choco_froshWell. The GOOD news is that my insurance has finally, allegedly, after an unnecessary number of requests for revised paperwork, paid MOST of my hospital bill from Lachine.
The BAD news* is that they didn't pay all of it, which MAY mean that they negotiated them down, or MAY mean that I *still* have to get a bank draft in Canadian dollars and mail it to Montreal, and finding out is going to require what I foresee as an unpleasant time in phonetree land.
(Also, the bastards didn't pay for my lipid test this summer, and so I just had to write a check for that. BCBH, you are making single payer look better and better. At least I have the money.)
But some more GOOD news:
- I have survived annual HR review! With people complaining about my tendency to goof off (oops...), but also with people describing me as "enthusiastic", which is a huge lie but I'm glad I'm being competent and dedicated enough to give that impression.
- The lesbian space necromancers book is actually really good!
(The bad news with that is that I got jack all else done this evening, barring twenty minutes talking to an anthropomorphic owl. oh well, tomorrow's another day, even if I'm going to be spending most of it ringing and disassembling a creche.)
- Secret project! Which is another thing I should have been doing tonight.
But instead, I'm going to actually put my laundry away, and then fall over.
* OK, the actually bad news is that Trump is in the White House, Australia is on fire, and we're down the leg of the Trousers of Time** where these things are true. So this is the SLIGHTLY bad news.
**which are probably more like octopus underpants, but there you go.

(I am delighted to hear it about the lesbian space necromancers.)
