Day #10

Today was definitely one of my better days.

Woke up to an email from the boyfriend about an ad for a graphic designer his mom found in the paper. Went ahead and emailed my resume in. Fingers crossed! It's an actual graphic design job.

Got ready and ran out the door to get to my optometrist appointment, calling the HR lady from my old job as I drove...Apparently, I come up as being under Davis Vision for my insurance, and wonderful Davis Vision does not cover materials (frames and lenses), just the exam. However, the paper work I had received on my first day at my job said that I was covered for everything...so I knew I needed to call and get this all straightened out. The HR lady didn't get back to me til after the exam, but it turns out I'm not under Davis...I'm under Spectera, and they cover everything. So now I just need to call them, explain the situation, and mail in the claim.

The good news is (or awesome news, really) I have new glasses! I was expecting them to have to send them out and wait for a week or so, but they happened to have what I needed in stock...and so, I drove home with my new specs! They were also having a very awesome sale, so even though my 'fake' insurance didn't cover it, I did not pay a fortune (and I'll be submitting a claim to the real insurance anyhow, so I should hopefully be receiving some of that money back).

Did a quick job search when I got home...nothing new out there.

Submitted a logo to a contest on 99designs.com. If I win, I get $200. That would be nice. I'll be keeping my eye on that site...

Watched another Netflix movie. "The Butterfly Effect." Love it, although it's a wee bit depressing. Perhaps it makes me feel better about my life. Or it's just a nice distraction for a couple hours...

I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow at 10 a.m. Not really looking forward to it, but it's necessary, so I might as well go through with it since my insurance will be gone soon.

I also have to do work on some of my freelance projects tomorrow, since people are expecting results very soon. I'm cool with that...keeps me busy, makes me happy. I'd be happier with a secure job, though.

That's pretty much it for today. Perhaps tomorrow I will hear from a possible job?
