As much as I'd love to leave BU there's basically nowhere else that does 40 time off days a year (earned vacation + holidays) on top of sick time. Pay isn't great but the vacation and other benefits are pretty wild.

I'm sure they get a bulk discount and likely presort so it's cheaper for them.

64 is my toasty. It goes down to 59 at night.
Big, old condo that I will be putting insulation in slowly over the next few years.

Must be specific routes because the bus I catch is running its regular weekday schedule today.

The incompetence of the State Legislature still continues under Baker and now Healey.

That's the thing because they have the pirate ships and the USS Constitution famously fought the Tripolitan pirates off the Barbary coast which was a big deal in 1805.

Reply to comment by makeupobsessedlawyer in Dental Insurance which covers 4 cleaning per year? by aleshere
While I don't work in a dental office and I know certain insurance plans have a limitation on how many of something or what is covered, I have also been explicitly told both by my service providers, i.e. the dental or doctor's office, and my insurance that applying the right/correct code makes a difference in coverage. I could be being gaslit by both sides, but I'm just sharing what my experience has been and what I have been told. 🤷♀️

This is the only solution to our policing problems.
Having taxpayers (or shareholders in private sector) pay for the wrongdoing only encourages more wrongdoing.

As Yale Electric has on its Billboard Fund the Police Even More. They have a lot of lawsuits to pay off.

Not necessarily true. Some plans only cover 2, the other 2 will need to be paid out of pocket. Doesn’t automatically qualify you. Check with your insurance and dental office.

I work in a dental office. Has nothing to do with how offices “code” things. I’m so tired of patients thinking it’s the fault of the office because things get denied sometimes. The exact codes are billed on the date of service the services are rendered, there is no trick or sneaky thing offices do to get cleanings covered 4 times a year for patients. It has to do with your plan’s frequency limitations. Some plans allow 4 cleanings a year, like yours.

Work in a dental office. After an SRP, scaling and root planing or also known as a deep cleaning, most patients are placed on a 3 month periodontal maintenance. That is seen as a different under insurance frequencies than a regular prophy which is only 2 times per year usually.

Which bus route are you talking about? How do you know that they're running on a Sunday schedule?

My guess would be they are short on bus drivers if that is the case.

No. Course releases is a benefit that comes at the end of year two. There is no other negotiating power.

At what point are you asking for 60? If it’s before you’ve spoken to anyone your app won’t get read.

You mean the MBTA weren't honest with us? How will we ever recover from the surprise?
