Today we dealt with a gentleman I’ll call “he who just would not listen”, and the ensuing conversation was probably as close as you’d get to “Who’s on first?” in a pharmacy.
Him: Why is my copay for 15 tablets $28? I know that I switched plans, nut last month it was only $15.
Us: Each company has their own plans and costs.
Him: But what if I got 30 tablets? Would it still be $28?
Us: No, because your plan will only cover a 30 day supply, which is 15 tablets.
Him: What if you gave me 30 tablets for one month?
Us: That’s called insurance fraud.
Him: What if I switched from taking half of a 20mg tablet every day to just taking a 10mg tablet?
Us: You’d need to get your doctor to update your prescription to reflect that dose.
Him: And how many tablets would I get?
Us: 30 for a 30 day supply.
Him: And how much would that cost?
Us: $28.
Him: Why is 15 tablets the same cost as 30?
Us: Because it’s a month’s supply and that costs $28 according to your plan.
Him: Why do I need to pay $28 when last month I paid only $15?
[Lather, rinse, repeat]
I went in 30 minutes early today because the other Monday tech had to stay home because her kids’ day camp was cancelled because of flooding. I was expecting that it would be pure insanity in there, but it was actually pretty tame. I got a call tonight saying it was still cancelled, and a request to come in early if at all possible. Since Eddie doesn’t go into work until noon, I’ve got plenty of time to get up there a couple of hours early, giving me 4 hours of overtime. Sweet.
I did manage to get out over the weekend and buy some new shirts. I picked up a couple of cute halter tops from Lane Bryant, and one of their uber-pricey 5-way bras. I look good in them. I’ve lost about 2″ off my ribcage and an entire cup size since last September. Expensive, but worth it. I need a haircut this week; it’s getting shaggy as hell. I’m not sure if I’ll go to the place I’ve been going to with Mom, where they don’t always cut it as short as I’d like, or go to Fantastic Sam’s, where I know I’ll get something that’s what I want.

heh don’t you love customer service?/
what is this five way bra???
Customer service is just another way for me to amuse myself, and this time I get paid for it.
As for the 5-way bra, it’s the kind with interchangable straps, so it can convert from standard straps to halter to criss-crossed back, etc.
cool.. i don’t think i have ever seen one. I am going to ask this, even though i am sure with your body type it would have to be, but does it support well??
It actually does pretty well (impressive with a 42DD bust). Unlike a lot of the other bras I’ve had that are (or can be worn) strapless, this one has rubber gripping stuff inside so it doesnn’t slide down. The only complaint I’ve got is that the clear plastic straps it came with stretch a bit by the end of the day, so I need to adjust it a bit.
