$100 and 40 hours worth of classes to stay certified to do a job that pays <$10/hr. Does that seem right to you? I sometimes wish I didn't like being an EMT.

That's less than minimum wage here I do believe.

I just flew over to Oregon from Rome, and I'm having a time of it with jet lag. Such a time, in fact, that I just dreamt a handful of the stories from "In Our Time", and then they became video games right in front of me. Fucked up, man.

Rule #1 of working a front desk: don't answer the phone. Well, you have to - but trying to avoid it is the way to go. Everytime I answer the phone, something distinguished mentally-challenged happens. Case in point: I got cursed out today by an upset patient mad that we sent her a bill. She kept saying her dental insurance covered everything by 100%, and I'm sitting there looking at her dental insurance showing 50%.

"I'm covered at 100%, I work hard for my benefits. You don't tell me what I don't have"
"Ma'am I have your insurance information on my screen. Crowns are paid for at 50%, can I transfer you to the office manager?"
"No god dammit, I have 100% coverage. I'm not paying shit"

This happens every time we send out statements. Now, imo we could do this better. Right now we just send a statement that basically says "your balance is x" with a payment envelope attached. I keep saying it would make more sense to show all the procedures, dates, and prices listed on the statement but no one listens to me. Then they laugh as I get bitched out by customers $:-\$

Mupepe · « **Reply #3016 on:** August 17, 2010, 03:50:36 PM »

they probably dismiss it because people probably won't read that shit anyways. it will just give them more shit to get confused about saying "WHAT'S THIS CHARGE FOR 19.95!?" "ma'am that was antibiotics so you won't get an infection" "I DIDN'T ASK FOR THAT SHIT! I'M NOT PAYING FOR IT"

As distinguished mentally-challenged as it sounds, that's what they'll do.

My blood pressure is 130/91. Much much better compared to a few weeks ago, though still a little higher than it should be. At least it's stabilizing.

I also spent five hours at the DMV renewing my drivers my drivers license today. Fuck me.

Just got rail roaded by a patient upset we sent her a statement saying she had a balance of $11.15. Seriously. She didn't sound mad, but she sounded quite annoyed and didn't seem to be listening at all as I explained the situation. Then she started complaining about how this overdue $11.15 was going to ruin her credit report...which makes no sense at all. I told her she had nothing to worry about, explained the costs etc and she demanded we send her another statement detailing the charges.

smh.

super anti-spyware

Normally I'd say "they'll fix anything" but I just ran into something that owned both programs. This Security Suite virus shit. I've been trying to get it off my dad's laptop for the last week. Right now I'm re-installing Windows, the last option.

malwarebytes got rid of the security suite off mine. but maybe the security suite shit changed. but i did have to run it twice, it caught it in regular windows mode but the deletion didn't work, but it deleted it and it's completely gone after i did it in safe mode.

so, tomorrow I'm crossing the country to go to school in the city and I haven't been able to find a place yet. There is always a huge bum-rush for appartments and whatnot, so it's probably gonna be quite the struggle. I'm assuming I'll be able to sleep on a friend's couch, but last time I did that her room-mate twisted his panties pretty hard. And seeing as how I don't know how long I'll be without lodgings I'm thinking shit'll get hairy sooner rather than later.

$:-\$

Mupepe · « **Reply #3047 on:** August 20, 2010, 11:59:21 AM »

are you going to try to fuck her? sleep in her bed at least.

brob · « **Reply #3048 on:** August 20, 2010, 12:02:51 PM »

naw, the roomie is acting up because I have been with her before. She isn't really all that, so I'd rather have a place to sleep than risking that for some throw-away sex.

Mupepe · « **Reply #3049 on:** August 20, 2010, 12:04:25 PM »

is the roomie jealous or something? is he into her? if he starts bitching, talk shit in your underwear, or naked. No one wants to squab with a dude when his bare junk is so close. plus it will turn her on.

brob · « **Reply #3050 on:** August 20, 2010, 12:07:33 PM »

He's into her ya. He's going for the white knight angle though, so he's paying the rent and I don't really have much a foot-hold if I wanna bump heads.

Mupepe · « **Reply #3051 on:** August 20, 2010, 12:23:46 PM »

if he's playing the white knight angle he's probably a pussy. so he won't do anything to upset her. come out one day and be like "bro. BRO. seriously. that chick is insane. smell my fingers. BRO! are you listening? smell it"

"are you sure you got the right hole?"

"*smell your finger* *smell your other finger* oh. here you go bro. smell this one"

He won't

brob · « **Reply #3052 on:** August 20, 2010, 12:48:10 PM »

He's socially distinguished mentally-challenged and comically unattractive, but he isn't completely bitch-made. If I do my alpha-bro there will most likely be some tusslin'. Which I don't really mind, but I'd rather avoid it, at least as long as I'm sleeping there.

Mupepe · « **Reply #3053 on:** August 20, 2010, 01:07:45 PM »

do it on your last day then. then sit down and talk to him and say "bro, listen. your fingers could smell like this too. but you gotta stop being such a bitch ass punk. go in there and show her what your d can do to her v. no matter what she says" and hope he gets picked up for rape.
