I had United Healthcare coverage in another job. My copay was $40 and they denied claims for my family and cost me a few thousand dollars. I now have Premera Blue Cross, my copay is $15, and they haven’t denied any claims.

I never answer those honestly because I hear managers saying things like β€œonly five people in our team have filled out the survey so far and it’s important that we all do so we can get an honest assessment.” Okay, if it’s anonymous, how do you know how many people in our specific team filled it out?

Why does every single pick read like the exact opposite of a qualified candidate?

I crushed a spider ten times more than I probably had to today after I found it crawling up my leg.

I think the lion that Elphaba saved in Wicked is the cowardly lion that later accompanies Dorothy.

I mean, a 14th century themed wedding service could be a great way to capitalize on your impressive talents.

Made it one more revolution around the sun. Why does it feel like I’m on a collision course with an asteroid belt?

I would go with B in this case so that the curves match and make me feel like I still have some small control over a chaotic universe ultimately destined for utter entropy.

Okay now I realized that we writers need to get to work, we need works that inspire people to realize they can make it through dystopian times and come out stronger!
