With many Foxtrot/World of Warquest comics. Turns out he has a degree in physics. I was wondering where he got all those references.

Words escape me. This is definitely made in the 60's, and it is every bit as bad (if not worse) as Shatner singing Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds or Mister Tambourine Man.

The university announced early this year that the health insurance would switch from the university to be covered under the state's plan. Same insurer, different coverage, but everyone had to re-enroll. So Russet took care of that back in May or so. New plan goes into effect September 1. So we were expecting our insurance cards mid/late August.

End of August arrives, cards do not.

Russ does a little poking around while she's in Ohio and finds that we are not enrolled.

She gets back here, does more poking, finds out that the astronomy department secretary is also not enrolled, and she had an emergency appendectomy during this period.

This is looking increasingly uncomfortable. Overall, we're both pretty healthy people, but Russ has five prescriptions that are filled on a monthly basis, and one or two of them could be skipped temporarily, but two of them are nigh unto critical and are also expensive.

Today we caught a break. Russ called the main campus office and was told that if she came down to Las Cruces and did paperwork, we could be enrolled. Otherwise we were looking at December for the next open enrollment date! Sounds to me like there were more than us and the dept secretary whose enrollments were eaten by the system...

So it looks like we're covered, though there's no telling when we'll get our cards. We've been told that if we need medical care, we just tell them to call the provider for confirmation.


The only down side was that the baba ganoudj with an extra order of pita bread was accidently left at the restaurant in 'Cruces, so I shall be without the treat that I was so looking forward to! *sigh & cry* ;-)

Good & Bad

The good is that we're back to unrestricted hours working at school, as long as we keep 'em under 38 or 39.

The bad is the reason. There are two full-time employees, and two half-time (19 hour) employees. I'm one of the latter. One of the former was told by his doctor to take a week off. It seems that he has dangerously high levels of lipids and triglycerides, as in imminent heart attack levels of the two.

The thing that I find slightly unnerving is that he's two years younger than me! It's hard to believe that I have a healthy diet, but at least it's healthier than his. I've always had good blood work, the only bad thing is that my good cholesterol is on the low side. Maybe I should develop a taste for red wine.
