in which i take the morning off
I worked last Sunday and have been taking some short days this week in lieu.
It is getting cold, the heat comes on in the morning and a wood fire at night is most welcome.
I keep solving one problem at work only to have another pop up. All are related and all are catastrophic. I'm juggling bowling balls here.
The ESA landed a probe on a comet. I'd been reading about the name of the probe since one of the ladiesbingo stories I'm trying to write is set on Amelia Peabody's dahabeeyah, the Philae. Weird coincidence. This amazing accomplishment is being overshadowed by the shirt controversy and the fact that it may have bounced and landed wrong. Really?
Still avoiding most news because of bad feelings, as in "I have a bad feeling about this". It's a refreshing break actually.
A medical supplies provider screwed up their submission to Medicare on behalf of a service they provided my mother and for which they didn't get paid. Naturally this has resulted in almost a year of bills, threats, promises, cajoling, letters, etc., harassing my elderly parents for money they don't owe. The doctor's office which prescribed the service has tried and tried to get it fixed, or so they say. My mom has called and called and written and been told it's fixed, but it's not. My sister just complains to me about it. I've asked her to get all the material together, copy it and send it along for me to try and tackle. She wants me to come pick it up. Yeah, right.
Went to Financial Aid night at the high school. Was relieved, or maybe appalled, at how much I knew about the system already. Was appalled, or maybe depressed, at how much chatter about gaming the system I overheard. I'm no good at games.
Welp. I do have to get dressed and drive to my place of employment. Where did my morning go?
