Hey, Vortex - do you have time to give this offer a quick read?
yup, shoot it over.
Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

[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.

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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
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.

Congrats on your decision, smonster. I applaud your big adventure to do good in the world and work with your hands and fix up New Orleans.

Hubby has discovered that some of his medical problems are a result of morphine-enduced low testosterone. Seems he's been needing to shave barely once a week recently (I'm a bad wife, I didn't notice). So now he's on testosterone replacement therapy. Kudos to Hubby feeling better, but I know the man, and extra testosterone running through his system does not inspire excitement. This is the guy who used to think jumping out of helicopters into burning forests was a good thing.

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.
Heh. I know what you mean. I've been a teacher, and I can be stern and a bit scary when necessary in that role, but not as a PA employer. I get all wheedling and passive-aggressive and then The Girl has to sort them out. And then I fire people. I do that a fair bit.
ETA: Connie, yay for hubby finding out a cause of some problems. Less yay for the thought of him deciding to climb mountains.
