insurance update

[kaigou]

I did, eventually -- once it turned out that completing the form was mandatory, sheesh -- fill out and send in the insurance form. And must say, highly displeased, too, at some of the information requested. (The purpose is for the company to get a quote on group insurance, I'm told, so they're asking about crap that normally HR wouldn't know and wouldn't see, and there's a damn good reason why, because it's none of their business.)

That pesky question... I was going to leave it blank. But after completing all the rest of their crap, I was pissed enough that I couldn't leave it as it. My favorite reply remains "my husband insisted on keeping his own name" but I figured any group of twits stupid enough to even ask the question in the first place are probably too stupid to get humor so subtle. So I went with my original idea.

If your last name is different from your spouse's, please explain: We're not from Kentucky.

Shades of 'You know you're a redneck if...'

Go you ^___^

You shouldn't have to justify it just because of your gender (men probably don't have to after all).

That's definitely the answer that question deserved (along with a raspberry, but those are hard to write). Further on the plus side, it might make some insurance company data gatherer, further down the line, laugh for a little while during his or her bleak day. (Though I do love that 'husband insisted on keeping his own name', that was a fantastic answer as well)

Let's hope that the person examining the document isn't either.

Ouch. As usual, you get the point.

Good on ya'.

Sigh... My sis keeps insisting that I need a passport, so I can go on trips with her. This is true; I do need one. Odd that, as a Navy brat, I never did need one, but Dad was never posted overseas. So, step one is sending for the legal copy of my marriage license, since I did change my name (opting for something people were less likely to mangle). Just got around to sending off the money order to the Clerk of the Court.

Should never have changed my name, dammit. This whole rigamarole wouldn't have been necessary.
