Hatred, it poisons my soul.

So, let's take a look at the last 24 hours, shall we?

* Botched a test I should have had no problem with.
* Registration wasn't working right for most of the day, and so too several miscellaneous other student-related services, leading to even more Duh than usual.
* Plans for the evening fell through (though I sort of expected that).
* Once again experienced shopping Fail due to a continued lack of a god. damned. dry. erase. marker.
* Shiny new power supply does not make computer boot up. Seems to be a fried motherboard or CPU.
* Discovered that, even standing on the bed, I can't reach the ceiling, making it exceedingly difficult to install hooks.
* Cannot find any place to stash the contents of the last three boxes, nor my picnic basket, and I am completely hacked off with continually tripping over/around them--and now there is power supply impedimentia, too.
* Opened mail accumulated while away, found letter postmarked May 1 telling me that "due to a change in [my] membership status", my health coverage was being terminated March 1. There is so much WTF in this, I don't know where to start. And I can't do anything about it til tomorrow, therefore have no outlet for rage.

Next Thurs may not be good; not sure yet. Otherwise, a lovely notion.

You're benefits are through your current job, right? The whole thing is most likely a bureaucratic error, but I deal with employment and benefits stuff almost everyday and there is a whole lot of stupid in benefit issues. In the unlikely event that your coverage WAS terminated, based on some arbitrary job classification change or something your company would be in lots and lots of trouble for not informing you. Especially because, if your coverage ended on March 1, you would have been working, without coverage for over two months, which is a liability issue for your employer and they don't like those.

They are indeed through my job, and my title hasn't changed. I'm quite sure that our HR sock puppets have done something that's idiotic even by their usual standards; the main question is how much time and stomach acid will be wasted trying to fix it. (PLZ COME WORK HERE WE NEED SOMEONE SMART IN THAT DEPARTMENT) (There was one person, but she left, and I don't blame her.)

haha, HR people are generally really, really dumb. I don't actually work in HR; I work in the Employment Law Group, which means its our job to make sure HR DOES NOT FUCK UP AND BREAK LAWS BECAUSE THEN IT IS VERY, VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX.
It shouldn't take that much to fix, and they should be the ones to take the time to fix it, not you. Do not call your health insurance company. Let the benefits person at your company do it. If, for whatever reason, they did terminate your benefits, when you're are making them fix it, make sure you demand that the fix be retroactive, especially because the lapse in coverage is over 60 days. And get it in writing.

Yup, I work with Benefits and Employment Law too. Let me know if you need help. As for ceiling hooks, don't you know a certain redhead who is tall enough and ever-willing to please you? If drinks are the answer, just send out the cry for companions.
