cornerofmadnessYou don't have to follow the stereotype. There was no need to suck so hard. Got to work, found my coordinator changed my class on me next semester. Doesn't work then. Had to change it back.
Remember me talking about my hurty teeth? I call the dentist and they said 'come in now.' I fly up there. So.... I don't have an infected tooth or a cracked filling. It is what I thought it was. My malocclusion is getting much worse. The Masseter and Temporalis muscles are in a spasm (let's see if my students remember where those are). He's suggesting muscle relaxers (luckily I have stores of those for all the other weird crap that happens to me) and an orthodontist....Basically my jaw is sort of backwards. They're supposed to be closed in the front and open over the molars. Mine is open in the front and the molars are closed putting constant pressure on the TMJ. My jaw is basically unable to fully close so the muscles are strained and that's causing the neuritis too. I tell mom this and she goes OOo maybe you'll have to have your jaw wired up over Christmas. Try not to sound so happy about that mom.
WHile I'm there I call my insurance to find out why they're denying my test strips. The rep sounds horrified. Tell them to use your medical # not the pharmacy one. So I go into CVS, tell them that, same result. You can't have these. I get pissed and leave. Go home, call insurance again and this rep says 'that doesn't sound right, let me see.' She comes back and says' you have to mail order that script. WHY?? I'm 5 weeks shy of being a client for a year and you're just telling me this now. WHY? She can't answers, investigates some more. Turns out it's a tier 3 test strip and I can either mail order it or go to a tier 1 test strip which means a new glucometer (I can get that for free). She sets me up with someone who is as rude as this woman was nice if not particularly helpful. She asks for my address and then gets huffy when I say, you have my stuff pulled up. I've been talking to you guys for over a half hour. It's still OH. When did you leave Virginia? I've never lived there you have the wrong Dana up. Then she gets REALLY pissed like I'm the dumb fuck who can't input data right. I start giving her the address. She won't wait for me to add in apt # (won't give me her name either). Then at the end of it, does okay an 'emergency' box of test strips, does NOT give me the mail order details and tells me to call my doctor for a different glucometer before hanging up. Nice. Classy.
And I'm grading an exam no one even bothered to study for judging by the answers. Way to miss ALL the fill in the blanks. dear god. Hey mom - what's a fracture that pierces the skin.
Mom - compound.
Me - sprain, they answered SPRAIN
Mom - sputters WHAT? I haven't been in school in 50 years and I know that.
Me - Kanda could answer better.

a2zmom's book, give me something else to think about other than asshole insurance companies, foolish students and the fact I'm shattering my teeth in my sleep. I love music. Most kinds of music. I have so many cds I can't count them all. I'll share some of my current favorites and you do the same. Doesn't have to be an all time fave (it can though), just whatever you're grooving on right now. Here are mine:
Classical - David Garrett
Pagan - Damh the bard
Alt -Imagine Dragons
steampunk - Abney Park
older country that is pretty much my life (though the video is kinda disturbing... just listen to it)
ETA - nano -
Snippet - Gideon said. “On the bright side, you know your killer is a man.”
“I never even thought a woman could do this. Then again we never thought a woman could have murdered my father either,” Placid replied bitterly. “If we had a few more people might still be alive and Killingsworth wouldn't have gotten shot.”
“Most killers seem to be men. We are a dangerous lot,”” Gideon replied and Placid couldn’t imagine Gideon as dangerous. He supposed anyone could be. Certainly Winter, Reanna and Melantha could be dangerous women.

Your students... Lord, lord, lord. Of course, I saw an article today about how employers have TONS of jobs they'd love to fill, if only they could find QUALIFIED candidates amidst the 7.5% unemployed... :P

You know it doesn't surprise me. they have no work ethic. they want to show up when they want to in blue jeans and t-shirt, go home early and make enough to be retired by 35.
