Its a Marshmellow World in the Winter

We go about a bajillion inches of snow last week. It was awesome. We didnt go sledding but I definitely put the truck in 4x4. I thought I had more to say about this but apparently I dont.

Going Rogue

I quit my main job yesterday. In just under 2 weeks I will no longer be employed as a mechanic. Ill be delivering pizzas full time now rather then doing it to supplement the lack of mechanics work. Now Ill be turning wrenches to supplement so if you need any work done let me know.

The primary reason I quit was lack of income. I was able to make up for it driving Friday and Saturday night but yesterday I was told that Id have to be available those nights so I quit. Jaime and I had already talked about the possibility of me quiting and I had made sure I could work full time at The Village.

The only thing Im worried about is insurance. We might be able to get insurance through Jaimes work and shes also looking into MI Child for Jack. Honestly weve been pretty frustrated with my insurance so Im not entirely sad to see it go. Jack went in for his 1 year check up and vaccinations a couple months ago. We got the statement from the insurance company and the total cost was $468 of which they covered just over $55. I was furious. We pay over $3,200 a year for coverage on Jack and I and thats what we get? Fuck that. This was all routine stuff. Nothing fancy or unnecessary. Hopefully congress will get health insurance all straightened out, but thats another post.

In the end Im happy with the decision and am excited to be delivering again. If you know anyone looking to get rid of a TDI VW Golf or Rabbit let me know.

I ate too much and the Lions lost. It must be Thanksgiving. Hope yours was good.

ER

I just spent 25 minutes on the phone to have Jaime added to my insurance. The majority of the time was spent listening to some smooth jazz while on hold. Im pretty sure I only talked to a person for about 64 seconds.

I dont know what socialized health care would mean for me. But I cant imagine it could be worse. What Id like to see is government provided preventative health care. Every year, say during your birthday month, youd be able to go to the doctor and have a complete check up done. Twice a year youd be able to go to the dentist and have a cleaning and x-rays. Routine vaccinations would be covered. Basically, anything that most doctors recommend you do to prevent yourself from getting sick should be covered by some government sponsored health care.  I really dont know much more about it all other then Im tired of paying thousands of dollars a year for coverage for my family and then also having to turn around and pay hundreds more in deductables and copays just to get simple checkups done.

Bowling Stories

The latest craze at work is to call your coworker a midget. It all started one day when Dan and I were working and...
...and thats why the whole shop now call each other midgets.

I was picking up a delicious pizza the other day and my old manager was there...
...and thats how I came to deliver pizzas a couple nights a week again.

There I was, balls...

I was sitting at the computer...
...Isnt it funny what pets will do?

Gotta Catch em All

Im pretty sure I have a problem. The problem is that I cant have enough friends on Facebook. Its gotten to the point that Ill approve someone who I dont remember if asked to be friends.
