So after that whole getting married thing, I had to find out how to get Candice listed on my health insurance policy at work. So I fired HR a line last week, and the person who could answer me got back from vacation today.
I now have the form I have to fill out, but not before giggling about the title: Choices and Opportunities Lifestyle Change Form.

Could the form have been any more politically correct? I challenge people to find a way. :p

Posted 31 Jul 2006 at 3:21 pm ¶Oh, I should’ve listed the Lifestyle Changes it supports: Marriage, Separation, Divorce, Add/Remove Common-Law Spouse, Add Child, Dependent no longer eligible, Loss of spouse’s coverage, First Home Purchase, Smoker Status Change.
Posted 31 Jul 2006 at 3:25 pm ¶First Home Purchase?
Posted 31 Jul 2006 at 4:00 pm ¶If you check the “Swinger” box you can and will be assigned additional partners by HR.
Posted 31 Jul 2006 at 5:05 pm ¶It’s in the same category as smoker status change. Homeowners must present a different risk profile to the insurance company.
Posted 31 Jul 2006 at 8:00 pm ¶Hmm. I wonder if homeowners are considered less risk due to that whole “responsible enough to own a house” stereotype, or more risk because there are infinitely more ways to harm yourself in your own house?
Mowing the lawn, building a deck with your cousin Joe who swears he’s done this before, trying to fix furnace because you’re too cheap to call an electrician…
