I thought it might be beneficial to actually make a post that wasn't whining or ranting about ShellyStuff™, since that in of itself is a waste of time.
Problem:
Dental - There are two parts to this: Me and Todd. Mine specifically relates to getting my upper dentures relined and getting my remaining bottom teeth pulled and bottom dentures. The cost for the reline is negligible (13 bucks). But I just discovered some WONDERFUL news! There is no dentist in PALESTINE that accepts Cigna DMO!!!! How so very, very, very fucking wonderful. It's not so bad for me. I have two procedures. Get the top dentures relined and get the bottom teeth pulled and get the lower dentures. Two trips. Maybe three. Can't remember the process...oh yeah. It would be at least 3. Perhaps 2 if I got the reline for the top done at the same time I got the bottoms pulled and dentures. It's just a matter of getting there.
Todd, however, is another story. He has a shitload of work that needs to be done and we've got no time to do it. I guess...we'll have to make a series of trips. Up there. It will have to be coordinated every few weeks and he can't miss any other school. The problem for both of us is money. I only have one procedure that will cost much (dentures) but that's a big one. 520 bucks. Plus having the teeth pulled, which I don't think costs very much. Todd's is probably going to be a shitload. And unless we can get on a payment plan somewhere...we are just fucked.
Solution: I'm just going to have to check with Dr Henegar's office to see if we CAN indeed set up some kind of payment plan with our HSA card. And I just have to do it. Regardless of what I might think about it. If not...possibly search for someone who will.
Problem: My Meds
I've had a huge problem with Dr Grant's office trying to provide info to Dr Chadwell's office. They have NEVER responded to any of my faxes either by contacting me to say they couldn't do it or would nor providing the requested information. Which makes me wonder if they ever will. I know I'm going to have to call and talk to someone. Faxing is only going to delay things. They have proven too many times that they won't follow through. So I have to call and talk to someone and tell them exactly what I need and some kind of promise that they are going to follow through and let me know. What I need is - an actual diagnostic code and documentation (justification?) for my 60 mg per day. And I don't know what they have or if he will be satisfied. And since I really won't be able to go back in to see him for 2 more weeks...what if what they do is not enough and he declines? Then I would have to make an appointment with Dr Grant, which could take 2-3 weeks??? However, if I make an appt with Dr Grant I'd rather they give me a 3 month supply AND the documentation. However, now that I know what he's looking for I wouldn't necessarily mind a one month IF they will give me what I need - but then I have to be sure that he's going to do it one month later or I'll be in the same fix. But I have to do something today.
Job
Problem: Getting one. LOL. Well, really it is. The somewhat "easiest" route would be to go the sub route. I've got an "in" with Gary on the Malakoff one. I'll have to go some to do something possibly with Cayuga. The good thing? (Which in a way is possibly a bad thing as well, at least moneywise) Even if I get "on" with both, and I'm just guessing here...I'd be lucky to get maybe upwards up 8 gigs a month. If Cayuga paid similar to Malakoff, that would be somewhere around 500 bucks per month after gas. Of course, that's 500 bucks that I don't have now...but I would have to be actively pursuing other stuff...at least for the fall semester. Something as a means to an end...working on filing bk, updating my skills/becoming comfortable with "being out there" ---overall, have some kind of shorter/longer term goal in mind and actively working towards it. What that is, I don't know...I just can't picture myself "interviewing"...meaning being one of hundreds of candidates for a position and then being accepted based on my hole-filled resume and my "overpowering" interviewing skills...etc. I need to have an "in" with somebody who can help me get my foot in the door. Meaning Scooter/Robert/Tommy/Tim Perry...etc. All have their plusses and minuses. At least with the first 3 they are my personal friends, even if I haven't been close with them for awhile. Tim...I feel rather uncomfortable just hitting him up. Actually, I feel uncomfortable just hitting any of them up. I'd like to spend a little time catching up or something while outlining my story and then work up to it. It's either that or just temp agency. Which might mean Tyler. And with this car the way it is with overheating and not having the $$ nor really the desire to spend that kind of money to fix a fucked up car, I'm not sure how it would do in Tyler traffic. All it would take would be a few long red lights and...
