Cindy, that is unconscionable. Fuck those motherfuckers.

Cindy, fuck them. I’m so sorry. I hate that insurance companies get to practice medicine by overruling doctors.

Our wings are not tired.

Oh Cindy, insurance companies fill me with rage so often. I hope DH has his way with them.

My Nilly Calendar shows a doubly excellent day with this day being the anniversary of the first Buffista board way back in 1997. That was before my time which didn't occur until 2001. Also, it is happy birthday day for Hayden, who I don't think visits Natter often, but keep him in your thoughts.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

making another appeal with the insurance company

Topic!Cindy, is that an internal appeal or an external appeal?

Punishingly Intricate

Ugh, Cindy, that is absolutely infuriating.

Twenty four years!

I see Hayden on FB, so I'll make sure to ping him.

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

I am BEYOND frustrated with work. With no prior warning to us in HR, or specifically me who fields most COVID questions, the mask mandate for 90% of our offices was removed. No screening before entering, no proof of vaccination required. The statement reads “if you have not been vaccinated…..please continue to wear your mask.” No power for supervisors to do anything though.

I am forwarding questions to my boss (SINCE THIS WAS NOT DISCISSED WITH ME AT ALL AND I HAVE NO FAQ), and she is ignoring the straight answers. I love that they are saying “there is no way to verify who is vaccinated” PATENTLY FALSE.

So, I just sent her an email asking if my responses are ok

Ques: “what do we do if an unvaccinated worker refuses to wear mask?”

Answ: Nothing

ION - no hair pats needed, I just need to share and get it out. It’s been 10 days if daily texts and phone message and videos and emails to Mac with no response. His bank account is $0. I think this might be a turning point. I am not sure if he is ever going to be in contact with us again.

I agree with your frustration. Almost all business places I know about have the policy of signs and policies of mask wearing, but employees are not to challenge the unmasked. My SIL who drives bus in NYC says she can neither challenge riders on masks or payment. She asks and if they don't she can do nothing, except maybe give them dirty looks from under her mask.

I'm sorry, msbelle, I wish I didn't know that pain so well. All I can say is that at 29 my Brendon seems to be getting his act together. He still has his silent stretches, but self sufficient at last!
