A Glimpse Into My Day

by Holly

Wow, we’ve fallen off the wagon, haven’t we??
I keep thinking of great things I want to post but most of them have a picture to go along with them. We don’t put our pictures on the computer and even if we did, I don’t know how to put them in the blog. Justin keeps forgetting, so… no posts.

So I thought I would bore you all with what my day has been like so far. I’ve committed to a renewed effort of focusing on work while at work and leaving the email and blog world till after 4 (this comes in handy since I work on a quota system!)

Anyway, I work for an insurance company, reviewing medical claims. We pull them up based on their aging status and priority in a program called Get Work. We look at the documentation for each claim in a program called Image, which has been scanned in to eliminate the paper trail. That background given, our inventory of backlogged claims has been mounting for weeks as the units that send us work have been cleaning house and sending us junk we shouldn’t even be seeing. Its bad enough that we’ve been asked for voluntary overtime, and if that doesn’t work, we’ll move on to mandatory overtime.

Sounds simple enough, right? No. Image hasn’t been working for the last 2 hours and we aren’t able to work at all. Its like I can hear the inventory count clicking and spinning out of control as we continue to get dumped on and can’t even defend ourselves! Aaagggghhh!!!!!

So that’s my day. How are you?

One Year Ago Today....

By Justin

Who knew what started as a post about stripper and striper fishing would turn into a whole year of fun. One year ago today was our first blog. Holly didn’t think she would enjoy it; now she is an avid reader. I figured we would have some drop outs along the way, I just didn’t think it would be all the boys. Maybe my blog New Year resolution will be to inspire some long lost friends to join in the community again. As any alcoholic would say, it is never too late to jump back on the band wagon.

A year later and the blog would read the same. I am leaving this afternoon for Twin Arrows. The weather looks perfect. Nice crisp 50 degree evenings and warm 70 degree days with a chance of rain mid week. As I am so often reminded, it doesn’t rain at Twin Arrows, it is just heavy dews.

Holly is using some of the great benefits of working for an airline and hopping on a plane to West Texas for the evening. She will fly right over me on her way to Amarillo. I am jealous that she gets to see the family; it has been since Christmas since we have seen them. That is a long time in Justin and Holly world.

So that is the update of the next week. Happy Blog-verseray to Us!
