I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

I'm sure they let you pet the cheetahs, right?
This is what Archer has led me to believe. Or am I thinking of ocelots?

At the San Diego Zoo, I think you can have an up close encounter at the cheetah run with an ocelot. I don't know that you can pet it. Or maybe the animal they offered the day we were there was an ocelot.

Ooh.

I tried to make getting to rehearsal after work easier by parking at a different bus stop this morning, only to be told by NextBus once I got there that the schedule has changed and if I waited for the bus I would be late to work. So I drove in and am an hour early instead. Yay?

Made it. Why so much paper, Accounting?

And now, stapling.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

ugh on Webex about Benefits for 2018. We are losing LOTS this coming year.

No more HCA (which paid HALF our deductible). I think plans got reduced, so the employee +1 which I was on is gone and I now must do family which is DOUBLE the employee plan. I think what I had been on was between those two, I will have to check.

Drug coverage went up.

% of the health plan that we cover went up.

Ugh msbelle. I'm so sorry. What a mess.

Good thing health care is competitive and ruled by the market so you have all these choices! Oh wait, not you, your employer. Forgot who was important for a second.

I have not been hydrating to my usual standards and I am out of Prozac; if everyone Ascended or Raptured or whatever without me I don't know how I will get through the rest of the week.

I'm hoping that when/if the Rapture comes, we'll get ten minutes of shocked, I Really Didn't Expect That silence, then Zeus or someone will poke their head out and say "Sorry we had to do it that way, folks, but now that they're gone, let's start cleaning the place up."
