WTF? How is that optional?
They say that we can't prove that it didn't arrive. I hope it's just an opening salvo, and they assume that most people won't fight back.
I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

...can't prove it didn't arrive? Wtf, they think you are just randomly wanting a new vacuum and pinning it on them??

I guess. Plus, we paid for full value insurance. Like I said, we're going to have a talk.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Tear them a new one, Dana. Politely, of course.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Ugh. Long dreadful day at work, covering for co-worker who is clearly not paid enough for what she does (had to sic three different departments on an insurance plan asshole who was being shitty and self-righteous and whose employers caused an entire family to spend the day in tears, before one of our MDs used the power of the initials after her name to bring the plan's medical director to heel and choke out an auth number, rendering the entire day of family tears totally pointless).
(Not to mention that I had a sinking feeling at 11 AM that we needed to sic the MD on them but was dissuaded by officemates who felt that that shouldn't be the MDs' job. Which, no, it shouldn't, but if I'd gone with my gut the auth number would have been choked out five hours earlier and the family wouldn't have been crying and miserable and wondering why they hadn't just gone to Stanford.)
(I still want to stab someone, or cry, or go howl at the conveniently full moon. Thank God for Hec and Matilda holding my hand and feeding me tasty foods and rubbing my neck.)
(Also thank God the co-worker only takes time off once a year, and is coming back Thursday.)
Just, ugh.

I was just startled by looking over at Letterman and seeing someone I know playing guitar for Jennifer Nettles.

Go, JZ! I'm glad you were there for the family.
Absolutely!
It sounds absolutely gutting to have to deal with that crap. But as a family member who deals with the other side of the equation, thank you.
