Got back from Geico not too long ago and they were able to get the results of my credit report back right away and it was fine. What a relief! I know I was probably worrying for nothing but it was a concern that I had. I know my background check will come back fine, so I should be all set.
They gave me a bunch of information to look over regarding their policies & procedures, health insurance, etc. I glanced quickly over the health insurance and it looks like it'll only be $23 per pay period (every other week) taken out of my check for health insurance. I know at Medtronic I had coverage for both Matt & I and now it's just me, but that still seems on the low side...which I'm happy about. Makes up for the fact that I have to have NY state income tax taken out...I got spoiled in WA.
You should have seen all the hair that they took from me for the drug test. I thought they were going to pull a single strand out by the root. Oh no. They cut a LARGE strand of hair as close to the scalp as possible. Luckily I have thick hair and she took it from the underside in the back but when I run my fingers through my hair I can feel the stubble. I know this sounds so vain but I almost cried when I saw how much she took. She said it only "looks like a lot". No, it WAS a lot!! ha ha
I ran out of cigarettes last night and decided that I would start wearing the patch today. I totally forgot to put the patch on in my haste of getting ready this morning and as I was driving home from Geico I thought "oh I can just stop at 7-11 and buy some more"...then I thought "NO!!". So I stopped myself and put a patch on as soon as I got home. I'm really going to do my best to kick this for good.
I'm looking forward to starting a new job & meeting new people and of course not being on unemployment and having a real paycheck again...but I'm also going to miss not working. I left Medtronic on March 9th so it's been almost 4 months, most of that time was spent in an emotional mess but the last few weeks have really settled down. I have been bored at times and it's hard when you have only a certain amount of money to work with, but I am going to miss staying up as late as I want and sleeping in. I love that part of being off. I don't like schedules! ha ha
Oh-well, that's life. I'm going to go look at some of my paperwork and read more about the health insurance.
Have a good day!
