Today our BigBoss sat in on the doc team meeting and made a point of praising how I handled a problem last week, and told the rest of my team to follow my example. Work still sucks, is chaotic, and stressful, but that was nice.
Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

That would be delightful, but I suspect not.

Right now, I think it's setting the trend of emailing MANY MANY people and saying "You have to tell me when you change things. If you don't, then the docs will reflect your old work, and we'll all look ridiculous. TELL ME THINGS."
I mean, it would be awesome if people at work dressed fancier and had bouncy ball chairs, but I'll take whatever I can get right now.

For the record, I really hate collection agencies. I'm not in the wrong. I am not trying to dodge you. I am trying to resolve the problem. Stop treating me like a deadbeat. My insurance is working with the hospital. The original biller. So. Bugger off!
Think of the productivity that would be increased if I didn't have to deal with this crap while at work! And why is single payer health system so wrong???

I just got my first headhunting call, ever. Thanks, Strix!
It was for a position that called for better PHP chops than I currently have, but still. I was able to give the headhunter a tip on a local place that made its tech employees unhappy (and thus likely to jump) and he said he'd put me down as interested in any eLearning stuff that might come up. (Who knows if he meant it. Still, I figured it couldn't hurt to let him know what I was looking for.)
Anyway, it totally made my day to have someone call me up out of the blue to see if I might suit some job openings they had. This has never happened before. Let's hear it for shiny, new resumes.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Woo! That's fabulous, Calli! And big kudos to Strix for the resume assist. She is, indeed, the bomb. I for realz treasure my status as her first customer.
Jilli, I'm glad you are getting public validation of your fabulositude, and hope the stress eases soon.
omnis, in case you're not familiar with them, here are your rights when it comes to dealing with collection agencies - [link]
I had a debt of $5 almost go to collections because somehow Urgent Care sent all my bills from my 12/11 visit to wrong addresses, though I swear I updated my address when I signed in. The final pre-collection notice was sent to my parents in Raleigh, and I haven't lived there for more than a couple of months since 1994. Thank heavens they sent it on promptly and I was able to pay it in time. Man, I'm just realizing that probably dinged my credit. Hmph.
E was finally back today!!! OMG I missed her. We earned silver medals in mental gymnastics today, minimum. And are inventing our own vocab to talk about the shit we deal with fitting ovals to rhombi. God, as much as I adore G, E and I are so much more on the same page. It's nice knowing she won't fuck shit up if I turn my back for a second.
Plus, it was nice not to be working alone, especially in the pseudo Am Psycho apartment.
Current preferred OKC dude should be back from China today. Hope I hear from him soonish, I'm sure he'll need a few days to get over jet lag and back into the swing of things.

Ah, good to know. So far, it's just at the frustrating side, that I pay insurance, but to pay the hospital bill, it has to jump through a million hoops, and in the mean time, I have to be hounded for something that isn't my fault. If it escalates any more, I will be calling an attorney! So far, the only thing she has said that is iffy, is she said I should pay it, and that my insurance will reimburse me. When I called my insurance, they said no, they will pay the hospital, but not me.
