 Being Retired now, I thought that it was time for a new name to this Blog |
|
Talk about perks, my career had one of the best I can think of! I traveled in the course of business, delivering classes for my employer. I was a Senior Training Specialist for Motorola Solutions, and taught classes on a wide variety of subjects centered around 2-way radio communications. I knew that when the time arrived that I would retire, and I have. I've always said that if you can't stand the heat in the kitchen, get out! I can't handle the heat anymore. I was qualified to deliver approximately 32 different classes, but about half of those were 'Legacy' classes, and were not in demand anymore. My students were technicians, those who maintained, programmed, calibrated, and repaired large 2-way radio systems. Some of these systems are statewide, and use TCP-IP networking to allow sites to communicate with others. Some are small, traditional type radio sites. The size doesn't matter, in each case the systems must be kept operational at all times, since many of them are Public Safety Systems. So I traveled, sometimes frequently, 3-4 weeks in a row.... where have I been? Some of the places I've been (I can't list them all here, the list would be toio long) are pretty interesting. 1. Hawaii - Four times, Oahu, Maui (twice), and the Big Island 2. BangkokThailand, twice 3. Frankfurt Germany, twice 4. Algiers, Algeria 5. Melbourne Australia 6. Bismarck North Dakota, Summer & Winter 7. Los Angeles, Too many times to count 8. Washington DC, Too many times to count 9. Seattle three or four times 10. Texas, all over the state 11. Florida, all over the state 12. New Mexico, HOME! Several times  Best Cultural And Regional Honorable Mention |
| Believe me, you don't know want to know this, but I'm going to say it anyway. And, this is a Rant, my apologies. My Prescription Insurance battle with Accredo continues. I received a text this morning to call ACCREDO. BTW, if you have them as your provider for medications you can't get at CVS or Wal-Greens, tell your doctor or Insurance Company that you wish to use a different company. Anyway, despite having a Prior Authorization approved, ACCREDO told me this morning that I have no Prescription Insurance., So I asked the obvious question. "How can a Prior Authorization (those have to go to the Insurance Company as far as I know) if I don't have Prescription Insurance. I've had issues with Accredo in the past, mainly about billing, because they kept billing the wrong insurance (Tri-Care, that insurance they said I don't have), and other things. One time it took me 7 tries to straighten them out. I also explained that I have Tri-Care 4 Life, and will have it until the day I die! That didn't seem to be something she was/is aware of, nor did she seem to care. I asked to be transferred to their Tri-Care desk, I had to request that 3 times before I was transferred. I think (HUGE emphasis on think) it's straightened out now, they better hope so. Another 45 minutes on the phone with them. I should start billing them for my time. Rant Over. |
