I'm fed up with people who say they are your friends and let you down. I'm fed up with being forgotten by everybody. I wish I were less lonely- if only they still considered me as part of the gang...

Had an issue yesterday with a call from the "Health Management Program" offered by my insurance company to help monitor my health "conditions". They called yesterday to verify and update the information they had for me. I guess it showed in my voice that I got a little irritated when they were asking questions that should have had obvious answers from my previous responses. (Q.- Are you still monitoring your blood sugar levels 4 times a day? A.- No, the doctors determined that my diabetic symptoms were brought on by the stress of my surgery. Everything is back to normal without any intervention. Q.- Are you still giving yourself the daily insulin shots? A.- No - See Above. Q. - Have you had any blood sugar readings below 60 or above 200 in the last 2 weeks? A.- ) And it went on from there.

Then it hit me - One of the first questions was "Have you seen Dr. YYYYY recently? I have NEVER seen Dr.YYYYY. (I didn't know he was missing.) Are you still taking RRRRRRRRR as directed. I have never taken RRRRRRRRR. Is your shipping address still PO Box 1234, That Town. I have never had a PO Box, and I don't even know where That Town is. I live in This Town. My information has gotten merged with someone else's in their database. "I'm sorry, I don't want to answer any more questions and I don't think your service is a "good fit" for me. Good Bye."

I called them back a bit later to report the problem to a supervisor, who was unavailable at the time. Supervisor called me back later, while I was gone, and left a message that she was in the office from 8am - 5 pm EST. I called her back this morning at 9:30 AM EDT and got a message that their offices were open from 8am to 5 pm PACIFIC time.

I also got a recorded message asking me to call the Insurance number to answer a few questions on the customer service I received yesterday. When I called that number, I got the beginnings of a RECORDED survey. Sorry, I don't want to press 1 for a certain response, and I don't want to rate the service by pressing a number from 1 to 5. I want to express my concerns to a REAL LIVE PERSON.

Whew. I feel better now.

My boss has kept the a/c at work set at 66F, even though we are all freezing. No one feels well going from 66F to a much warmer outside temperature. I woke up this morning with an a/c cold. He is not here today, so we've set it to 74, which at least makes it comfortable...until he returns.

They don't have to charge the posted price, so I've learned to read their little pricing stickers. Man, I wish they still had to put price stickers on things like they used to.
When somethings on sale, I always read the tag number to make sure which item it refers to.

cell phone bills too outrageous. I feel like this is really what taxation without representation is. And this new world order that seems to be the goal of tea baggs I suspect it will only get worse unless the majority of heros rise up and say something. It sucks for the few haves to rule as tyrants over those who don't.

People lie to you so they can hang out with other people.

They lie to you but when you tell them a white lie they go off on you. /facepalm

And some people just always have to be right and fight with you

Hypocrites annoy me
