After talking with [livejournal.com profile] albauk about my possibly silly belief in the power of the Mercury retrograde, I returned to my office for more proof of its power to fuck with anything relating to communication or commerce. Remember my dental surgery a couple weeks ago? Well for some reason a bill went to my parents' address (I get all my other insurance correspondence at my address) stating that I was not covered for the procedure and I owe them $900something. Then my mom read the bill to me and lo and behold, my employer was listed as Etown.com! That's the now very defunct website I worked for when I got out of college 5 years ago. They must have processed me under my group number from 5 years ago. How does this happen? Probably because they just looked me up under my SSN and I just happened to have the same insurance provider 5 years ago. I called back and got it straightened out, but I hope it was all just a big mistake and I don't owe any money. The dentist's office said I was covered. But isn't that just crazy? What if it hadn't been my parents' address? I would have just had a bill for almost a grand floating around in the ether, who knows what havoc it would have wreaked with my insurance or even my credit.

Mercury goes direct tomorrow at 3:46am ET. It can't come too soon!

Are you sure it can't take back all the havoc it's wreaked? :(
