Yup. We have open enrollment now and I'm tempted to find a new insurance company, but they're all going to do the same thing.

My insurance company stopped writing insurance here three years ago, and I switched to Molina. They lowered my rates by $300 a month and their coverage has been outstanding, even covering all of my daughter's inpatient treatment which was unexpected.

I've never heard of them, but I will see if their coverage is offered by my company. My current insurance is Aetna.

Aetna is usually pretty good here, depending on the plan. I've never heard of Molina either- and we did a lot of digging- which makes me think they may not be available here.

I'm genuinely glad to hear a positive story about Molina. I don't know anybody in healthcare that can tell one.

Morning radio the other day was going over the most common names of the year, and between the top 10 of girls and boys there was only like 3 normal names. They then mentioned that there have been a lot of nature themed names like Bear and Forrest for the boys or flower names for the girls. One of the hosts then went into a 5 minute rant on why would someone name their kid Forrest.I forgot who used to always post kids names but my kid has a girl in his class named Curstyn

So, I've started a new job this week. Tangentially related to my old industry, but I was pretty unhappy at the last place, it was more money and less responsibility (Lookit me!), and highly recommended by a couple of colleagues who worked here already, so I decided to take the plunge.
I totally forgot how crappy onboarding can be.
Haven't done that in a good little while, and haven't done it 100% remote in over a decade. This entire week has been nothing but ignored IT/HR tickets sandwiched between a fire hose of Zoom calls on new systems, culture, "inclusivity training", etc, etc. It's Thursday and I haven't even "officially" met my new team yet.
It's also dawned on me that I can probably stop pretending I'm not old and the blue fauxhawk isn't fooling anyone any longer.
By no means am I "totally surrounded by Millennials or Gen Y-ers" anymore than I was at my last studio (both my direct report and department head are a good bit older than I am)....but maybe it's the mindset? Many folks at the new place are uber passionate about the product. Me? Ehhh....I think it's neat, but I'm not their target demo.
Also been sort of weird to not be hounded 6 out of 8 hours for "fill in the blank issue" since I'm not leading a team anymore. Gonna probably take a few weeks to re-calibrate for that.

congrats! I saw one of my friends I previously recommended to you (I can't remember how far that got- if just relayed info from my end, or putting the two of you in contact or something else) looking for graphics help and thought of you. very glad to see theres a new gig and it isn't terrible... so far.So, I've started a new job this week.

sidebar: the hr lady straight up threatened us, twice, at work yesterday. “You don’t ever want me, to have to talk to you”. And “I am always watching the cameras”. Cool cool cool.

One could say we've been doing that for about 4 and a half years.
I should certainly be looking at this as a positive. The old place was becoming toxic....but "the devil you know", etc. etc, right? Five years at a studio is "a lifetime" in the game industry, and I made it to nearly 4.5 . You get used to a LOT in 4.5 years.
Just feels a little weird so far, but it's Day 4. I'm sure that'll probably fade soon.
Thanks. Regarding the old stuff, yeah you relayed my info to them and...that's about as far as it went.
They never reached out. Doesn't mean I didn't appreciate you doing it though.Thanks. Feels like I'm "aging out" of my industry a little, but this opportunity was to good to ignore.

don't use "expanded view" to view topics in the FFA. the topic preview feature could be cool, but it breaks the forearm.

Thanks. You may have done it already, but if not, filing a ticket with an email to help@footballguys.com is super helpful for us there and we can relay the trouble to Invision that runs the board software and they'll try to address.

did that and Matt has been replying to my emails, but based on his replies it doesn't seem he's reading what i'm writing.

Sorry, Lucas. (Sorry, Lucas reference. That movie with Corey Haim. I just remember they tell him how bummed they are for him and would he like to join them for pizza. "Sad? If you're so sad, why are you getting pizza?")
Just something that pops into my head all the time for some reason. Very plaintive, his asking that during that scene.

Welp, not for nothin', buuuut if this is a "private" journal explain how some internet rando (e.g. me) knows so much about the driving habits of your wife?

In that case, for my particular strand, could you "imagination" up a little less stress/responsibility and a little more scotch? TIA.
I'm not sure. He posted a thread in the Staff messaging platform we use asking about it and saying a customer had inquired. Not sure if it was you but thought it was. Matt is conscientious and does his best to help customers. He normally does a great job.
He'll take a look but my guess is it is something that will not be able to be resolved so we'll have to live with what we have.
