silver_chipmunkWoke up around 10:00 but dozed and dwadled in bed til 12:00 then got up and had breakfast. I put in a small Shipt order, and had coffee, an then got to work on the rider paperwork.
The HR department email with the forms arrived this morning so I downloaded them and tried to print them. Somehow my printer had got disconnected from the computer again, and I had to reconnect it. Then it printed fine.
Somewhere around then my Shipt order was delivered and I put it away.
I started filling out the form, and ran across some things I didn't know. First to figure out was what insurance plan I actually had. I tried to get to my company online, had to do a forgot username and redo password, which took a LOT longer than it should have, and a LOT more effort. But I finally ascertained what I have.
Then the actual date of my divorce. My lord. I knew it was 2012, but the day? Fortunately I have been doing journalling since 2005 so I went back to June 2012 (I knew it was in summer) and skimmed entries til I found it. July 27 if you wat to go see.
Then there was the question of my pension ID number. I have no idea where I can even find that. The pension comes direct deposit, it's not like there's a check or any paperwork that might have it. I called HR again and asked. They were able to look it up for me thankfully.
Then I asked where I should submit the form, and she asked if I wanted to email it. I said yes, but to give me the real address as well, just in case so she did. She sent me an encrypted email that I could use to email the forms back as files.
So I tried to do that. It didn't work on my phone, I kept getting error messages. So I had to use my email on the computer, and download pictures of the forms and submit them that way. But that worked. It was fairly late by that time, 4:40. I will call tomorrow to make sure they got there safely.
But that was that. Now they just need to be processed, and sent to the insurance company.
I took a shower and dressed then, and went and picked up my laundry. I brought it back and put it in my room and put the cart away and went to J's Confection for another celebratory milkshake, strawberry this time.
While I was there the Kid called. She is fine. I told her what was going on.
Then I came home and Teamed the FWiB at 7:00 as usual. We talked til 8:00 when I had my D&D game.
The game was very good, we were all there, and it was fun. We killed ghouls.
Then I had dinner and fed the pets, and started here.
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB.
2. I got the forms.
3. Helpful people.
4. I submitted the forms.
5. My gaming group.
6. The Kid called.
