I have looked at this insurance decision every which way from Sunday trying to figure out the best game plan. No matter how I slice the paycheck, I will have to be creative. My poor brain just can't wrap around the choices. I sigh and decide to meet with HR one more time, trying to sort through the options.
I lay out my various ideas, and my counselor starts punching buttons on her adding machine. She tries a few things I haven't thought of. No matter what convoluted plot we cook up, the bottom line is that I am not prepared for this curve ball. We keep talking it through, speculating about one thing and another. We write columns and columns of figures, adding, subtracting, scheming.
Finally we come to the least painful scenario we can manage, and I sign my name. Done. I walk back to my office wondering what I have gotten myself into. Ah, well. There is always something to wrestle with, and the good Lord always manages to take my twisted figuring and turn it into a work of art. It will be interesting to see how this one works!
