Hi Jinx

Josh and I were talking about our Internet footprints today, and I made the flip remark, "You and I remember Geocities!" Then he told me that his old page is still online! Geocities has never deleted his account. You can visit Old Vasconia and relive the days of yore, complete with Josh's really horrible spelling. Seriously. He spells "defenseless" with a C.
In other ridiculously happy news, I received a refund check today for the insurance fees I paid for COBRA. After I explained to the firm's accountant that my coverage didn't extend outside of Illinois, except for emergency care, they found a way to refund me! I don't know if they'll be getting the money from BCBS or if they just felt sorry for me because I am poor and crazy, but either way, I got the check today! When I deposit the check, I will double my checking account. I am not exaggerating. This is a completely factual statement. Double my current checking account. Oh, you cannot know how happy this makes me. Finally beating Oblivion's main quest? Finishing Deathly Hallows? Seeing Brian Krakow all growed up on Lifetime? This joy is greater than all of those. I hate money, but I love the freedom you can buy with it.
Of course, speaking of freedom, I should report that my co-worker, the fellow who works the 11-7 shift during the week, is either
A.) Having the worst month of his life or
B.) Making up excuses to get me to work for him
One Sunday night two weeks ago, as you might remember, he was stuck out of town. Then again the next Sunday night, he was stuck in Virginia. (Now, if I were going to be stuck in Virginia, I would know about it more than two hours before I was due to be at work, but hey, that's just me.) Tonight, I got a call saying that he had been in a car accident and totaled his car. Calling in with three emergencies in two weeks... Shady shady.
Update: He called me around 2am, asked me how I was, and if I needed for him to come in and relieve me. I told him no, it was fine, I'd stay. He managed to mention the fact that it was his friend's car that he crashed. I could not help but think, How convenient. On the other hand, why would he have called and offered to come in? I think he made up the Virginia thing, but I don't know whether the car accident is real or imaginary.
I don't really care whether he's making up these excuses or if they are true, I need the money. I would have preferred a little more notice, but hey... maybe he had stuff come up, the kind of stuff that doesn't make a good excuse to call in to work. Maybe he suddenly realized at the last minute that there was a "Girlfriends" marathon on BET and thought, "Eh... that Kellie girl has no life... She won't mind." Which is pretty much accurate.
