Crazy For Cats

Good Morning, thanks for today’s daily report. Definitely cooler than yesterday, I may try and get some work done outside. The weekend agenda is to clean the house before the pet sitter arrives. Today’s meal suggestion sounds interesting and I have no idea what’s for dinner. Yesterday I created the stock perks account and submitted a copy of my shares, definitely not quicker than before. I’m also debating switching hotels for Friday night, our last visit the free shuttle was too big a hassle.

Thank you!

@JazzyV this attack is a bit more malicious than others. It targeted a vendor that processes claims for hospitals. Most time the average person is unaware of a cyber attack on a hospital. Many times when the attack is made public people think that data was copied and someone else has it, not true. The hospital data is encrypted and you need a key from the hacker to get access to data in your system. Typically the hackers take the money and run. We see these incidents weekly. We can usually bring the customer back online with their data by using a good backup that isn’t infected. I always recommend that we, the patient, retain a full copy of our medical records. US citizens are allowed to ask for this information under the Cures Act. Any organization that doesn’t comply should be reported to CMS. Today is a light work day which is giving my eyes a break from all that screen time. This week by the end of the day going on the tablet or other screen is something I don’t want to do.

Good Morning, thanks for today’s daily fleet report. It’s been a very busy work week. The biggest challenge of the cyber attack is that many hospitals can’t submit claims. We are helping them find alternative solutions to submit claims and then get reimbursed. Some hospitals will struggle to make payroll. Definitely looking forward to eleven days on the Eurodam.

Good Morning, thanks for today’s report. Starting this week work requires us to be in the office twice a week. Tomorrow DH and I will do our civic duty and vote in the primary. Over the weekend I did renew our AAA membership, it gives us a discount on our car insurance. I hope everyone has a good day today.

Good Morning, thanks for today’s report. It’s been a very busy work week with way too many zoom/google meet/teams meetings. Helping customers deal with the cyber attack has been very taxing. While Change Healthcare is their third party many blame us and demand we resolve the issue. We are working on helping them but it takes time. This attack will have some long lasting implications. This week I did manage to get DH’s military benefits applied to all our open bookings. I went to show him an excursion for August and HAL says no upcoming bookings and I have zero Mariner points. Ugh! CC updated their web page and now the hamburger menu does not appear on my tablet to select boards. Must type in boards.cc. Yesterday I did an early shopping trip, leaving at 6:15, to get items that aren’t available close to home. That afternoon Mona and I took a nap. Today I’m catching up on some chores I couldn’t get to during the week. @1ANGELCAT and @dfish thanks for checking upon me.

Bon Voyage!

Good Morning Everyone, thanks for the daily report. I was checking out flights for our November cruise and found a shortage of direct flights from FLL to Boston. Our usual JetBlue return flight wasn’t there. This morning we booked a flight with Delta to return home, it leaves at 11 on November 17.

Bon Voyage!

Bon Voyage!

Good Morning, thanks for today’s report. I never considered broccoli with egg, I’d give it a try. Not much on today’s agenda, I might not even leave the house. I hope everyone has a good day today.

The Eurodam looks good coming into port. 20 days until we board.

Thank you!

Good Morning, thank you for today’s daily fleet report. Today’s meal suggestion sounds is a really nice treat. Tonight we will have baked ziti with some wine. Today there is only one meeting on my work schedule. I do expect to be a bit busy helping customers deal with the cyber attack at Change Healthcare. I hope everyone has a good day today.

@JazzyV I’m glad that you are home and your BFF is there with you. I hope that the procedure is the answer to your pain.

I don’t mind at all. During last year’s meeting they blamed staff for the company not being as profitable as they wanted to be. The reason, they gave raises. The raises did not keep up with inflation.

Good Morning, thanks for the daily fleet report. Today promises to be a warm day, 45F. Hopefully I can get in a short walk at lunchtime. I’m curious about today’s meal suggestion. Today’s dinner will be a pork roast. Today there is a company wide meeting that will be mostly leadership telling us how wonderful they are. I hope everyone has a good day today.

When we were there last year on the Zaandam we were treated to a caviar presentation that HAL was testing. There was champagne and caviar to be had by all who attended. I stuck with the champagne and Juan sampled the caviar. We got picked because we were number 4 and 5 highest mariners onboard and they wanted our feedback. The guy who did the presentation was excellent. A brewery tour sounds good!

Last time we took the Hop on Hop Off and spent a fair amount of time at the rapids. We missed the market so that is on our to do list.

Good Morning Jacqui, now that our pet sitter confirmed her availability could you please add the cruises below? Zuiderdam August 24, 2024 7 Day Canada & New England Discovery. Zuiderdam August 31, 2024 7 Day Canada & New England Discovery. Boston round trip itineraries are so easy for us. The August 31 itinerary was updated to include a stop at Saint John. I’m hoping that holds. Thank you!

Good Morning Everyone, thanks for today’s daily fleet report. Today’s meal suggestion sounds good today, I’m not sure what I’m making although I’m having scrapple for breakfast. This morning my state refund posted so that’s good news. The pet sitter confirmed that she can watch the kids for August and November. The challenge for November is that Jet Blue isn’t showing the usual return flight times on a Sunday, they have them for Monday so I’m debating on spending a night in FLL post cruise. @seagarsmoker excellent news on the job. I hope everyone has a good day today

Last year our health plan switch from ExpressScripts to CVS Caremark. CVS is more difficult to deal with. Someone in my group went on Medicare and CVS made him start from the beginning for all his meds, even though they had all the information.

After I posted I checked my email. My PCC got back to me about adding the AARP perk to our existing bookings. She was successful!

Hello Everyone, thanks for today’s daily fleet report. It was an in office day, with half the group out for winter break it was very quiet. DH is on a work trip so tonight and tomorrow it’s just me and the cats. I’d like a piece of cherry pie but there’s none in the house, I’ll settle for a chocolate muffin from work. @dfish ugh on your day, I hope you get things resolved correctly. @USN59-79 Bon Voyage. I hope everyone has a good rest of the day.

Good Morning, thanks for today’s daily fleet report. While it’s a holiday here we are both working. Yesterday I packed for next month’s Eurodam cruise. I’m definitely looking forward to getting away. I’ll pass on today’s meal suggestion and we’ll have leftover chicken from Saturday. I hope everyone has a good day today.
