Good on you, Sean, for doing it anyway!
I've got the offer. Need to sign and fax back.
...any time now.
It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

Argh, smonster! Your current insurance should be good up till end of the month; might wanna compare COBRA to an individual plan like Blue Cross of something for a month or so. I've COBRA'd and it's fucking insane.
(Get your current doc to write out 90 scrips of any meds you take, and get em this month if you can; explain the sitch. Most docs are pretty understanding.)
I am excited for you, and this just pushed my tentative plans to try to have our belated honeymoon in NOLA. Nora, Tom and smonster!! Drunken dinners!

Actually, my insurance goes to the end of the next calendar month, I think, so I'd only need COBRA for a short period. I should check with my HR person here. Thanks for the tip on prescriptions, that's a good idea.
And this job starts here, Erin, and I'm not sure when (or if) something will open up in NOLA. But you should go ahead and do your honeymoon down there!
Hey, Vortex - do you have time to give this offer a quick read?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Good for you, Sean! I'm trying to be inspired, but the sofa is so comfy...

Oh! Smonster! COBRA has a retroactive period!
IIRC you can go sixty or ninety days where you can make the back payment if you need to activate your insurance and use it.
I know I once utilized that feature (or, happily, didn't) when I had a situation where my new insurance wouldn't kick in for a month.

I repeated the Day One workout today. I still didn't make the minimum number on the last set, but I did one more than I did Monday. I'll repeat Day One on Friday and hopefully make the minimum on the last set, take the weekend off and then I should be able to do all of Week One next week.
I need more protein powder, but that won't be happening until the next check comes in.

Yay for job-accepting, smonster!
Thanks for the PA~ma (heh), all. I have six candidates for interview, which isn't too bad. Now to spend tomorrow interviewing. I need two of them to be good!

I misunderstood, smonster. So, you MIGHT be moving to NOLA? I'm confuzzled.
And that retroactive COBRA info is a great thought! I didn't know that; I sure wish I had.

I'm not sure exactly how it works, obvs, or even if it is still in effect. An actual HR person ought to though.
