It's been a bit since I last blogged. Things have been quite trying at the office lately and will only get worse. About 2 months ago, I found out that the plan I work for was not awarded the Kansas contract for 2013. This means that we'll be closing our doors the end of the year...and everyone will be out of a job. This was one of my biggest fears...one that is now a reality. I have a whole new respect and understanding for the many Americans that are out of work and searching for new employment. It's so scary to think about not having an income...and I'm still employed at the current time.
Many of my staff have begun securing jobs with our corporate office or other local health plans, which I am very happy about. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be quite so easy for someone at my level. In addition to losing a contract at the plan level, we recently found out that Aetna is purchasing Coventry Health Care. This may be a good thing for the future, but unfortunately will not come to fruition before my time here is done. So keep your fingers crossed for me as I search for my next endeavor!
Enough focus on the negative. Thankfully, I've had the wedding to focus on also. This has helped my slow days at work move forward and kept my spirits up during especially difficult times! Things are coming together very nicely. We've recently had a few hiccups with the invitations, but they finally went out the door today. Yahoo!
We're also excited about making a trip back home soon for a Bach Party, hosted by my fabulous MOH. We are very much looking forward to spending that time with our family and friends!!!! We hope to see you soon!
