I keep panicking and think I've missed Open Enrollment, but mine hasn't started yet. And even if I miss it, I'll just have the same health insurance next year that I did this year, which is what I want, so absolutely no need to panic. I think I'll blame my adrenal gland, it gets bored.
I love the smell of desperate librarian in the morning.

I only start to panic because I would lose out on FSA and that ends up being over $5K pre-tax for me.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
WTF?!?!?!?
UK surgeon accused of misdiagnosing cancer to perform unnecessary surgeries on women - Boing Boing
So-called "rogue surgeon" Ian Paterson has been suspended by Britain's General Medical Council after accusations he performed "unnecessary or inappropriate" breast operations on over a thousand women in the UK. Investigators claim he misdiagnosed at least 450 of those women with breast cancer when they were in fact cancer-free, performing unnecessary mastectomies and lumpectomies, and placing them on brutal treatment regimens when they had no cancer to treat. There are testimonies from some of the women here. One of the falsely diagnosed women even planned her own funeral, believing she had advanced metastatic disease. Some of the women are suing the hospitals that allowed this to happen. Going through surgery, chemo, radiation, and drug treatment for breast cancer was, for me, a living nightmare. It has left me feeling violated, damaged, and broken. I can't even begin to imagine what it's like for these women, who didn't even have the disease in the first place. Words truly fail me.

That is horrifying. It is hard to believe that that could happen.
I didn't mean to denigrate your appropriate leap into action, msbelle, just reminding myself that there is still no need for me to panic.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, last night Scott Brown said something about defeat being temporary -- word on the street in my office is that John Kerry is going to be the next Secretary of State, and Brown can run in that special election.

Wow, a man as Secretary of State? How innovative. (How many years has it been? Colin Powell?)

Yeah, I'm not sure if a man could have the right kind of diplomatic skills, you know?
