A Whiskey Wednesday Rant
That bottle looks very good today. I have so many mini rants that I decided to just roll them up into one long, annoying bitch fest.Today, I have to go to the doctor, fix my husband's disability claim and run other errands of the mind numbing variety.
Rant number one involves doctors. Is there a paper they sign when they get their degree that they have to be asshats? Concrete is laid in their ears and ice is embedded in their fingertips. I have had several different doctors in the last ten years due to insurance and location changes. They all had one thing in common. They all thought I was stupid.
When I was pregnant, I told the obstetrician that I was having a lot of pain. She (that's right "she") basically said that was part of it and quit being a baby. When they pulled a ten pound CYST three months after my son blasted his way past the monster, the doctor was shocked. I wasn't. I told her there was something wrong. *rolls eyes*. I'm finding myself increasingly unwilling to inform a doctor of my symptoms and TRUST that they'll address the problem.
My second rant is about the Disability Claims of the state of California. When Joe was newly diagnosed with diabetes, there was a three week period where complications from the illness kept him off work. Disability forms were sent. The doctor signed the papers. The money was paid........a month later.
Then, last month, Disability sends us a letter saying we owe them money because Joe was paid for a week he could work. So, I call and they tell me to send a letter--yadayadayada. I do all this and a month later I get ANOTHER letter stating they're going to attach his wages to pay it back and so on and so forth.
Unbelievable.
So, on top of getting a speculem up close and personal today, I get to play detective and find out if Disability is on crack.
But I'm not bitter.
Of course, this is the crown jewel of the two weeks from hell. I'm ready for some kind of break--good news, something.
Oh, wait! I do have some good news. Go check out what Jessica Faust said about my query at Bookends Literary Agency I was sure I was going to get pasted. Instead, she was very kind and extremely helpful. A little good news helps.
End of rant.
