blackicebobaI woke up after about three hours with a sore throat and a runny nose. Took a Sudafed, although I suspect it's a long running ear infection that I can't do anything about until I have actual health insurance.
So while I was up I used my GoodRx membership to make an appointment for my covid and flu shots. It's gonna be like $120 but I will be protected. I go next Wednesday.
My coworker told me last night another coworker was looking at the insurance information and that it's cheaper for the insurance if you're full time. So she stopped me and was like "hey, talk to (manager) about getting you coded as full time so it's cheaper for you." Cause I guess other coworker also said something about them making her full-time so she could get the insurance for cheaper cause she went 'You have seniority, so if they do it for anyone, it should be for you." Also my team lead had already said something about it if I needed to be put on full time for the insurance she would help me figure out how to do that.
So I said something to my manager while ANOTHER manager was also in the office.
And my manager went "I know there is a difference, but I don't know what it is, because when I started as part time I only covered myself and when I went to full time I was on the family plan because (husband) wasn't working at the time" He paused and went. "That's a question for (HR) manager. I would call her when she's in on Thursday and see what she can do about it. I know we usually only have leads as full-time even if you're doing the hours."
The other manager in the office went, "If you're full-time you have to have full availability."
And I went, "Okay but. . .what does that mean? I already work forty hours a week."
And my manager went, "For you it's just a coding situation. They'd just change your status. Get with (HR manager) and see what she says." Like the way the other manager (who I like a lot!) said it was kind of snotty like "well, you'd have to be here all the time" cause the way my manager cut in was very like "let me handle it."
So I need to do that on Thursday. We're supposed to get paperwork/information about prices and things in the mail and it might have arrived already because I didn't check the mail when I got home. Actually worried that even the full-time amount might be outside my budget but if I have time before it kicks in I can have SOME money saved up for it.
I also started taking some over the counter like acid reducer meds to see if that helps my stomach because I am constantly sick. Only to learn that you have to take it for like four days before I'll notice a difference, but. . .at least now I have it and hopefully it will help. I'm tired of feeling like crap all the time for one reason or another. I know some of it is getting older, but also come on. I'm trying to do things so I don't have to keep missing work.
Can't pay bills/for yaoi if I don't have the money.
