I wish I could have a half day. It started dying out late last night, and I bet it's gonna be dead today. Yay for Zombie Jesus weekend.

Do you want me to order something? Keep you busy?

Yeah rain kinda changed my plans. I was thinking of staying all day at work and then going to hang out around Target field tonight and see if there were any activities (I work 10 blocks from it).

I'm planning on hanging out down there all day, evening, on the Wednesday of the second home game, I have tickets and I'm taking the whole day off, so I may as well make the best of it.



I listened to the 93x HAMS this morning. They had Chris Warcraft Kluwe on again. He is pretty funny, and it is always good comedy when the guys make fun of him for 1. Being a punter 2. Losing to the Saints 3. Being a video game geek.

(Kluwe tells story about hitting the military guy holding the flag pregame, right before the anthem, with a punt)
HAMS: You hit him in the face!
Kluwe: Yeah, it hit him right in the face. I could tell right away after I kicked it that it was tracking right to him. I couldn't yell at him, it was too loud in there.
HAMS: So he was wearing a Reggie Bush jersey? :p
Kluwe: No! Devin Hester!

Good morning. Is BET a gambling channel? ;)

Pretty full house here at the cube farm.....byut I think it will thin out after lunch.

The marketing group I support asked me to spend several days a week in their location.....which is by far the nicest building on campus.......I think I can hang with you fellas for a while. :)

I just finished a cinnamon role from Ye Olde Town Bakery in Farmington, and there are three things to note:

1. They make some of the best bakery items around.
2. Holy Hannah, are those things messy!
3. The role was about the size of a fully grown adult fooper.

Is there anything in the new health care plan that will make doctors see you when your appointment is? I've been sitting here waiting for my 10am appointment. No idea when she's going to take me. I haven't eaten or had anything to drink because I'm supposed to have a cholesterol test. I'm hungry and I need to eat something. Maybe I should just pass out here. That might get me in faster.

I don't think the point of it was to actually help get better care for people, sadly.

On that same note, got the email from the president of my company saying that health insurance premiums "are sure to be increasing" as a result of the bill. :rolleyes: :mad:

No, the waits are sure to be longer once more people are in the offices. Med schools report that the numbers are low for those training to become GPs. I expect to see another bill pushed through before November that creates tax incentives for med students who choose to become GPs.

Unless you work for a company of <50 employees, they're pretty much guaranteed to do so. Companies of <50 employees will get a tax credit of, I believe, 35% for the insurance premiums they pay for their employees for the first 5 or 6 years after the law takes effect.

They shouldn't be. Due to the millions of new policies that providers will get from the new law in 2014 requiring every to be insured, they shouldn't need to raise existing policies at all.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 107: Now What??

This news depresses me. As does the e-mail today of, "hey, guess what, no raises!!!!! mwwwhahahaha" Please note that I am still very appreciative to have a job in Michigan

Oh, and the lovely weather while I'm at work and a bunch of people have the day off or a half day. Not here though, there are a bunch of people at the office and a lot of crap to do.


Morning Lodge!
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 107: Now What??

Good morning, Lodge.

1) The weather here kinda sucks.
2) I am still sick. Good thing I don't have work today :D
3) There was something I was going to put here, but I forgot, oh well.

Hope all is well with everyone else. :)

Not when you are forced to cover more things as well as all pre-existing condition cases.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 107: Now What??

Politics in the Lodge = lame. Even if it is something that affects every American. :o

Morning, Lodge.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 107: Now What??

Sorry WT. I didn't get one last year either - and later in the year I got the dreaded "due to the economic conditions...." HR meeting. :(

Luckily I was able to find something here before I got voted off the island. :) Today I found out I got an increase effective 4/1. :) :)

I got the notice yesterday that I was getting one, and not only am I getting the standard raise, they said that if I only get the standard raise this year, I'd still only be making the same as a college new-hire, so I'm also getting an additional supplemental raise because my supervisor "thinks my value is higher than that of a new hire". :eek:

Yeah, my company's setting record EPS numbers (0% Fed Funds Rate is a quick way to make a buck in this economy when you lend that money right back to the Feds), and I still only saw a 2% raise. Never overlook a bank's propensity to be cheap.
