Life has become so complicated.  I can imagine a caveman (not the Geico one) dropped into our time and having to cope with everything.  Insurances, Credit, online shopping – yikes.  The thing that really bugs me though is how it seems lately you’re always fixing someone elses mistakes.  Just this week I had to: fix an insurance error, negotiate with Comcast about their screwed up billing, argue with Emergency Physicians about their vague bill (I doubt they did anything they said they did), pay a bunch of bills for things that are marginally necessary (associations, things like that), and fill out some form because I somehow am on the list for a credit card settlement (which I doubt I’ll see anything from anyway).  There was more, but you get the idea.  It’s all this piddly shit that takes up all your time and you don’t have any time to do what you want to do.  You spend your life on “hold” making phone calls to straighten out $2.00 mistakes and correct bills that shouldn’t be wrong to begin with.

Can’t anyone do their job right these days?  Must EVERYTHING be fixed because someone was too lazy to do it right the first time.  They say America is falling behind – DUH.  Because you have too many screw-ups that just don’t care.  My recent favorite is the convenient double billing health providers do – they send you a bill, then send you a bill saying the insurance may cover this, then send you another bill saying what they THINK the insurance may cover, then another saying what it did cover, and lastly (ha) one saying what they didn’t cover and you owe.  If you’re not careful, you can pay that same bill multiple times.  Of course, forgot the bill you get when your check crossed with their deliquent bill…geez.
