keith’s new self

I’ve been making noise at various parties trying to get this resolved. I’ve learned that the rep I was dealing with at IAP was in fact just a data gathering person, not someone who makes a decision on the claim (she just passes on the info to an adjudicator to make the decision). The COO at the benefits company (the middleman between me and IAP) has gotten involved as well, and I think has helped push the thing along - now my claim is being adjudicated without the missing file, to determine if that test result is even necessary. This is good since the adjudicator may very well approve the claim without it, but they may also come back and say that the file is required. I should know soon. In any case, I’m glad to see this thing pick up velocity.

Being the geek that I am, I wrote some Perl code to process my situation:

$person = JUNIOR_ASSISTANT_IAP_EMPLOYEE;
while($claim->unresolved()) {
    do {
        if (make_noise_at($person) == 'success') {
            $claim->resolve();
        }
        else {
            $person = $person->superior;
        }
    } until ($person == IAP_CEO);
    if ($person == IAP_CEO) {
        use Legal::Threats 'threaten';
        threaten($person) while $claim->unresolved();
    }
}
do_happy_dance();

Yeah, that should do it!
