Grr argh...we've been fussing with JoCo Cruise for a bit trying to get a refund and they finally did refund our money. Rather than refunding the credit card they mailed a check. Not a registered check or anything, just a check in an envelope marked PAYMENT ENCLOSED with the check showing in the window.

The post office scanned it into their system on November 25th. And that's the last anyone's seen of it. You're supposed to give it a week before reporting mail lost, so since today was 7 days later, we tried to report it via the link and got a message that the "report missing mail" link is only good for 7 days.

JoCo Cruise has offered to paypal us the money, but I'm going to give it one more day as I noted there are a couple Christmas cards scanned in that we haven't received either. Hopefully everything will arrive tomorrow.

I'm on hold with our insurance, trying to find out why they denied my therapy claims (this insurance company is new as of September). My therapist told me there was a problem with the diagnosis code, but the representative I'm on hold with said it might be because telehealth visits are not covered. It's a goddamn pandemic, folks. You're not going to cover telehealth during a pandemic? Do you want to pay for my hospitalization instead?

Send reasonable-decision-making vibes my way. Or, I guess, send them in the direction of the insurance company.

Okay, the nice lady I talked to said she's going to resubmit the claims for review and ask for clarification on their telehealth policy. I guess that's better than just a flat denial. So, fingers crossed.

So, has everyone seen the new Match.com ad?

That’s a bit on the nose. Well done, though.

Timelies all!

I am tired of Xmas music. My supervisor started playing it in the lab last week. Luckily she's not in the lab every day.

In related news, I was LDBed on Monday. sigh...

The fact I'm doing curbside pickup for groceries exponentially increases my odds of winning LDB this year.

Monday was still November. I thought rules state that it doesn't count until December?

An excellent correction on that story about the ad: "An earlier version of this story misstated Satan and 2020 were feeding each other strawberries during a date. They were eating a chili pepper."

Volans what do you mean about mail being scanned in? Are you somehow able to see your mail before you get it?? Is this magic?

I have been futless all day. Don’t wanna make dinner.
