  Today has been no fun at all so far. Talked to AFLAC. My employer still hasn’t sent them the “employer form”. So although I filed my claim on APRIL 26TH they still haven’t processed it. I sent them a nasty letter. I officially hate AFLAC. I tried to call my employer to find out what’s going on (because I’m pretty sure she would’ve sent the paperwork) and she’s not in today.
That sucks. So then I called EDD about the Paid Family Leave that I’m supposed to be getting, that was supposed to take effect on July 8th, and they had “too many callers” and hung up on me. I’m supposed to get 6 additional weeks of paid family leave to stay home with my baby, BUT I HAVEN’T GOTTEN A CHECK YET AND MY SIX WEEKS ARE UP. Punks. So, in light of all these recent monetary set backs, our cell phones got turned off. And our cable. And our long distance. And our house phone. Yipee! I got the house line and long distance turned back on, and it looks like I’m going to have to cash out my 401K to get the cells turned back on. Cable can suck my toe. Marissa watches too much t.v. anyway, and I don’t watch it hardly ever, so it’s not a big deal. I was starting to have serious reservations about home-schooling Marissa, and then she told me, “I WANT to go to public school.” Okay.
That’s fine. So in order to get her registered I have to schedule a physical for her, and make sure her shot record is updated, and bring in a utility bill, and her birth certificate. School starts September 9th, so we have a little while yet. I just hope there isn’t a huge list of supplies that she’ll need. It’s so hot that I’m sweating like a stuck pig who is sweating bullets. I’m sweating so much that my sweat is sweating. Yesterday we broke down and ran the air conditioner (the thermostat said it was 90 degrees inside).
I had the air set up so that it would shut off at 80 degrees. It never shut off. So,we’re packing our bags and moving to Antarctica. (and did I mention that Marissa and I had the oh-so-bright idea of baking cookies today? Which means pre-heating the oven? You know, that contraption that can pretty much warm the house by itself in winter? Yup. We’re obviously not the smartest people to ever walk this earth. ) How much is airfare to Antarctica?
