Biggie and I played hard this morning. Real hard. So hard that even before lunch, he went back to the bedroom to sack out and has been there ever since (it's mid afternoon now). I made quiche for lunch. It wasn't my best. I think I cooked it too long. But it was a single (tart) so no bad leftovers.

I ate the last of the latest batch of ginger cookies. I need to make more and quit eating them so they last longer.

I saw on Twitter that the LA Dodger pitcher had a perfect game going so I turned on MLB.TV to watch. I get really down on our announcers. We have 4. I really like 1 and really hate 1 and the other two are mostly just meh. But, I think what I need is to listen to another broadcast - like the Dodger game. Those guys are horrible. Horrible. I like our guys much better now.

When my brother was here, we dropped off my serrated bread knife for sharpening. The place just called to say it was ready. I think I'll go get it tomorrow. I actually haven't even missed it. It's a good knife but, apparently, I don't use it that often.

I got a benefits statement from Humana today that says the $117 charged by the doctor's office was covered (and it was from my annual exam and not even the dermatologist). It took me some calculator time to figure it out but I did. I called the doctor's office and lo and behold, I found THE most annoying hold time ever. Every 30 seconds a very annoying little girl voice comes on to say that if I want them to call me back press 1. I finally did - just to shut the bitch up. That was an hour ago. Not a peep. I'm thinking this might be a daily exercise. Or maybe I should just call every 30 minutes and request a call back - it could screw up their system.

I'm screwing with my Dreamwidth theme again. I have it set so that every journal/comment page/etc comes up in my style, but I'm guessing from comments that most people do not. So I'm being very picky until I get it just exactly the way I want my stuff presented. Also time to fill what I wait for the damn phone to ring.

grrrrrr

You should *totally* call every 30 minutes and push 1 to schedule a call back. It will TOTALLY fill up their queue :D

The downside is that if they do eventually get to you - I don't believe the agent has any way to cancel the other scheduled calls in the queue - so they would just keep calling you back. (My brother's company writes callback software and he's never indicated that the agents can manage the queue in any way)

I have my DW set up that I see everything in my own theme as well!

i didn't do the every 30 min thing but i also still have not heard back. i may do it tomorrow. i could always just turn my phone to silent and let it go to voicemail :)

I have mine set so that everything comes up in my own style, and I have done for years. I think I did back on LJ, too. The main reason being that my eyesight is pretty poor and I was finding some people's personal styles almost unreadable, especially back when LJ was much more active and filled with out-there fandom accounts. Now I see everything in the frankly pretty dull style I use myself. It's not thrilling, but I can actually read it without hurting my eyes! :)
