Good for you, Sean! I'm trying to be inspired, but the sofa is so comfy...

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
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!
Hey, Vortex - do you have time to give this offer a quick read?
yup, shoot it over.
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.
Yes, COBRA gives you 90 days to activate it. If you don't cancel officially, you are "deciding" whether to use it or not. You have the option to keep your insurance, but you don't have to. If you get into your other job with no need to use it, just cancel as of your first day of COBRA and you don't have to pay anything.
