That does seem harsh. Because it's not like it won't affect your health if you screw up, so being all "Good Luck with that!" doesn't seem like good practice.(and not only because, if you get sick from doing it wrong, the doctor would totally shake his finger at you.) You know what I would like? Never having to discuss the disability Name Thing ever again. (our movement hasn't caught on because even more than Buffistas, we have three things we ever talk about and, unlike Buffistas, they are all boring.)

Never having to discuss the disability Name Thing ever again.

Do you mean like person-first language?

Well, this is a new one for me -- a student forgot to do her homework because someone fired a gun near her house and she had to call the police.

Did she bring a copy of the police report?

It'll be delivered too late for Talk Like a Pirate Day, but I'm still tempted...

If I were still going to the office, I'd buy that and wear it under a smart suit jacket.

They miss me at the office.

One thing I unreservedly miss about my old office is that we gleefully celebrated Talk Like a Pirate Day every year. We didn't dress up in a big way, but had a bag full of accessories like pirate bandanas and eyepatches and plastic hand-hooks, etc.

I'm pretty sure I was the original instigator of all that, but everyone jumped in with zeal.

I was thinking of Halloween - because nobody but me really does anything, I generally keep it low key (yet never let it go unacknowledged) on Halloween. But Halloween falls on the weekend this year. I hadn't thought of just wearing it on some random Tuesday. Interesting...

I just discovered that I haven't been getting any short term disability pay because it's been closed. As of June 1st because my meds manager hasn't faxed anything or her assitant has faxed anything. Even though I asked if they had.

So it's my fault for not following up and I see her later for a med check.

BUT I'm only going to get paid at 60% of my pay so I've got to decide if I should just go part time and take my chances with the state. Because I'd be making $6/hour with that based on my old hourly wage and if you take into consideration how much my benefits are I don't think it makes sense.

I also found out that the meds manager's office person is submitting some claims under the name of the meds manager who is in network and some under the group practice name which is NOT in Network.

Ugh askye, sounds like the meds manager isn't doing her job, or at least someone in the office isn't.
