This last week of the year is always brutal. Last year we sold 83 cars in 5 days. We've done that in 4 this year. It's like 5 busy Saturdays. 20-25 cars a day. By 5pm, I'm tired. By 10, I'm getting silly. Work sleep work sleep work sleep. Party.

I went to pick up a prescription where if I see another customer at the drug counter it's unusual. Today I had to wait behind 7 people. The girl told me it's the end of the year and it's always nuts. People wait until after Christmas because they have other shit to do, but something about insurance, they want them before the 1st.

Yeah, deductibles start over again, health savings cash goes in the toilet--there are several reasons why you might want to get in before Jan. 1st.

YES. my deductible just fucking doubled. I'm not happy. My premium is $20 less, but now it's a $5000 deductible for tier 1 providers and $6000 for tier 2, where it was just straight $3000 the last 2 years. fuck health care

Yeah, the calendar year deductible is a huge deal. I contemplated getting a bunch of stuff done because I'm so close to meeting my deductible this year. But I just couldn't get around to scheduling anything.

Other than the $5 co-pay for visits, I think there's a step thing for drugs, but I never pay more than a couple bucks for any of the six prescriptions. The Insulin is about $30 or $35, and the needles are $13, if I remember. Oh, and testing supplies are a little more than the scrips.

That leaves me enough to by heroin on the street, and get those pre-pubescent girls in the schoolyard to do my bidding. OK, that was a lie, they're at least 16. :lol2:

Heh... I just had an appointment with my eye doctor, and they did some slightly unusual stuff so he warned me that it was going to end up on my medical insurance rather than my vision. I said no big deal, our out-of-pocket is met so it doesn't matter to me one way or the other. He noted that must be nice, his family never hit theirs because it was super high, like $5000... and I said, yeah, so is ours. These days we hit it around August or September, but in our worst year we made it by early April.

Which means, in the grand scheme of things, I'm the one insurance is really for, and you guys are all helping to pay for my kids. Huzzah!

And by contrast, it's 8:50 new year's eve and I'm in bed. Nother 12 hour day today but i can sleep in til 6 tomorrow! Been a long time sunce i did t stay up til midnight, but NYE lost it's appeal for me when i had the stroke and now i have no desire to hurry time so fuckit, i'mm'a sleep :)

I'm going to bed soon.
