The envelope we have been waiting for arrived today - we are going to pay off my credit card and then I will get a debit card - I’m just too - ummmm - spontaneous? in my money decisions otherwise. Ahem.
So Mr Beloved had to call TheAuthorityWhichControlsYourLife because - hey, we are poor cripples, and TheAuthorityWhichControlsYourLife doesn’t LIKE us to have any money. Especially not money that suddenly appears in the same bank account as where they pay our pensions.
He lucked onto THE most helpful faceless droid EVAH - I mean, she was AMAZING! Helped us get a new pittance allowance to go towards internet/phone costs, talked us through updating some details, was generally very helpful, and then - took down all my details and a statement to go on file so that the Bad Rude Horrible Faceless Droid who upset me so much on Monday won’t get away with it.
Bloody ASTONISHING! As he usually does, Mr Beloved made sure to tell the Good Faceless Droid that we wanted to let her supervisor know how wonderful she had been, and she said that they appreciated feedback, good or bad.
WOW.
ANd now I’m going to my sewing room, to prepare for the Toowoomba Quilters Strip Party. I have to be at the hospital at 7 am (ugh!) and not eat for 4 hours before then, not drink for 2. Is it even worth going to bed when I have to be up again by 5?

Good luck with the medical procedure! Also, I’m glad the lady at the AuthorityWhichControlsYourLife was nice and genuinely helpful. There are a few good eggs out there, it seems.

Dear Caity and Mr B,
Sometimes, miracles do happen. It’s nice to know that there are SOME good staff left at the organisation!
It’s really good that you did the right thing in letting her supervisor know.
I hope the procedure goes well.
Take care of yourselves.
Love
Annie

Thanks, Tanya. As always the worst part is leaving the !*#)(*$ cannula in the crook of your arm until JUST before you’re allowed to go home. I like it much better when they stick it in my hand…
But apart from that small whinge, I’m going ok. Very sore, but trying to do what the doctor ordered. Facet joint injections make the problems flare up again for a few days, but hopefully after that the pain settles down for a good long while….

Dear Annie,
Yep - though we were both SO surprised, I have to say! Mr B is a big believer in giving praise where it’s due - we’ve worked thankless faceless droid jobs ourselves.
Procedure was ok - I’m counting down the minutes to my next lot of painkillers, though!
