Insert rant about how for-profit health insurance is a crock of shit.
The free market breaks down when you have inelastic demand.

Dana, yikes! Best of luck at the doctor.
sarameg, feel better.
ltc was already a little cranky from teething, and then the poor thing knocked her face into her crib while toddling around.
Grey's Anatomy: I was expecting there to be some sort of twist, but the plot was surprisingly straightforward for a GA premiere.

Because books.
Finger pleurisy is no joke! (Says the woman who managed to infect a cuticle, and wind up in urgent care with a really painful finger the size of a balloon, and lancing and antibiotics and ...)
In other words, good call, Dana. :-)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm kind of hoping it's carpal tunnel, because that seems like a better option than RA. I guess gout is also treatable, but it's not a typical presentation of gout. I say this with confidence, because googling is totally the same as a medical degree.
Also, lancing? OMG. Please don't do that to yourself again.

My boss used the word layoff in an email to us today. He is getting pressure from above to affect sales numbers that WE HAVE NO CONTROL OVER. I am trying to stave off a panic attack.
I mean I could drop to 35 hours a week and be happy about that, but I can't really volunteer for that without it looking like I am working more than necessary now.

Good luck, msbelle. Layoffs are never fun even if you come out okay.
OTOH, getting laid-off turned out to be great for my career.

Yikes, msbelle!
I brought the laptop home last night because I had some work to finish up before morning. And then I decided to telework because I really didn't feel like putting on a bra.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I think that is a very sound reason to work from home, sarameg.

Not sure what I was thinking. 5 hours a week off my pay or really any of our pay would be a minuscule savings.
