Mar. 8th, 2007 02:29 pmMY PRINTER WORKS AGAIN. \o/
The nozzles were badly clogged, so I got this special cleaning solution, and after three applications, finally started to see some progress. And then I got a paper jam. And that was when I learned that there is no way of accessing the back side of the rollers of an Epson Stylus short of taking the entire printer apart. (Which I'm sure they did on purpose. >_>) But, with 2 pairs of specially shaped tweezers, 1 hand shoved down the paper feed slot, and 90 minutes of wrestling with it (literally), I finally got the paper out. x__x My hand is so bruised now.
And then my garbage disposal broke. By which I mean, anything that goes down the kitchen sink, half of it comes back out the bottom of the disposal. x________________x
I got my hospital bill today, and saw that I was overcharged a few hundred dollars. So I called my health insurance's "customer service". NO HELP AT ALL. The first woman I talked to tried to tell me that my deductible didn't count towards my out-of-pocket maximum. I don't know what orifice she pulled that bullshit out of, because their definition of "out-of-pocket maximum" is, when deductible + copays = certain amount, you don't pay anymore. So I spoke to someone else, and she agreed that the other woman was full of crack, but couldn't figure out where the problem was, and therefore tried to tell me that I wasn't being overcharged. I was the one who had to pull up the .pdf of my printed explanation of benefits, which just happened to mention that they made another $500 payment to the hospital on that claim. This was mentioned NOWHERE on my online explanation of benefits. I swear, I've never met anyone who works in or with the health insurance industry who actually understands how it works.
GAH.
Good thing Back to the Future OSTs are love.
