The organization of any complex arrangement hinges on the interplay of seemingly haphazard individual events.

(Disfunctional) American Family Insurance

Becki calls me today and tells me that I have a letter from American Family Insurance with the phrase "Payment Enclosed". This means only one thing. Someone somewhere screwed up my insurance again and now it's cancelled.

I call up AmFam and speak to Anthony who tells me they haven't received a payment in two months. I check with my US Bank's online banking and sure enough it shows the checks as sent and paid. I ran into this problem once before. So now I have to go down there on Saturday and show them the check.

Here's where the problem comes in. I thought I paid them already. So naturally, I thought the money was gone. I don't have enough to cover both months right now. Plus this gig I'm on now (for Dell) doesn't pay until December 18th. I have to be in New York on the 18th. I'm screwed.
