Dawn's Digression.
Friday, September 12, 2003
The comment Dawn left is an idea. I could screw up the employee's paycheck and then she'd have to come over here and talk to us. Hmm.
No, I just can't do that. Wouldn't be prudent.
Why don't I live in Canada? I hear health care is free there. Is this true? And it's legal for gay people to get married? Plus, it's purdy and cool? Is this right?
I think our benefits here at work will be going up monumentally this year. I work at a Fortune 500 company, and we are actually on the list of employers with the best benefits, but with the rising cost of health care there is really no choice but to raise the costs for employees. Part of the problem with our health care system is that people don't pay attention to how much they spend at the doctor. Because it doesn't come out of their pockets. Same thing with prescription drugs. I'm thinking instead of the cool $6 co-pay I have for drugs now that it may go to a percentage instead. Which really stinks for people with a bunch of prescriptions.
I stubbed my toe in the bathtub this morning. I stifled my screams since Michele was still sleeping. Now I have gimpy toe. It's the baby toe on my right foot. It didn't bleed, so it doesn't count.
Did I tell you I got TWO new packages of underwear? I did. One package was those new hipster style. I dig them. They are also the seamless type. Very comfy. The other package I got while Michele was in DC, and I don't like them as well because they give me wedgies sometimes. They're weekend wear.
I got new chapstick, too! I got caramel apple and regular. Unfortunately, I washed the Cherry, but the Bubblegum is fine. The coconut is hanging in there, too. I also found a missing chapstick in one of my purse-bags yesterday. I said, "Ah-HA! There you are, my pretty!" You should see this bag. It is atrocious. It's a jungle bag. Got lions and giraffes on it. I use it to put stuff in when I come to work and my purse won't hold everything. Which is most days because my current purse is too small. But I don't like big purses because then I feel frumpy. I need no help in the frumpy department.

Hey, do you want to see how I'm doing my hair? I'm showing you anyway.
You may or may not have noticed I never put pictures in here anymore. Truthfully, I hate doing it because I have no S.Kills in the computer department anymore. I hate having to upload stuff. Plus, I haven't used the digital camera in forever. I'm ticked off because my burner won't work, so I can't burn pictures onto CD. And my computer is so slow, I hate to store them on the computer. And sure, I could store stuff on diskettes. IF my A drive worked. But it doesn't. I hate my computer. It's a piece.
I am panicking about my tan lines. I am full panic mode. I'm going to look stupid.
