kaigou1. Payroll calling me about filing insurance paperwork by EOD today. See #2.
2. The cable modem died last night in the wee hours.
3. Payroll calling to tell me to fax it, then. No landline. See also #2.
4. Two conference calls, and two deadlines tomorrow.
5. Coworker asking if I'll email the doc. See also #2.
6. Seventeen minutes and thirty-eight seconds on hold. See also #2.
7. I require chocolate. See all of the above.
8. An 18-yr old twit who not only said, "and that will open the black box," (to which I said, "ah, yes, more often known as the command line,") but also insisted on spelling out config and telling me what it meant. Listen, honey, I was fucking configging while your parents were still making eyes at each other in sophomore-year History class, got that?
Strangely, all that, before eleven in the morning..and I didn't even have a chance for caffeine before it'd all begun. So by the time I realized payroll's insurance form had squeaked in before the modem died last night, I was already beyond caring when I read through the one-page PDF. The usual, this info, that info, blah blah blah, until... If your last name is different from your spouse's, please explain.
Seriously, what the fuck?
I am sorely tempted to write, because we're not from Kentucky.

Date: 30 Mar 2007 04:04 am (UTC)I don't think I've ever had anyone, for any reason, ask me to explain why I don't have the same name as a spouse. I've had plenty that's said, "if not the same as spouse's name, please list spouse's" and even more that don't even bother with the "if" -- it just requests both names.
Which is pretty ridiculous considering a) I don't even have any info on how much this insurance plan might/will cost me, b) I don't know if I'll bother depending on the contract's playout, and c) I bloody well wouldn't be insuring CP anyway -- he's got insurance through school!
