The not happy thread

You're right Merc...this should not be a political discussion. I will refrain to discuss such matters if others do.

Carmina, your HMO has a legal obligation to treat you in a reasonable time. Ask for a supervisor and demand approval to go outside their system to an urgent care facility. It won't cost you anything more than your normal copay.

 

When I got the off the phone with Blue Shield, they said that I should be able to go the walk-in without paying more than my co-pay and if there is a problem to have the clinic call Blue Shield and they would take care of it. So, now it is a matter of getting through the rest of my workday before the walk-in clinic is open. 2 hours and 48 minutes. I will persevere. Thanks for the concerns guys. I really needed to vent.

 

Best of luck, 'Mina. We're all rooting for you. (Well, at least those of us that are worth a damn. )

 

Good. That's the way it is supposed to work. Whoever you spoke with earlier simply did not understand the system...not an uncommon with Blue Shield's customer service department.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but won't this cause you to vomit?
Or is that the idea?

 

Nah, you just have to avoid vinegar or risk a minor explosion.

 

I'm not happy becasue I can't get past a stupid irrelevant event,
That happened before my girlfriend and I were together,
And I know I should.

This is a lot of unhappiness. :[

 

It's not unhappiness, more just overwhelming.

I've just put all of my story ideas down into manuscripts to write eventually...I've got 8 in all.

Kinda shocking. XD

But yeah, I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed at that prospect. Where on Earth do I begin?

 

Rob, I've never ingested baking soda unbaked, but it's not actually dangerous unbaked, and I dont think it should making a person ill. I imagine it tastes bad though. I know it'd been recommended to me to try some for women problems and to my surprise, it apparently works for UTIs too.

xx

Sometimes I wonder what I could have done differently, and if it would have done anything to change the end result. I came home feeling fairly optimistic today, which is saying a lot. I am a deeply unhappy person; I realize it, and there's no point lying about it anymore. But gosh, I so much as breathe wrong, and it pisses someone off. But most of all it just upsets me, because it means I've screwed up again, and despite all the klutziness in the world, I still unfortunately find myself waking up each morning.

 

I agree with Merc...this is not the place to hold political debates.

 

Thank you, Dean, for saying it before I had to.

 

*pulls topic back to place*

OK.

Hmmmm...

Well, I'm not happy with the fact that I have a Latin American paper due next Tuesday. Yay, papers already.

 

so...to add insult to injury...I got fired today. Yeah. Fired. From a church. How the F#$% do you get fired from a church? I don't know. But I did it. OMFG! Why don't I just explode?

 

I'm really sorry Mina. That is horrible. I hope that your day gets better, or tomorrow is a better day for you hunny.

 

Never mind.

 

I certainly do care about Mina's problem. Sometimes, one's compassion for the needs of others and one's views on world issues are intricately related. But never let it be suggested that I do not care... as if one must be politically neutral on health care issues, or else they do not care about the humans affected by the health care issues.

 

*hugs*

I'm sorry that you're unhappy, Merc. You're a very driven, talented, intelligent person, and you deserve the best life has to offer.

Oh my god, Mina, I'm so sorry! I hope you find another position quickly!

 

I have to get there. I just do. I don't care what it takes.

 

I'm SO sorry, 'Mina!! It seems like all bad things are piling up for you... Yeah, I also hope you'll find something new quickly...

 

I just watered my ipod. I think I broke it (which would make it the fourth one I've ruined). Stupid, stupid.

 

I'm on my third iPod, I thought that was pretty bad so I've got sympathy for you.

 

I'm just clumsy. I break about half the things I touch.
I'm letting it dry out- hoping if it sits for a day or two it'll be good. Knock on wood...

 

Try soaking it in rice. The rice is supposed to soak up the water, and it saved my phone from water damage. Good luck!

I also know some people who sent their iPods back to Apple claiming that it just stopped working. They dont always check for signs of water damage because they're such a huge company. I'm not suggesting you make up such a claim, of course. Just sayin'.

And Mina, I am so, so sorry about what's happened to you lately. I wish you all the best finding a new job and working things out with Steve and your UTI.... it seems like all the bad stuff likes to pile on at times. If you need anything, sometimes it's easier to vent to a stranger, so my PM box is always open.

xx

And for anyone who takes issue with me, well, you're welcome to talk to me personally. You know, whatever.

 

Rice! I'll look into that. Thanks for the tip.
