Today
may finally be the day when my wife, Arlynda, loses her job as a claims
processor for [United Healthcare]. Be
assured that it has been a long time possibly coming. In fact, she has been on “final warning”
status several times since last January on account of her own steadily
declining health condition, but the company kept allowing her
(naturally-speaking, of course) to move to a different team that was assigned a
different task in the process, which would start the clock all over again. So, regardless of just how much the powers
that be at the company are truly aware of the part that they have been playing
in our Heavenly Father’s plans for us, they certainly cannot be held in any
disdain over expecting their employees to perform at a certain level.
Anyway,
United Healthcare has been paying for our internet connection since they let
her start working from home, and with the service actually being in their name,
along with consideration being given to the sensitivity of the information she
regularly handles, I fully expect our connection to be severed very soon (if
not immediately) upon the completion of the final determination of her employment
status, which could come at any time during the next few hours. Needless to say, with me being such a
wonderful person in every way, shape and form, I did not want to leave any of
you wondering what may have happened after noticing that I have stopped
publishing “stuff.” Hence, the reason
for this rather melodramatic notification.
No,
I do not expect to be offline for very long, but considering the fact that
customer satisfaction is as high on [Mediacom’s] list of corporate priorities as
it is on most of the other cable companies’ lists, it may take several days
before they get over here to set things up again. Ironically, this will actually be saving us a
bunch of money. For as we are getting
another internet connection in our name again, we will be also putting our
cable television service in our name again.
Alas, it is a long stupid story about how we came to have to put it in
Arlynda’s mother’s name when we first moved to where we have been living for
the last six years or so, but suffice to say that we will all be very happy to
finally be able to get it straightened out…we hope.
Yeah,
I may have done went and really lost my mind this time. For the change in our cable service is not
the only thing that I am actually looking forward to. For I have got it in my head that Arlynda
will be allowed and enabled to make it fairly big in the blogosphere, along
with some other possible avenues for financial income opening up for us to
travel.
Nonetheless,
it is going to be some very tough sledding for at least a little while. For aside from what little [S.S.I.] provides
us, we will be losing our own health insurance, and I am most definitely not
looking forward to becoming so personally acquainted with what [Obamacare] has
to offer so soon. Still…

Well, I don’t know
what to tell you. For she participated
in the scheduled phone conference with her bosses and the rest of the team she
is currently on, and after it was over, which is when she expected her main
boss to break the news, nothing was said either way. So, I will keep on keeping on until someone
has the plug pulled.
Morning After
Maureen McGovern
There's got to be a
morning after
If we can hold on
through the night
We have a chance to
find the sunshine
Let's keep on
lookin’ for the light
Oh can't you see
the morning after
It's waiting right
outside the storm
Why don't we cross
the bridge together
And find a place
that's safe and warm
It's not too late
We should be giving
Only with love can
we climb
It's not too late
Not while we're
living
Let's put our hands
out in time
There's got to be a
morning after
We're moving closer
to the shore
I know we'll be
there by tomorrow
And we'll escape
the darkness
We won't be
searchin’ anymore
There's got to be a
morning after
There's got to be a
morning after
There's got to be a
morning after
There's got to be a
morning after
There's got to be a
morning after
There's got to be a
morning after
There's got to be a
morning after
There's got to be a
morning after
There's got to be a
morning after
There's got to be a
morning after
There’s got to be a
morning after

Wow; that is really intense, Jerry. I appreciate your positive attitude and I hope that it all works out for you and your wife.
ReplyDeleteI will miss you - but I WILL be here when you get back. Oh did I tell you - I HATE the cable companies. lol
ReplyDeleteWell if you have any problems with customer service I will gladly send Duke to take care of them. He says he would be happy to put the bite on them free of charge because he's not worried about bringing home the bacon.
ReplyDeleteSeriously though, I do hope you won't be MIA for long and I wish you both all the best.
Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Sandra!!! Be assured that my positive attitude could certainly use some shoring up. For as is conveyed in the update I just put up, we are hanging in the wind right now.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by again, my dear Adullamite!!! Be assured that I am beyond exasperation as of the moment.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by again, my dear Sandie!!! We would sure be a lot happier if AT&T U-verse and Verizon's BIOS was available here.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by again, my dear Ann!!! I do believe that Duke would be quite helpful with Arlynda's dealings with her bosses, as well.
