 |  I've maxed out. Closed this blog. |

This is a way of making myself write something coherent and grammatically correct almost every day. I'm opinionated and need an outlet. I'm also prone to flights of fancy. Thanks for stopping by. |
| It's amazing how staring at a computer for long periods of time can wear you out. I've been leading employees through open enrollment for next year's insurance. You would think more of them would be computer savvy, but most have come to me to do it for them. IT's a slow tedious process, and I have to make the same speeches over and over. I carry eye drops with me to help my tired eyes. I stand up just to let the blood flow occasionally. I am working overtime, but the only exercise I'm getting is running 5 blocks to the bus in the morning, and walking from building to building several times a day and going up steep stairs to get people who can't leave their work areas long. Then when I get home, I'm writing my story and reading email.I'm exhausted way before my regular bedtime. I wake up tired. I yawn all day. Only a few more days, and the enrollment will be over. That's a little scary, because I'm no where near through the whole list of names. I hate for them to miss the opportunity. On the other hand I've had people change their minds several times. One lady had me redo hers six times, and print new papers. One woman broke down crying because insurance is so expensive. The price increase for 2015 is bigger than the raise they got in 2014. She's worried about how she's going to handle that much out of her paycheck and still buy medicine and pay rent. Others, even with babies, can't get assistance because they're working. It does seem like working people are penalized. The ones who help themselves don't get any breaks. After Monday, I swear I'm going to start exercising again. I won't be working as much. I'll still be writing. I'll be cleaning house and cooking. I'll be sleeping, too. |
