Games belong on sports fields or tables. I absolutely abhor games. I was brought up that manipulating people is disrespectful and just plain wrong.

The one girl I work with plays games. Our job description is cleaning cars, we get $3 more an hour than drivers do because it is harder work in less than pleasant conditions. She will do everything possible to get to do customer pick ups and drop offs, including taking 45 minutes to clean a car. She claims she's tired, that's why she's slow, because it is so hard to work open to close. But that's the schedule she wanted, and tried to force the rest of the car cleaners to accommodate. Really tired of it, but don't know what to do.

This week my doctor recommended genetic testing due to the prevalence of a specific cancer in one side of my family. The doctor told me to call the lab and they could look up my insurance to see if the specific test is covered. So I did, only to be told that the lab can't do that, but what they can do is call me after the blood is drawn (and costs have been incurred) if it will be more than $375. So I called my insurance, to be told I had to refer to my husband's company's plan document. Called HR to get that, guess what? The rep I was talking to said I should call the insurance. He didn't get why I was mad at the run-around and games. All this I can't give you this information, this person can, but when you contact that person they refer you back to the first person/company? Arg!

On top of all that, we still have the cable/phone company saga. The cable company had to replace their cable because it rusted through. In doing so they cut through the phone line to our home. Well today, we found they didn't properly bury the cable anyways, as the boy ran over it with the lawn mower. So more blame game there too.
