A small bright spark

There was one good thing about yesterday - I discovered that the local grocery store, Jewel, sells Krispy Kreme doughnuts.

Woohoo!

Fun with a rash

So had no fun last night with the company paid-for health scheme - J had a rash and we wanted some advice, so we called up the 24 hour emergency advice line and was refused service. "But my company is paying for this?!?"    "We don't have any record of you in our system - contact your HR department - we won't help you"

Nothing like being in a foreign country, at night, needing medical assistance and being refused it. Not happy with my employer today.

We ended up getting advice from people who would normally have charged for it, but hearing our sob story of being Australians in the US for only 24 hours, they helped us without cost. J is ok, might still need to see a doctor, but that's easier to do during the day.
