What the hell?

APS

So your life insurance application can be turned down based on the basis of an Attending Physicians Statement, or so says
an article on MSN

so that's why they draw blood.
(well not really)

Yesterday I had the pleasure of speaking with Andrey, who I used to work with at GS. Turns out he's a DAD and working towards his CFA. He decided along with a host of other developers, that managers are not made from the IT group. It was really nice to hear his voice, and makes me appreciate the time I had there even if was working for an ogre.

I was verifying my list of contacts for my job application. Yes, I had to fill out that pile of paperwork again even though I'll still be working for the same client. I find the concept of job applications amusing, as most people have more than 2 things to put down for the last five years. Ok, not everyone, but the miniscule line and a half they provide for a "job description" just cracks me up.

I am up at this hour for no good reason. I fell asleep pretty early (10ish), but woke up when Matt got home. (Somewhere after 1.30am). I'm bummed I tried to pull down research papers from a site I previously had access to, and unfortunately no longer do. Anyone have a hookup to Hoovers? Or something like it?

So when I got home last night I putzed around downstairs getting a glass of water. Clearly everyhing I was doing annoyed the female troll, and so I stayed clear. The most annoying thing is that my cable box is still acting up, so no tv for me unless I'm downstairs. The technicians weren't available to come last weekend when I was home, and last week when I called the first availability is this coming Saturday. (They dont' work Sundays.) There wasn't any urgency since the only things broken were On Demand and the Guide information. (It would say No Data).

Annoying as I now realize I'm going to Long Island to hang with the Rentals.
UGH. I opted for the afternoon block on Monday, but that may actually be a day/time the recruiter sends me to first rounds for the contract to perm spot. Cripe.
