My aunt's Pet scan came back.

She has stage 4 lung cancer with metastases in her brain. She is only 62 and I am very close with her.

I talked to my mom just now to find out the results, as I was afraid to call her at work, for fear of breaking down or upsetting her more. She didn't even call my parents until 7 tonight, and she had her appointment at 12:30. I had to go to work.

I am sick.

I'm so sorry, TM. That's horrible. *hugs tight*

We may not even have a year.

=(

((((((((TM)))))))))

I'm so pissed!!

I go to the doctor and use my insurance card - no problem at all.
Go to the pharmacy to fill a prescription from said doctor and they say my insurance was canceled in 2007. They are holding in their hand the card that says expiration date 12/10.
I call the insurance company, they say I haven't had insurance since 2007. I ask how is it that it works for the doctor and just where is the deduction going out of my paycheck every 2 weeks.

"Sorry ma'am, I don't know" AND THE PISS HANGS UP ON ME!!!

Not to make light of your situation, but this comment just aboot made me piss my pants.

BWAA HAA HAA HAA HAA!!!!

Sorry to hear aboot the insurance, though. Good luck!

*sends happy thoughts and luck to bingo*

glad I gave you a giggle :)

GAH!

(I feel better now)

I need to get a job. I'm running out of ideas. I don't want to drive a cab but it looks like i might have to.

I don't wanna get shot :/

Do you live in a dangerous city? I had a boyfriend once who drove cab, it's a crappy job.
What skills ya got?

CDL Class B with passenger endorsement; two years experience professional driving
6 months experience with dispatching/management/payroll

Savannah's not as god-awful horrible as some places, but it's still pretty bad.

Only 23 so i have a decent resume for a kid my age, but still :/

Well, I'm sending good luck your way.

The good thing about being North is that darkness isn't a big deal for medivac flights. The good thing about tonight's medivac is that it wasn't a life-threatening injury.

I'm in this thread because I'm frustrated with the attitude our "hosts" are giving us towards this (and everything). We're 4 hours from a hospital if everything cooperates, and another 2-4 to a facility that can adequately handle emergencies. Everything here needs to be treated as a "real" emergency, and the luckily the law says so, too. So while this might not be a "real" medical emergency to the people who are grumbling and acting snitty right now, we are potentially risking someone's life and us going to jail, even if the guy's okay, if we don't medivac at first light, or before dark if possible.

/tired rant.

I'm way too tired. I think my hair is full of smooshed mosquitoes. The stupid German woman took the cookies.

The Canadian medical system is an absolute farce. A farce, I tell you. When Obama is elected, you can all look forward to the US attaining the same pitifully low standards of care that we have.

Give 'em all an angry Yorkie to the balls!

Since when do banks close at f**king 4pm? GRRR!!! *kicks stuff*

Stoopid staff phoning in sick leaving me all alone at work for 10 hours with no lunch. TWATS!

An email arrived mid afternoon informing me that the power to my building will be off tomorrow, starting ~7:30 am, lasting 3-6 hours. Nice lead time, kids.

On the plus side...this means I'll be working from home for 3-6 hours tomorrow. Woot!

Which leads to my second complaint...I wish there was a way to convince email providers that it's ok to let a file type through. Yes, I'm aware of the potential threat, but if I APPROVE of the content, and can verify that it's EXPECTED...Let me have my durned attachment!!!1!!

My back hurts and I am fed up with being in pain!
