… and I feel rotten.

It was stashed in my desk for times when my BG levels take a dive. That doesn’t happen too often but when it does it wreaks havok on me. I didn’t need to eat it today. I just saw it there, ate a couple pieces then mindlessly ate more. It was a stupid move and now I will pay for it. Hello high bg levels.

I’m in a funk anyway today. We had an incredibly stressful weekend involving some serious extended family issues, and today was spent dealing with more medical bills, dental bills, and insurance companies. On top of that, my car insurance company was going to cancel us because our agent didn’t do his job.

When we got the notices about our policies were mad at the insurance company itself. It turns out our anger was misplaced. I simply had to find someone else to do my agent’s job for him. It took all of five minutes to resolve. It was something he should have done back in February and I’m now searching for another agent. His negligence almost cost us a much much bigger headache. He’s been our agent for almost 10 years, so you’d think he wouldn’t drop the ball on such loyal customers?

I don’t know how insurance agents get paid but I’m sure it’s on some sort of commission or bonus system. The more insurance they sell you the better their paychecks? I have no clue. I just know that *he* requested information from us in February to avoid any issues, which I promptly provided. He just didn’t submit the info I provided. I don’t understand how he could let something so simple cause us to lose ALL three of our policies we have with him? Especially when the agent I contacted and emailed the information to had it resolved in MINUTES.

Somewhere in dealing with all this crap, I guess I felt I needed the candy to comfort me. I did stop before I ate the whole bag. So there’s that. Now to read about futures brokers.. because I’m off work now, done dealing with stupid medical billing specialists and insurance companies, and just need something mind numbing to occupy the time until Jack gets home that doesn’t involve eating candy.
