More Troubles, Surprise Surprise!

Last weekend, we received four medical bills totaling $530. Two of them must have idiots working for them because they claimed that they did not have the right insurance information for both Scott and I even though when I had my stint in the ER, somebody was kind enough to come and bother me when I was panicking over not being able to breath well and photo copy both of my insurance cards. The other facility apparently dropped the ball on billing us (as they usually do because they are one of those insta-care places that that probably overworked and underpaid) and didn't forward our insurance information onto the third party collection agency. So, that is one more thing to add to my schedule of having to remember to follow up on.

Then, I get an email from my financial aid counselor who says that I owe the school an out-of-pocket expense, even though I'm taking out school loans up the wazoo. So, I can't start my next class until I pay that and I'm sorry, but I am saving the money that we have to cover our mortgage payment in case Scott is out of work for awhile longer. I'm slowly becoming unhappy with my school. The closer I get to completing my degree, the more crap I seem to get dealt with them.

Thanks for letting me vent. Now I am going to do something mindless and not feel guilty about it!
