. . .I started the laundry, and made a dent in the SRM bookkeeping. Sigh. The day-job imposes curious tolls in unlooked for places. I wonder if, taken all together, they add up to being worth having health insurance. Especially in light of the apparent belief on the part of HR that this year, the institution lost a little ground with the insurer, and next year they expect to have no negotiating position available, so the higher costs will be passed on the the employees.
Funny how everybody allows as how the insurance companies are out of control, and nobody expects them to get pulled over anytime soon.
Anyhow, another good swack at the bookkeeping tomorrow oughta settle its hash. Whereupon I can file all these pieces of paper and! Be ready to start writing on -- heck, maybe I'll take Thanksgiving Day entirely off -- Black Friday. That'll be fun.
The laundry, of course, is a never-ending story all its own.
For now, I need to get off this infernal machine, clean the cat boxes (hey! I forgot to put that on the to-do list!), and have a nice plate of spaghetti.
Hope everybody's having a productive and/or restful weekend, as suits you best.

Much the Same Experience
Date: 2010-11-21 08:44 am (UTC)And my employer also raised or health insurance this year too. It went up around $10 per month for us. We're lucky though to be in UT where there is a model health insurance program from Intermountain Health care. Its a non profit. I think I've said that before. So we're not going to be too awfully impacted I think.
Perhaps in the future there will be some kind of private health insurance you can get. Unless the whole thing goes to hell with the new House. Don't know what your politics are like. I wish that someone besides old white people had voted in the mid terms. Only 42% of the electorate bothered to vote. Old white people tend to be very short sighted imo. As an Old White Person myself I try to be more open minded and modren.
Anyway I think that all your fans wish you could ditch the day job.
Am reading Carousel Tides. It's fantastic!
Gus sends his most polite barks to Hexapuma. He's a little upset that the dogs so far appearing in Carousel Tides are bad dogs. He'd like you to put some good dogs in your books sometimes. Like those nice Goldens you saw on the beach. There was, of course, a very good dog in Carpe Diem I think it was. Although you weren't quite sure he was a canis familiaris.
