Random Updates

CAR – My speedy Jetta is officially in the hands of another person, and I'm going to be truckin' around in my Dad's Ford Escape for the next two weeks (thanks!).

DRINKS – Thursday is my “goodbye” happy hour at work. I've shared this blog address with a few people so far, however I won't be ready to send it to a wider audience of coworkers until I'm literally ready to walk out the door.

MAPS -If you only read these posts through a feed reader, be sure to check out my Maps page from time to time – once I hit the road, I'll start posting “Map Views” which will take you directly to the location on Google Maps, however you won't see the link through the feed.

SOCCER – MLS Cup 2007 is Sunday, and though DC United didn't make it, I'm still excited to see the match in person.

VIDEO – I owe readers a video of me taking a shot of Absinthe next Wednesday, to celebrate my last day of work.

INSURANCE – Trying to collect medical records from various providers to submit to an underwriter who will decide whether the insurance company will cover me SUCKS! I did not leave myself enough time.

MY JOB – I've worked for Lumenos, a start-up health insurance company, for the past 5 years, though 2 of those years were technically after we were bought by behemoth Wellpoint (owner of 14 state BlueCross/Blue Shield plans). Feels good to share my company name, however don't worry, I won't mention it again!
