Fairly boring commentary from an oversensitive, emotionally demanding computer nerd (with a not-so brand-new 4-year-old, and two cats)

Energy zappers
These are the kind of annoying things that seem to drain all my energy away these days: -- Finding out my sleep study is going to cost me $600 out of pocket, because the center was out of network, even though I was referred to it by two doctors who are "in network" -- Going to the doctor to hear the results, only to find that he didn't have the report, but wait, now they found it ... I have apnea, and now I need to go back to ... yes, the out-of-network sleep center. It will be worth it if I can finally sleep again, however. -- Getting a new prescription for my allergies, waiting 30 minutes in line just to drop it off (behind someone befuddled by not getting the refill they needed, etc., etc), only to find the drug store doesn't have it and they have to order it. -- Getting two "urgent" messages from Sears that turn out to be just telling me that the last payment on the card was late (even though I have had this card for probably 10 years and seldom missed a payment by more than 2 days, which apparently is not good enough for them).Posted by markj at April 30, 2003 10:20 PM
