GodDamn my ass hurts. It's b/c I've been sitting on an old cusion...
Called OWCP today and found out the proper way to request a new one. Seems I have to get an Rx from my doctor, then fax it to ACS (the payment / billing folk for OWCP) then wait up to 3 days for the authorisation. (sp?)
Cource it would have been nice for that nice lady at OWCP to call me back Monday and tell me such... Instead, I get to lose 2 days in the process and prolly have to wait till next monday to get the OK.
So much for "emergency replacement". Good thing I'm not bleeding....It's OK tho... I've been working on a letter these past weeks since they shut down my request for some help around the house. It *should* clear things up once and for all.
Admin note- My Mom comes down and cleans the olace sometimes, and while I appreciate it, I wish she wouldn't. She's got way better things to do than clean my house. When you're as old as she is you should spend your time doing fun things, not cleaning up after me & the ferrets. That's a job for a paid cleaning lady.
Anyway, like I said, this letter's gonna pretty much put the smack down. I'm tired of getting the run-around from these people. Office A says "You need to call Office B" So I call. Office B tells me to call Office A, rinse, lather, repeat. When I finally nail a human down, I need some piece of paper or something. A perscription for a cusion? Give Me A Freakin' Break. Especially when without one I am in danger of getting a pressure sore almost immediately. It's in the process of happening.. That's y my ass hurts.
Depending on the reply, I may or may not send both my letter & the reply from OWCP to The Secretary of Agriculture, the Director of the Forest Service, Senator Feinstein, The Rangers on the Plumas and Daniel Boone N.F.'s, and every Hotshot Superintendant in the buisness, as well as posting all the goods at Wildland Fire .com.

In case you hadn't noticed, I'm a little tired of getting bent over by some damn desk-jockey who hasn't read my freakin' file.

I've had some passionflowers bloom in the last few days- Here's some pics. Some I left as BIG hi-rez files suitable for desktop wallpaper or some such. Feel free to take them and use them as you wish- I release the copyright on them.

Transmit has been giving me all kinds of trouble... It took about 10 tries to get all of the above images up on the net. I dunno how many times I got the "Could Not Upload Item! Server Closed Connection" warning / popup thingy. Which hops in front of whatever else I'm doing, stealing "focus" so if I'n typing (for example) the text stops showing up in the file I was typing and instead goes into the digital land of lost sox or something. Gone.
