I started a long rant last night, about the idiocy of my employer's insurance benefits department, and through some silly glitch, I lost the whole thing.

I've been employed in the same district, at the same school, for 7 years now. Some years have been better than others, but this year, messing with the stupid insurance people has been the icing on the cake.

Not only have they been complete idiots, and now jerks, they have managed to screw me out of nearly $2000, and are dragging their feet over the matter. Maybe I should get one of those lawyers that advertise on TV to deal with them? Maybe I should call the state insurance board, since not only are they refusing to process a claim on my son's orthodontics that they should cover, but they are refusing to allow me to cover my children through our insurance, even though I have FINALLY received the documentation that they were covered on insurance and that coverage has been cancelled. It is NOT my fault that the other insurance cancelled the policy effective March 14th but didn't notify me that the policy had been cancelled until April 25th!

I think this may finally be the "door opening", the signal to get out of this particular district. I'll put up with a lot when it comes to people messing ME over, but when you start messing my kids over... that's the last straw! I have more than enough sick days left this year to go out and interview or whatever, in fact, I'll end up losing about 15 sick days that I have accumulated... oh well. I can go to another nearby district, make nearly as much, or more than I make now, the insurance will probably be a LOT cheaper, and I can get coverage effective in August, instead of having to wait for enrollment changes here to take effect in January.

Oh well... in the long run, it's their loss (the school district's). Sure, they can find another teacher to fill my position, but it won't be one with the same amount of experience and the same credentials.

So God, if this is the sign I'd always been asking for.... I think I finally got it!
