During the Thanksgiving vacation, my former boss, Ray, emailed me and told me that the bank had allowed my old company to extend COBRA to its employees for the rest of the year. So I canceled the temporary insurance; my refund should come soon. I filled out the benefits application for my new job. Adam found out that his company now has an actual medical insurance policy, but no vision and only a dental discount policy. If he went on my medical insurance, I'd be paying several hundred, but if I just put myself on the policy, I'd pay nothing. Adam decided that he will go on his own company's medical to save me money. He'll go on my company's dental and vision as my dependent spouse, which means I pay nothing for my medical insurance, and less than forty dollars for dental and vision. Also, I get free life insurance and AD&D insurance. My new company is good like that.
Also, they serve various kinds of tea and coffee in the pantries and kitchens -- including rooibos. I've been drinking red tea and green tea since Monday.

We went to the used car dealership after Adam picked me up at the metro station. The blue Taurus needed too much work and wasn't worth the low price because of it. But we did find a white 1999 Ford Taurus station wagon with 60,000 miles on it, great condition. Electronic doors, locks, windows, etc. It was a bit more expensive, but still within our budget, so Adam paid some up front and financed the rest.
We have a new old car. She runs beautifully. We may decide to eventually sell the green G20 Chevy van.

Orientation, Day 2: My software training ended at two, so I spent the rest of my day sitting in my library office, learning my new email, Word programs, intranet, and other things. My supervisor, David, is very soft-spoken, gentle. It's hard to read him right now, because he's quiet and doesn't smile much. But everyone I've spoken to have eagerly volunteered opinions on him, telling me that he is kind, sweet, appreciative, and a wonderful person. My lunch with him yesterday showed me that he's caring and introspective. Tomorrow will be my first full official day working. I can only hope I will do as well as I believe I will.
