askye at 07:28pm on 11/09/2007Damnit! LJ just delete everything I typed.
I have to find a new job. I don't have a choice, my health insurance premium is going up by over $100/mth starting next month. Thanks for the warning there guys.
I wish I could call them up and talk them out of this. Or that I was taking generic meds.
I'm going to call NAMI tomorrow and see if they have suggestions.
I'm looking at job listings but 99% of the listing I'm qualified for don't include a starting salary or even a salary range much less a list of benefits. Some do say benefits. How do I pick a job like that? Just send in a resume, hope for an interview and then while I'm there ask about money and benefits, or is that something you wait until a second interview? I don't know.
I should have known this was going to happen. Well I was expecting it, but not this much.
The temp agency I'm with has insurance but it doesn't cover mental health, that's the first thing I checked.
This just made my shitty day worse. I could really benefit from some national health care. And you know, I saw an argument the other day -- long waits for medical care! except the care isn't exactly snappy around here. I mean, a lady who works at company I'm temping at has the same HMO as I do (only in a group plan) and has to have shoulder surgery of some kind. She's had it looked at and they said it would be Jan at the earliest should could have surgery.
I'm so depressed I may not even stay awake for Eureka. I may just double up on my meds and go to sleep early.

Though, except for Saskatchewan, there are no provincial drug plans for the vast majority. That needs to change.
