New Job Drama

Who ever came up with the idea of apartment hunting should be shot...repeatedly. Landlords (and ladies) should come to me, begging me to take their fabulous apartments!!

Same goes with changing all the legal/medical shite that goes along with moving to a new job. My new health insurance won't kick in for a couple months, leaving me with no coverage unless I:

#1: Choose to go with COBRA (which is looking more like a pain in the arse than anything else...and expensive...I have to basically continue what I was paying for insurance, $40 every two weeks, plus what my job was paying and I don't know how much that was but I'm pretty sure it's a substantial sum)

#2: Paying out of pocket or

#3: Getting my own private health insurance (which will probably be just as expensive as COBRA, judging by the research I have done on it). Good God, now I know why so many American's don't have health insurance...it's highway robbery!! The private insurance quotes I was getting were in the $300-400 range...for a MONTH!!! Yikes!!

Though it would suck to pay out of pocket especially if something bad happens. Lord knows that I haven't had to go to the doctor or ER in years, but I also know how Murphy's Law works. Once I choose to wing it without insurance, everything in my body will go kaput, and probably all on the same day!!

So, this is my rant for the day. But as hectic and problematic as all this stuff is, it gets my closer to my love so I am more than happy to deal with it! :)
