I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

but at the same time I don’t really need it to be February yet.

For planning purposes, we use a weekly calendar that is divided into periods that approximate months rather than actual months, and period 1 is 4 weeks long with the first week starting 12/29/24 so now that it is week 5 I am arguably in a new planning cycle. This does not improve anything, as far as I can tell.

Also, that sucks, JenP, glad y'all caught it before any harm was done

Wait, so was the email actually sent from your account or did she cc you on the response, or how did you see the email from “you” in your account?

No, they sent it from their own Gmail account to the email address listed on the org's website (I also have access to that org email account -- we both do, so that's how I saw it), but they changed the "how your name appears in recipient's inbox" to say that their email was from Jennifer Mylastname. Of course, when you open the email, if you hover over it, you see their actual sending account is not from me, but if you're not suspicious...

So, from LI, they learned my name, my title, the org I worked for... not hard to get an email address for it... and voila! Scam city!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Argh, it's been 3 fucking weeks and the prior authorization for my migraine meds is still up in the air. I'm thinking about making voodoo dolls of everyone involved and then stabbing pins in the heads to give them all migraines.

Oh no, Steph! They should definitely all get hit with some kind of sympathetic magic to teach them a lesson

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Fuck that, Steph.

I don't know if it's my doctor's office dragging their feet on the prior authorization questionnaire (and seriously FUCK my insurance for requiring they fill out a fucking questionnaire) or if it's my insurance dragging their feet on the approval process, or both, but I am seriously wanting to kick some asses. Or use Dark Willow-style magic to just get this goddamn prior authorization pushed through and approved.

That's such a bullshit rigamarole, Steph.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

So fucking unnecessary.
