OH Rocky!

Last night Megan and I went to see 'Rocky Horror Picture Show' with Megan's Mom and her Mom's friend Nancy. We had a blast! I loved seeing all the drag queens dressed up as the characters. It was great! Tickets were $28 and to be honest I think that was a little steep. I think it should have been more like $10-15. We got to do the time warp and it was great! Frank-n-furter was HOT!

Boring Weekend

This weekend was so boring. Saturday night I went to my friend's Halloween party but it sucked. I was only there 15 mins and I was bored out of my mind. I didn't fit in with the crowd of people that were there. I only knew a few of the people and no one else was really talking to Mike and I so I jetted. We met up with Emmy and Shawna and Paul at 51. It was fun. I got drunk after two beers and one glass of wine. We participated in some karokee and we sang "Total Eclipse of the Heart", "Shadows of the Night", and something else but I can't remember it. Then Sunday I had to work. So yeah...it sucked.

Okay Ass!

Today I had a patient come through who was already grumpy because he had to wait 18 mins to get to me, so he was not in the best of moods. The minuet he sits down he makes a comment that was something along the lines of him having to wait another 45 mins or some shit like that. So anyways this man wasn't even at my desk for 5 mins. I start to take him back to out patient surgery when he says " Are the girls in registration fat, or is it just you?" I laughed and just told him that I try. Then he goes on to say that my face is better looking that the last girl who registered him. Today I learned I am fat but I have a pretty face. lol

HELP!! (Attack of the Bird Lady)

My husband last night reminded me of this great story to tell you guys.

A couple of months ago this lady came into our hospital. She came running into registration and starting talking really loudly. And I sit in this cubby hole that they call an office and all I could hear was this loud squawking outside so I went out front to see what was going on. That is when I met the "Bird Lady". If you ever seen 'Kids In The Hall' you know the skit they do with the bird lady well anyways this lady looked just like the bird lady from 'kids in the hall'. So she kept shaking her head around which was making her wig slide to the front it was hilarious. In her loudest voice she could manage without actually yelling she points to her pelvis and says " I am late for my pelvic exam." So one of the rep's out front start to get the patient in the computer. The bird lady is wearing a teal mini skirt with black pantyhose and red shoes, I apologize, I don't remember what color her shirt was. Her wig is this dirty dishwater blonde wig that's short and curly just like the bird lady on 'Kids In The Hall'. She just keeps pointing at her pelvis saying she needs to have her pelvic exam and ultrasound. The Bird Lady was one of my favorite patients of all time.

???

I really miss our love being new.
I remember how good it was at first.
Love is beautiful at her debut.
It's so fragile and needs to be nursed.

At first,I took great care of our love.
I devoted all my time and effort to it.
It was going well, I thought that was enough.
I forgot to keep love's flame lit.

I am still very much in love with you,
It's just on a different level.
The butterflies are gone and it's no longer new.
These feelings I have make me devil.

God I Love My Job

As an insurance verifier, it's my job to go in and "pre" the account. What I do is call the insurance company make sure the patient has benefits through them and find out their deductibles, co-insurance,and out of pockets for the year. Then I go in and look up the CPT (procedure being done) and price the surgery. Well apparently people think this is an easy job. Well not so much! First of all most of the time when I go into an account there is no info in the account. Usually the surgery schedules puts in the notes "NO INFO AVAIL". Then I have to hunt down the fax the doctor sent and that's when I see the doctor gave us the patients, address,ssn,phone number,insurance info, sometimes the doctor has already gotten pre-cert for us and everything. Usually on this sheet I can find CPT and ICD9 codes. That's how I price the surgery. In the event that there are no CPT codes then I just have to hunt down the price, which can take a while. So sometimes it sucks. But the girls out on the front line don't seem to understand this. They just think I am sitting in here surfin' the 'net and singing along with the radio...don't worry I do plenty of singin'. LMAO.

So anyways there was an account that I tried to pre yesterday but I couldn't because we had no info at all. I didn't have the patients phone number and the doctor's office was closed for Columbus Day. So I went ahead and priced the account as a self pay account. I even put notes in the account explaining this to the representative. That way in the morning when the girls on the front line got the patient they would know what was going on. (at least I though). One of our new girls got the patient and it took her and hour and 10 mins to call her insurance company and get the benefits and figure out the contract rate for that patients insurance company. Then she wants to go and try to blame it on me....Hello.. dumbass I put everything in the notes. All you had to is get the damn benefits. I swear..fucking idiots.

okay sorry I had to vent....

The Weekend

Well this weekend was pretty much uneventful. Friday night I had to work at my second job till close, so I didn't get out till 9:45 or so. I was suppose to go hang out with my friend but I was tired as hell so I just went home and passed out. Saturday I worked at the second job till 4 and then I went home and got ready and then we went to my Mom's and she took us out to eat and to see the Grand Opening of Old Time Pottery. I wasn't that impressed but I couldn't really look cuz my Mom was with me and she only likes to look at certain items. So..yeah. Then after that we went to our friends house for a party. It was fun. It was cold outside though. I was upset cuz I never did get drunk so I just sat around and watched TV. On Sunday we went to my in-law's house and then to my Mom's for dinner. That's it kids. A whole lot of nothing.

Didn't I Just Hear That Fucking Song?

Okay so the girls at work and I listen to the radio during our work day. Our radio sucks and we can only get like two stations. So we often listen to 106.9 K-HITS. Let me just say this station plays the same damn 5 songs all freakin' day. It's so annoying. I mean really, would it hurt them to branch out a little and play something different? It's so annoying. I cannot stand that Black Eye Pea's song "My Lumps" or whatever it's called. Its' so freakin' annoying. And they play that song about every 5th song. It makes me want to throw the radio out the window. I hate it.

Saturday Sucked!

Saturday I drove 2 hours down to Norman so I could party with my friends. Sarah lives in Norman cuz she is going to OU and Bobbi,Roland,Candi,Harold,Emmy,and Paul were all going down there for the game and then to Sarah's to party. So I was real pumped and looking forward to it. Mike and I get there and everyone is still stuck in traffic at the game so we waited for like 30 mins only to discover that the door to Sarah's apartment wasn't even locked. Bobbi, Roland,Candi,and Harold walked from the stadium and beat everyone back to the apartment. So we sat down and started drinking. Shortly after everyone got there they ordered pizza and let me just say the pizza sucked but the cheesy bread was awesome!

So Sarah's brother, Paul, is a loser. He is a drug addict and a lush. He apparently started drinking and then became belligerent. He started ordering Sarah around and she lost it. She locked herself in her closet and was just crying. So I tried to comfort her but I am not really sure if it helped or not. Then Bobbi,Roland,Candi,and Harold left. So Mike and I decided to head home too. I drove 4 hours for 2 hours of hanging out with my friends. That is stupid and it sucked. So Fuck You Paul! Thanks for fucking shit up as usual.

Blonde's Have More Fun

So Thursday I dyed my hair "espresso". It's a dark brown with red highlights. It's pretty, I am just not use to it. Laura chose the color for me and I think she did a great job. I also cut my hair. It's kind of like Nicole Richie's bob thing she has going on. It's falls to my collar bone and then we cut the bangs at an angle so they frame my face. It's cute, I just have to get use to it. So far everyone besides my Mom loves it.

Thursday I also went to the fair with my Mom and Rayus. We saw Nemo on Ice. It was pretty good. The costumes were black light reflective. They looked really good. Rayus loved it. I must say the concessions were way over prices. A bag of cotton candy was $10 as was a snow cone and popcorn. Then they had these Nemo light things that were $18. It was pretty damn ridiculous. But my Mom being the softie she is bought Rayus a snow cone and popcorn. Then after the ice capades we walked around the fair. Rayus was upset because he was too little to ride the rides. He was about two inches too short.
