Fed Up Already

Ooooooh......... snap. Just got home a little while ago and I'm already so mad I don't think I'm going to be able to sleep.

Today is the first day of "open enrollment" with our insurance. The one time a year when we can make changes to our lovely state medical insurance coverage.

I need to make changes. So why not do it online? Save the hassle of filling out paperwork and spending hours on hold over the phone with some pakistani clerk-for-hire trying to get my medical coverage straightened out.

After all, they send me ten emails a month reminding me that I can do this. And they tell me that by following their "lifestyle ladder" I can be healthier and happier!

Yeah.

And they also tell me I need to quit smoking, lose weight, exercise more, eat better, not be so stressed all of the time and quit being depressed.

Like that helps. Gee, all I need to do is quit being myself and I'll be happy!

I spent 45 minutes dinking around on their slow-as* website trying to change my medical coverage and could not get it done. It's designed to be as confusing and as difficult as possible, it seems. I found links that said "change your coverage here!" that led me nowhere.

What a bunch of crabfarrrgle.

When I finally decided to hit the little "x" in the corner and said "F*ck you" to their website I was plenty happy.

So I'll go in monday and fill out the paperwork like a good little drone.

I suspect it would have been cheaper and easier just to go to freaking medical school myself.

PS- I was going to write a post about spending the evening working with Ash and Coup. I was surprised that something almost happened in 2 house. Wasn't a bad night, but this internet thing got me down. Maybe later.
