The Old School Lunch

So 3 months of “training” are done and over which means that I am now covered with the job’s insurance. Which is good. This was made effective September 1st and I had all my paperwork in order and on the insurace provider’s website (where I was a member with my old job) it gives me my member ID and new group number so I went down to the local drug store to pick up a prescription of some stuff that i’m running low on, really need and, of course, is ridiculously expensive. I tell the pharmacist my info and say that I don’t have a card yet. He says “i’ll give it a try” and 5 minutes later while waiting in the magazine aisle, he calls my name and he says that nothing came up, “sorry.” I somewhat knew this was going to happen with the weekend and especially the long weekend but was still cautiously optimistic given that my information was already on their own website and it seemed like everything was in order.
