Wow CG, that is a lot of people!

I work for the U.S. Navy as a Public Affairs Officer and cover the southeastern United States, Cuba and other parts of the Caribbean. Mostly internal communication - the media issues get crazy every once in a while though. Lot's of fun!

I work as an A/R Supervisor doing business to business collections. Not the break your kneecaps kind, working with hospitals and doctors and other medical professionals getting them to pay their bills. I absolutely LOVE it because I work with customers in 53 countries, get to practice my Spanish from time to time. I love working with Ministries of Health, the World Health Organization, military facilities, etc.

It's funny because my company accredits hospitals and medical facilities all over the world and most U.S. hospitals use us. So when I go to the hospital or urgent care, etc. they take my insurance info and ask where I work, as soon as they see that they get very nervous... Little do they know I am in finance so I wouldn't know the first thing about whether they are following the standards. They make sure they take really good care of me!

I work for an asset mgmt firm running the shareholder servicing team. We manage our company Pension & 401k & manage $ for others, including mutual funds. My team services the mutual fund shareholders. Been w/ my company my whole career! Have had many different roles, though.

CG - I was a compliance officer for 5 yrs before I took this job (for the same firm). Only left because I was asked to take the job I have currently.

I am a high school English teacher. Yes, I cram Shakespeare and prepositions down the throats of grumpy teenagers all day, and I love it!

I have had what seems like a million jobs, I was in the Air Force for a few years, but I don't think I will ever have another. I found what I am good at and I'm sticking to it.

At present I am a household technician, meaning housewife. In the past, when you still used a pencil and an appt book I worked for 3 OB-GYN's. Also worked in Geriatrics. I went from new to old.

Now I'm old and retired. But not so old that I don't ride my own Harley & drive a fast car.lol My grandson thinks I'm the coolest!

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
