Well, my first week on quasi-unemployment went without hitch or event other than I had a miserable case of the flu. Gabe was home from preschool all week, proving that Columbus Children's Hospital records department is an inept, illiterate group of fucks. How hard is it to process a form and fill out the requested information? These people even have a designated extension that you must utilize if you are requesting form completion and medical information from the records department. You can't get to speak to a real person - ever.

Oh I will be so glad when Dr. Frantz is back from maternity leave and settled into her new practice and the kids can be moved out of Children's ineffectual and inefficient system.

Cincinnati Children's Hospital is another matter entirely. Thankfully for frustrated parents and caregivers, it is only a couple of hours down the interstate from here. When I was doing medically-fragile pediatrics, I didn't hesitate to recommend to my parents that, though Columbus Children's may be the "only game in town," it is not the only option for treatment or for a second opinion.

The guy is back in class. I'm sort of bummed that I didn't even get one day of his time to myself during his break from school. With him moving at the end of this month, it should prove interesting. He has class Monday through Thursday and works Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I told him I would help him move, and he made apologies for his cultural attitude that moving was a man's job and decorating the house, the woman's. So, I suppose it will be a couple of days of me and the fat baby unpacking and putting things in order. Well, me doing that and the fat baby being entertained with DVDs and video games while I unpack.

I'm hoping the job listings have something worthwhile posted tomorrow. Well, something that I would be interested in doing, at any rate.
