It’s official, I got my badge. This is the home of my new job and where I will be spending the better part of the day. Our first day was spent in new employee orientation but I get the feeling that orientation is going to take a lot longer than one day. Where telecom has its share of acronyms, HMSA and the medical insurance coverage business has its own unique set of alphabet soup. It’ll be like learning a new language all over again. I am in the IS (Information Systems) department so at least there is some familiarity there. The people are nice and everyone there seems to quite happy with their jobs. Tomorrow’s another day of orientation but more importantly I’ll get my laptop. I feel so out of it when I am not connected.

So you’re why they’re raising their rates again! Congrats on the new gig, Burt! Hope they’ll still let you out for lunches now and then.

A bit of advice from a soon to be retiree on acronyms (yes, it does sound like you’re the only one speaking normal sounding English in a meeting when everyone else is doing HMSA-speak):
first-congratulations, long-life, persevere
second-if you have questions on acronyms, call-I’ll help if I can
