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?
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.
I hate doing that, Seska.
I meet the dregs of humanity and find myself questioning the whole "populism" thing.
Then, there is the fun of knowing you've told a stranger intensely personal things about yourself and then they get to kick the tires and maybe leave.
And I'm not a fearsome enough employer...nobody teaches you how to do it and I can't really use Ari/Lloyd as a template.
I have no real sticks nor carrots.
Oh! Smonster! COBRA has a retroactive period!
Interesting. Must research.
Vortex, insent.
Erin, the org that's given me an offer is based here in NC, but is kicking off a big project down in NOLA, but there's no assurance I'll be able to transfer down there. Regardless, this job should give me valuable experience to find a job with another org.
