12:45 pm - So mad.
|
So Will found out that it will cost almost as much as our monthly mortgage payment to add me to his health insurance (more than the mortgage when you consider the total between both of us).
So of course, we're not getting it.
I hope I don't get in a car accident or come down with cancer or heart disease or lupus any time soon, because too bad for me.
current mood:  so mad.

Something I found left on the table after one of my GED classes:
Written by one of my students' kids, who has apparently taken an interest in Physics at age 5.
(She even copied the errant chalk mark and interpreted it as a decimal. Don't forget to multiply by ten, then, kiddo!)
current mood:  amused

12:53 pm - I wish my boss would quit smoking at work.
|
Not so much because I'm concerned for his health (he is a grown man and can do what he wants; he has survived I don't know how many should've-been-fatal car wrecks, the shop catching on fire, and the Vietnam War), or even my own (if after all this, I finally die of lung cancer, I will have to assume that God is punishing me, and probably for good reason), but mostly BECAUSE IT STINKS.
UGH. STALE SMOKESMELL EVERYWHERE. And ashes. And cigarette butts. I know we have to sweep the floor regularly, anyway, but still. I hate seeing them everywhere. I hate ashes on the keyboard of the computer I need to use to look up paint codes. But mostly, STINK, STINK, STINK. It makes me feel like I'm stuck in the same sleeping bag with someone with bad breath. And it's pulled over our heads. Because it's very cold out and we have to stay warm in there and breathe bad breath air.
I know it is against OSHA regulations, too, but I don't really care about that. I also would probably never say anything, and certainly don't want anyone to get in trouble (plus, his wife hates it and says enough about it to make the point for all of us; my workfriend also hates it).
But oh man. That stink.
current mood: stinkhorse

11:04 am - Things Republicans probably hate about the newest healthcare reform developments:
|
- Public option is back on the table
- Everyone still "required" to purchase insurance
Possible ways to get more Republicans on board:
- Better articulate that the public option is just an option, and not a mandate
- Rethink "requiring" insurance. Maybe make it so people who choose not to have it and can't/don't pay their medical bills in full at the time of service have to pay interest. Make penalties worse for people who skip out on bills, entirely. Then we can say that purchasing insurance is "highly recommended" instead of "required," and that while there are consequences to not getting it, they are in the form of interest from doctors/hospitals (who are the most directly affected by non-payment), instead of penalties from the government (which people view as having too much money already, whether or not this is an accurate evaluation).
I have mixed feelings on this "requirement" business. On one hand, I like it, because with it, even people who would otherwise receive care and then not pay their bill would have it paid by insurance, which is more responsible and puts less of a strain on doctors and hospitals. But on the other hand, I don't like it, because of a natural rebellious tendency in all of us to not want to do something we're told to do and have no choice to not do. It's based on semantics and principle. On the whole, I still support it. I just really wish they could find a way to make it sound/feel less "mandatory."
current mood:  okay

11:10 am - Apple could've saved themselves some money by just replacing my whole computer.
|
Because here are the parts that have been replaced on it during the THREE TIMES it's been sent in for repairs in the past year:
- AirPort card (twice)
- Main logic board (twice)
- Hard drive
- RAM
- Connecting port
- Fan
- Heatpipe
- Top case
I feel like I've had my computer sent away for more time than I've had it at home (I exaggerate). But seriously. I've never had any problems at all with any Apple product I've ever owned, until they've gotten very, very old. This one was on the fritz the first week I got it. It's an outlier, for sure, but a lemon, nonetheless.
I still want my next computer to be a MacBook Pro, though.
current mood: frustrated

8:20 pm - What should I be for Halloween.
|
Here are some choices:
- Amy Winehouse (I have a higher chance of picking this one if karaoke is happening on Halloween night, because boy can I imitate her)
- Death with no face (an old favorite of mine)
- Darth Vader (for some reason, I have two brand new masks of him hanging around in my house; one higher quality than the other)
- Steve (as in "Adam and Steve," wherein William and I would dress up in these and staple fake-flower leaves to our underwear)
I don't even know if I have a reason for a costume. I don't even know if there are any parties happening. Maybe we will have a party. If we do, maybe you should come to it.
current mood:  curious

5:21 pm - A conversation that happened at work today:
|
Me: Well, Happy Columbus Day.
Other Person: Yeah, it's the day he landed at Plymouth Rock, right?
Me: That was the Pilgrims!
O.P.: Eh, close enough.

8:46 am - Women who publicly use that, "Well-behaved women rarely make history," quote, rarely make history.
|
It's true.
Also, this is gay:
Also 2, being a woman who uses "womanhood" or any implied facets thereof as a crutch or a schtick is gay. And I do mean "gay" in the same sense that we all used it in middle school.
current mood: contrarian; mean; right.
