The new job has started and all seems well. I don't want to say too much in case I jinx it, as I thought the last job (and the one before that!) were perfect for me as well. So far it appears to be what I was looking for, and so I am cautiously optimistic.
One major drawback is our prescription drug coverage. Asacol, which has worked beautifully for me for NINE years is not on the formulary. What.The.****. So, my options are to switch to one of the other "substitute" drugs (one of which I think might have caused a serious reaction for my dad) or I can pay for it out of pocket. Luckily, in 2012 they are supposed to permit patients to purchase non-formulary drugs for $100. It's three times the name-brand copay (no generic, as Asacol is still under patent protection) but that's still waaaaay less than full-price. It does make me angry since Asacol is such a basic drug in treating IBD.
Oh. And I forgot to mention. Viagra is covered. Because ED treatment is more important than keeping my inflamed colon slightly less inflamed.

Of course viagra is covered. Old men who run the insurance companies want to get theirs. Wonder if birth control is covered? :P
