POV: You said “just one hour” at the fair…

1 day agoEdited to

... Read moreI remember planning to spend just one hour at the fair with a friend, thinking we’d easily stick to our schedule. Yet once we arrived, the excitement took over. The sounds of carnival games, the smell of delicious fair food like cotton candy and funnel cakes, and the bright lights of the rides made it impossible to leave early. What starts as a simple plan quickly turns into a full day of exploring every corner—from thrilling roller coasters to quirky game booths offering fun challenges. The #LACountyFair, for example, offers so much variety that every visit feels unique. You might find yourself trying new food vendors or watching live entertainment you hadn’t planned for. One important tip I learned is to go with someone who loves adventure and is open to spontaneity. Fair trips are perfect for making memories because the energy is contagious, and the day just flies by. Whether it’s summer vibes, carnival rides, or discovering hidden gems like craft stalls, you’ll find plenty to keep you engaged. So if you ever find yourself saying “just one hour” at the fair, be prepared for the unexpected joy of staying much longer. It’s those unplanned moments of fun that make fairs truly special and leave you smiling long after you’ve left.

Is $30/hr fair for this workload?
Prior authorizations require accuracy, clinical knowledge, critical thinking, and constant back-and-forth with insurance plans, all while juggling multiple systems and deadlines. We are required to finish atleast 85% of our submission list which can range from 20-30 daily. $30/hr sounds decent
