and in other news, hell reports subzero temperatures and light snowfall

I just got off the phone with a customer service rep from my health insurance company. After I gave her the information about the claim, she said, and I quote, "Oh, I see we denied that in error. We'll pay the hospital and send you an updated explanation of benefits."

o.O

I think I'm going to go out and buy a lottery ticket now.

Either she's lying, or the seas have turned to blood.

Fifteen business days, she said. That should give us time to get ready for the coming apocalypse.

Well, that seems unlikely. Are you sure you were talking to health insurance? Heh.

[isiscolo]

I'm sure it was, because I went through ten miserable minutes of navigating their computerized voice recognition system before I actually gained access to a real human being. But you know, if that's what I have to pay, I do it.

Wow. What will you do with all that mental outrage you must have worked yourself into before you dialed?

I think I'd have been speechless.

[isiscolo]

Hee, you are exactly right! I was all ready to be logical and persistent and firm, and...she said they made a mistake. Maybe I'll call up my congressman and yell at him instead.

... or else the rep is maniacley (is that how you spell it?) laughing her arse off with her version of rotating April Fool's Day... not that I'm cynical or anything. =D

I'd prefer the Hell Freezes Over scenario myself. Lottery tickets sound good too.

[isiscolo]

She said to give them 15 business days. WE SHALL SEE.

Damn. Wish I'd known this yesterday, 'cause, really -- Lotto. You with the health insurance win, friend with the job win, and me with the 'hey, you've got another week!' win on the thesis...

[isiscolo]

The stars are aligning! Or something. (and yay on thesis!)
