New Journal, and the Dilemma of the Day

[featherynscale]

For interested parties, my new HR journal will be at thejobfairy. There's nothing there yet, but soon there will be. I will try to update on Fridays, or whenever something Really Stupid happens. The Job Fairy will need an icon, too, so if you have any grand ideas, I'd like to hear them.

I made the new journal as one of the advertising-sponsored ones, mostly to see what it would look like. In case you were wondering, the plus-level layout is majorly intrusive and annoying. I don't expect that I'll be spending a lot of time logged into that account, except when I'm updating. There's only one ad on that page. The aggregator view of entries has a box ad on the top, a bar with sponsored searches underneath and a sidebar, which contains a picture ad and a number of text ads. All of the text ads on this one are "Hot Stock Tip!" ads. Ick. Anyway, I'm not paying out for another journal, so I suppose I'll have to live with it.

In other news of things I have to live with, I took the last of my synthroid today. Now, I get 90 days of the stuff at the time, and as of right now, I have no medical insurance. That means that 90 days of synthroid will run me about $85. If I can hold off without meds for 14 days, I will have my new insurance in place, and the scrip will be infinitely cheaper (I think, anyway. Having not gone through this company before, it is hard to say whether the pills will be covered at all, and if so, at what rate). I suppose I should have counted my pills and anticipated this, and budgeted to buy new pills at the sorry bastard with no insurance rate. Or something. Maybe if I call the pharmacy, they could sell me two weeks worth of pills instead of the whole 90-day scrip. We'll see.

You also might check with the Doc and see if they have some sample packs at the office. Yes the pharmacy will sell you two weeks worth at the retail price. In that vein, Wally World has the best prices on meds as well.

I bet they'll do two weeks. Hell, they did that for birth control pills for me, as well as when I was conducting my Paxil Project.

1)ditto what Terry said.
2)by law, they are required to give you at least 3 days supply, although I'm not sure on the small print, adammaker can probably give you the right info on that. I only know because I had to do it myself a few times.
3)What dosage are you on these days?

Or you could ask your local synthroid hookup.

I've got to go to the pharmacy tomorrow anyway to get the scrip my optometrist gave me filled, and it'd be most easy to refill my synthroid while I'm there. It's not like I've taken any for the past two months, anyway.

I don't know that it'd be for your new Journal, but I made this for you thinking it to be an excellent work related icon. Enjoy!

Not sure if this is what you were going for, or if it will be helpful, but your new journal inspired me to do the avoidance thing create a doll:
