as for MRIs , I am almost 6 months past due and until I can fake a medical emergency that requires an MRI of my head I guess I will do without ... insurance doesn't pay for what they term maintenance MRIs but will pay for one in case of an emergency ...awwwwwwwwww the crazy world of insurance woes

and I guess a fake medical emergency is out since I am not a good faker and would get caught and locked up for insurance fraud ... in jail though the local prisoners have full coverage ...hmmmmmm might be such a bad plan after all

Soundy -

please don't turn into a criminal for the sake of insurance.  I'm not sure they'd let you access the ANA Forum from jail

our jail has no smoking , no vending machines for snacks or drinks , no TV room , no computers , two orange suits per week , (but you can shower daily) ... and if you don't go out on work detail (non violent crime  offenders) you are fed breakfast and dinner , no lunch ... our last Sheriff took all perks away and learned that by state law he is only obligated to feed prisoners 2 times a day ... he even made Good Morning America for being tough ... crime in the county has dropped ... new sheriff kept all changes in place ... former sheriff is Bo's cousin and now our districts state rep... wonder if he could pull some strings and get me a lap top  

really have no intention of becoming a criminal ... and still looking for better coverage from someone who will take me ... did learn through human services that I could get catastrophic coverage through the state that would cover AN issues ...

catch is , I have to get divorced and live in separate dwelling from Bo and recieve no support from him ...  ...

sorry for butt in Pooter

Mom, my MRI is scheduled for 5/25 at 1:15pm.  Dunno about follow-up appt with surgeon, but likely the week or so after the MRI is complete.  You're welcome.

Good man, Brian!!!  As the co-nagger on this, I am VERY happy that you have your MRI scheduled.  Now Jan and I can get on to nagging other people.  Hm, who's next?  How 'bout Capt Deb???


Sending you a big hug, Brian.

Update:  next Friday from 11:30am-4:00pm I'm set to meet with several members of the team in Austin.  They weren't kidding when they said a half day of interviews with several people. Yikes!

Debbi, it wouldn't be the same without you and Jan continuing to get after me for scheduling my MRI. I know it's only because you guys care. Besides, as you say, we are surgery twins.

Regards,
Brian

Brian, I've an interview like that before, and it was not so bad. I prefer them to large group interviews because it's easier to focus.

Sara

P.S. I got that job.

[Pooter]

Sara, it's not so much a group interview as it is back-to-back personal interviews with 5 individuals.  At least one of the 5 is one of my best friends in the world..  At least that one's in the bag (I hope)..  Thanks for the sentiments, though.  Big week for me personally with the MRI tomorrow, driving out of town Thursday night and interviews for most of the day Friday..  I hope come the weekend I have great news to share with everyone..

Thanks!

Brian

What I meant is that I prefer the back-to-back personal interviews. I had, I think, eight half-hour interviews with individuals, plus a group lunch.

I'm sure your friend is spreading good thoughts about you among his colleagues, and they will be predisposed to be impressed.

Wishing you the BEST on your interviews!!   AND hope all comes out Great news on your MRI results!!

[Pooter]

Sara, Jan and Denise thanks!

Update again, the interviews were today and they were intense! I met with a total of 6 people in over the allotted time. Some were hard to read how they felt it went, but from my perspective they overall went well. I guess it's back to wait mode. I'll either get an offer or not. I've done what I can and can do no more except wait. Thanks again for everyone's thoughts, prayers and well wishes. I hope to hear something from them soon (next week?).

Regards,
Brian

Pooter -

hope the news - when you get it - is good.

I may have to ask you for some interviewing tips in the very near future.  Work is currently a horrendous nightmare and I think I'll be throwing my hat in the employment arena very shortly.

Thanks for the update, Brian.  It seems as if you did well in the interviews and at this point, it's out of your hands, so your 'whatever will be, will be'  attitude is a sensible one.

Of course, I hope you receive the job offer you want and that it all works out for you.  Either way, you've done your best.  I'll be looking for your post with the final result.

Jan!  Oh my gosh!  I hope that you'll be throwing your hat into the employment arena by choice rather than the other way around.  I'm not sure I can give you many tips.  Hope it gets better!
