No More.... Posted: 02-12-07 12:20pm
...Health insurance. Got a letter from my
employeer stating that I don't qualify for
family medical leave and I will no longer
have health insurance. This is harsh when
you can't work for a very long time. My
husband makes two hundred over the maximum
to get any insurance aid of any kind...We
looked into it. Living in wa state is
impossible with one income.
Also, my work wrote me a letter stating
that I am insubordinate because I
continued to work from home after them
telling me not to (legally purposes). I
only had a few things to finish up. It
wasn't direct insubordination; it was
doing what I had to do to prepare for the
next person taking my place.
I went to school for nine long years, got
a nice chunk of student loans and now I
will have this in my file which could
potentially ruin my career. I worked my
butt off.
They are hiring for my position right now.
The school I worked at did like me at
least. I am sure I can get some good
recommendations from them.
What am I going to find out next?? I feel
like I am in this horrible horror soap
opera!!

I have no idea. We will have to come up
with money for insurance. My family may
have to step in. Someone just told me
about basic health but I don't know the
income requirements. I probably won't
qualify for that either. My husband also
works for another school district and
since we are not in open enrollment, he
can't just add me.
I just can't believe my employer. I
worked so hard at this job and they just
spit me out. This makes me feel like
nothing - absolutely nothing. How much
crap can a person go through in a few
months time??
I am just waiting for something else to
fall. Just waiting for some more bad news
somewhere....I did something wrong at my
job, someone is sick, my son continues to
get worse with crying and maybe something
else is wrong with him.....Horrible
thinking. How can I be extremely happy.
My husband dropped out of a phd program at
ohio state last year for us to come back
home to be near family. He went through
a depression episode as well. Now we
can't even live near family because it's
too expensive in this place or there are a
lack of jobs in some cheaper areas. So
much more happen in our lives last year.
So much more.
I am usually a very social happy person.
I guess this is what it feel like to go
through major depression. I am not
without reason. I just hope my husband
will keep his job.

I'm sorry, karin. It really does seem
like one bad thing after another. I'm
going to think positively and hope that
the next thing to happen will be something
great.

I am too dang honest to do that.
However, that statement may not be far
from the truth. With the way everything
is headed, that could be what happens.
Send me more of that lottery dust. I am
hoping publishers clearing house comes to
my door on feb 28th.
This nice labtop provided by my school
goes back today or tomorrow as well. It's
so nice to just type where I want.

I'm sorry you're having such a hard go of
it. I know exactly how you feel. I'm
feeling a bit down myself lately
(understatement). Do they have chip in
wa? Maybe you qualify for that? Or
bcbs? They have some low cost health
insurance available as well. It
supremely sucks to be without health
insurance. That's a feeling that I know
well as well. Can you get medical just
for your children (your son and your
unborn)? Sometimes that's a way to work
it. They usually have a higher income
limit for pregnant women though....
Corporate america blows. They treat
mothers like lepers. And health
insurance is a mother. Maybe I will move
to canada. *beep* the us where moms are
treated like trash and expected to work
70+ hour weeks for chicken feed pay and
still raise normal, well-adjusted
children!!! Okay, rant over!
