bureaucracy, healthcare, mh (~)
Blerrrrrrgh. Been nervous all day about dealing with the healthcare.gov bureaucracy again. Finally got up the nerve to suspend work for a bit and call.
I'd give this attempt a B, maybe a B+. They assured me that they're going to escalate this to an expedited second review of my documents and someone should get back to me "soon." They had no information about what order of magnitude this "soon" is, but at least they had the decency to admit it and be apologetic about it.
Also, apparently my documentation deadline is now extended to end of July, any insurance that I do get during that month can be made retroactive to July 1st, and the CSR was at least sympathetic when I told her I really could not accept a month-long coverage gap.
So I'm waiting again, and maybe this time I'll finally find out what's actually holding things up? At least the information they've given me is starting to line up, though given I've had to call SIX TIMES now to push things along, maybe it's just matching up 'cause the sample set is getting so big. >___<

In general, I'm just full of anxiety and spinning around and flailing today. The insurance stuff is the only remotely scary thing I can think of right now—everything is just existential dread—so I guess I'm gonna do my best to chalk it up to another brain malfunction.
It would just be nice to have a way to force the alarm console to clear, you know? Nobody left me the keys to this damn thing.
On the other hand, Peg's been a paragon of reptilian patience and calm, while I've been running around flailing like Kermit hunting for Crazy Harry. I owe her a whole lot of petting.
