This evening I will find out what I got on my last Accounting exam, which by the way I took in a sleep-deprived haze, so what I actually did on that thing is anyone's guess.
Evidently, in the same sleep-deprived muddle, I paid the gas bill. I have no recollection of doing so. Yet, I did, in fact, print out a confirmation of said e-payment. One must wonder what else I did and don't remember. I'm sure it was very responsible, though.
I'm giving up being responsible. A cost benefit analysis shows that no good ever comes of this - you just get to work more, get taxed more, worry more, and get to support all the dregs and their offspring. Depressed? You should be - you'll pay for your own anti-depressants AND theirs. Plus, if sex offenders can't get it up, you'll pay for their Viagra.
Speaking of prescription medications, I did, in fact get my $22 back from the pharmacy. Now, all I had to do was pick up the credit card receipt showing the credit to my account and be off. I had to explain to the clerk a bunch of times what I wanted. First, she went off to check the prescription bins. No, it's not a prescription, it's a credit slip. Then, when she found it, she mumbles an inarticulate question to another clerk who also doesn't really speak English. The other clerk shrugs. The first clerk hands me the slip. I finally gain posession of the slip and scurry off, before more inarticulate and confused mumbling occurs at my expense. It takes a few days until I see the credit on my account.
No, this isn't about managed care so much as it's about hiring the bottom of the barrel.
The techies at work decide yesterday to archive all my emails before 3/1/05 because I'm a persistent 500+ MB file offender. So now, I have to look in two completely different sets of email files to find what was easily and reasonably found in one. It's not that I use email often in my job - just 95% of the time. They just need to get more servers. In fact, I need my own server to accomodate my very necessary email.
Ok, gotta go do some work.

Ya gotta think bigger. Yes, what you're dealing with IS managed care because managed care is all about cutting costs. How do you cut costs? By lowering wages so that all but the most incompetent will apply. I know how to do the clerk's job well, and so do you. So what's stopping you and I from being drug store clerks? Think about it.
Whoops. I wrote that wrong. I meant "only the most incompetent will apply." There's incompetence everywhere you look. Even blogging.
