What a horrible, absolutely rotten, day at work. I cried, literally, at my desk. Some of you might remember that Research Assist where the pharmacy is insisting they should be paid? I sent proof the beneficiary was admitted to the hospital and that the pharmacy would have to submit to receive payment from the proper Medicare carrier. Now they’re coming back and saying that’s not valid; the patient was never there.

I’m like, EXCUSE ME? What the he…? Do you think I hired a forger?

Can you believe that? I have emailed the situation to the adjudication team to see if they have encountered this before. I have run out of options. If Adjudication has nothing, then the next thing this pharmacy will need to do to get their $38.00 is file a Congressional Inquiry. Yeah, bring it up to your congressman or woman.

This whole business made me cry and then my tummy got queasy. Either the stress is getting to me or I’m getting sick. Could be either one. I drank my last cup of this and I did feel a little better. I don’t hate my job (although I did toy briefly with the idea of putting in my notice) but some days it’s just not worth the stress. I’m switching now from tea to booze.

I’m sorry. That sounds like a truly rotten day. I’m glad the tea helped, and I hope whatever you’re drinking now is helping, too. <3

Ugh, the American “health care system” makes me crazy and sad. Sorry you’re having to deal with all this stupidity. Hope tomorrow is a better day!

OMGsrsly

D: That sounds terrible. Here’s hoping tomorrow is better, and that the booze is tasty. :)

I love cats. I love alone time. I love sitting indoors on a cold winter night with a book or my knitting while drinking tea. I don’t have a sense of smell, so many of the more subtle flavors of tea escape me. Two of the things I CAN taste are bitter and sour, so any tea that has even a slightly bitter taste is nasty for me. And what others might perceive as pleasant tartness may be horribly sour for me.

I’m also a writer. I love writing, and a mug of hot tea helps me get through the hours sitting in front of the computer. Although I’m a comparatively new tea drinker, I’m jumping in feet first. Feel free to recommend any teas you think I might enjoy.

100-91 – Wowza! I want to keep this tea in the cupboard all the time.
75-90 – Very nice. It would be good to have this tea on hand from time to time.
60-74 – OK. Wouldn’t keep it in the cupboard, but I would drink it again.
45-59 – If a friend served this I would drink it to be polite, but it’s not really my cuppa.
Lower than 45 – Blech. It was too sour or bitter for my taste. Would not drink it again.
