Double Early Retirement

I was planning on working until the end of the month since there really isn't a reason for me not to. It would pass the time, I'd be getting paid, insurance would be no problem....well that's not the case anymore.

Lack of work ended my career earlier than expected. We've been so slow lately and it just hasn't been picking up at all so they said "See ya later!!" Actually, it was much nicer than that and my boss was really sad because she liked me (she really liked me!) :) She did say that if I needed work after the baby and all that I should try back. They might be working again at full steam and at the rate they were losing women to babies, they'll be happy to have someone who knows what they're doing.

After a few phone calls, and some really good timing on legislature for COBRA, I think we're going to be ok on the insurance front. I have at least 5 weeks from monday that I'm covered for and I sent them a check for the whole thing so they should be happy. And after that I might qualify for the new law that says people who are laid off can continue with their current insurance providers until they find new insurance and their co will pay their part of the premium still. There are a few exceptions so its still up in the air if I'll get it, but of course the insurance people were pretty wishy washy on the details. Like they didn't know.....jerks. And the baby will qualify for CHIP so he'll be insured for at least a year.

So that's it. Tomorrow is my last day at the grind-stone. It's been a rough three years. hahahhaa That's all I've worked essentially. Sweet. And who knows, maybe I'll be forced back out of retirement come June. We'll just have to wait and see.
