I screwed up yesterday. I booked my appointment to take my test for 4:30 because I had a 3pm conference call and that was the only time that didn't overlap. Except I didn't look closely at the date and I scheduled it for today instead of yesterday. At 4:30 I was already to take the test and the proctor gets online and is like, you're scheduled for tomorrow buddy boy, bye bye. Fuck me. I spent the morning getting prepped by reviewing more videos. I felt (feel) much better about taking the test this time but man it's going to make for a long day today. I teach and then after class have to take the test. Oh well.

I did have that conference call which resulted in me getting two students in an upcoming class this month which should add a few thousand more to quarter one. Plus we discussed an onsite visit in April. April right now is shaping up to offset Feb and March at least.  Spend three weeks on the road if this happens, but it will be totally worth it.

Before all of this, I spent my morning making phone calls and trying to track down some insurance info. When I log into our insurance portal it kept saying I was expired. After multiple calls and transfers I got it resolved and now can log in and see my right coverage. Not that it helps because my coverage essentially sucks ass. The whole reason for doing this was to make an appointment to get a hearing test. I wanted to use Costco as if I do need any kind of hearing aid, they have the best prices. Well they are not 'in network' but in the end it doesn't matter because while I do get $2500 a year towards hearing devices, that's AFTER my $2000 deductible so 90% of anything I buy will be out of fucking pocket anyway.

I ended up making an appointment for today but then the whole test fiasco happened and I had to move it to Wednesday. I will know then how my hearing is doing. This should be interesting. 30 years plus of concerts and headphones. Yeah, this won't be good. Speaking of concerts, was talking to the kid yesterday and she told me about a show she is going to - Rob Zombie + Korn. That should be an interesting show. They don't have a date close to me unfortunately. I would love to go to that but the nearest venue is 3 hours away.

Time to get ready for class. And my test. Wish me luck on both.
