I know I have been complaining about work lately, and being sleepy and all, but I am getting very frustrated with work (Job#1). I work for the same educational foundation as my mom and she just recently took some time off so that she could take my little sister to Hunstville and get her all settled in her new apartment. Well today is Tuesday and I still dont have any work to do because she is behind and hasn't sent me the work I need to do. See my work is in direct correlation with her work. She is in charge of certain things per chapter and I am in charge of certain things per chapter...the thing that sucks is that I can not complete my tasks until hers are finished. See the problem?
Job #2 has been going much better, I am still learning how to stay awake during the day, but I have learned some tricks:
1. Never go on the route without some sort of snack in the car....for some reason my blood sugar levels will drop dramatically at the drop of a hat, which makes me feel like I will vomit at any moment.
2. Always bring something to drink...water, green tea, red bull, 5 hour energy...although you shouldn't drink the energy drinks halfway through the route...those are strictly to be used as you are arriving at the warehouse!
3. Because there are no stores open or even available at my route....bringing a bit of toilet paper isn't a bad idea!
4. An Ipod does wonders while at the warehouse! Rolling the papers in a non-air conditioned warehouse, full of mosquitos, and no one to talk to can be extremely boring, thus slowing you down and making you even more sleepy!
5. Bring OFF! Mosquitos are horrible, and I cant afford to get West Nile....I am paranoid about West Nile because my mom's best friend got it two years ago and her immune system is still lacking!
Unrelated...I am searching for health insurance right now, I am ashamed to say that I have gone without for 2 months now... I have never gone without health insurance before, because my parents have always made sure that I have had it. I have no idea what I am doing, these people are trying to expain this to me and I dont know what they are talking about...deductibles, co-pays, contracted rates....This is the one time in my life that I would like for them to speak to me like I am a child....go very slow, and explain in detail! Not to mention that I talked to two companies that do the underwriting for insurance companies...they both reccommended the same insurance company to me...except on person told me that I could not continue to be covered for my birth control, but that for an extra 12.56 per month I can get maternity coverage...for Logan and I it will be about 200.00 per month. THe other person tells me it will be 162.00 per month, it will still cover my birth control and I can add Maternity but he reccomends waiting until I actually need it because it will be an extra 200.00 per month. Now, if this is the same insurance company, why am I being told two different things??? Both recommend that I do the contracted rate plan, which means that I will not have a co-pay...when I go to the doctor, I give my insurance card and they bill the insurance company...then a couple of weeks later, the insurance company bills me what they pay which according to the people on the phone shouldn't be more than 50$. Which isn't bad since I may only go to the doctor twice a year...but what about Logan, and his immunizations? I go to the doctor every three months for my shot...what if it really doesn't cover my shot? HOw can I be sure until I am there at the doctors office ready to get it and the receptionist says, "oh, you insurance doesn't cover this" then what the hell do I do? This is very frustrating!

There is no reason why the insurance company should not be able to tell you if your specific birth control is covered or not. It either is or it isn't. I don't know what to tell you about which company though. Does JR's work offer insurance? If so, you could put Logan on that and then just worry about finding something for yourself...
Hey Sara, I noticed in your tricks for work you also take an energy shot. I do the same before work and it works wonders!
Have you tried 6 Hour Power? Their energy shots come in 5 different flavors (I like to sometimes have a different flavor for every day of the week). They provide long-lasting energy without the crash, and help enhance concentration. Check it out: www.6hrpower.com
By the way, I hope you don't mind me commenting on your post. I work with 6 Hour Power, so feel free to shoot me an e-mail if you have any questions about the drink itself or where to get it. Also, I wish you good luck with the health insurance coverage... it can certainly be a pain.
