Blue Cross Blue Shield refund

My feelings for health insurance companies are about as low as they can get. I’ve long been disgusted by their arbitrary rate hikes and discriminatory pricing. So imagine my joy when we received a hefty refund from BCBS for their having overcharged us in the past. The North Carolina Department of Insurance discovered the overcharging and demanded BCBS refund the money to its customers.

I wonder what other hidden charges insurance companies are padding their revenues with? I wouldn’t be at all surprised if this wasn’t the only case of these companies blatantly gouging the public.

Staying busy

Wow, what a week. Working in sales this time of year is keeping me busy, with at least two big proposals going on simultaneously. I’ve been gathering (and disseminating) as much info as I can about the burglars in the neighborhood. And I’ve had meetings and parties to go to, too.

Last night I worked feverishly at the end of my work day to fix some networking issues. Then Travis and I spent some time putting our Christmas tree together. We had to drop what we were doing to head over to the Conn PTA holiday party (which was great fun, I might add). I left early from the party to attend the New Bern Avenue Corridor Study Workshop at Milner Memorial Presbyterian Church. Returning home around 8:30, I had more networking issues to work out so that Kelly could make a phone call to Guam for her work.

Tomorrow promises to be busy, too, but fun things. My big-ticket things to do include taking Travis for a bonus two-hour tennis lesson, during which I plan to play a few matches of tennis myself. Then I head up to north Raleigh to help with trash pick-up on portion of Baileywick Road adopted in honor of my friend Gerry Reid. I scoot from there over to Brier Creek where we bought dining room furniture Wednesday night. I will be picking up the last of the furniture from the seller and hauling it back home.

Sure, I’ve got a lot going on but life is pretty darn good. Work is busy but it’s all good. I am very lucky to be where I am, without a doubt.
