I work at State Farm now

So, I think this is my third week at State Farm. It's pretty cool so far. Everyone in the actuarial department is obviously a little bit nerdy, but it's worth it when you get to hear a good math joke that only actuaries would understand and/or think is funny.

I've been playing Viewtiful Joe 2 too much, and now I have a headache. I just don't have the video game skills I used to have.

Em: Can you check your e-mail?
Scott: I just checked it like 2 minutes ago.
Em: Well check it again, i just sent you something.
Scott: I don't have any new e-mails, can you send it again?
Em: No.

High-Fivin' a Grizzly Bear

So, the last couple weeks have been busy. All good things though.

My new job is pretty great. All my co-workers seem nice and my boss seems like a pretty cool guy. It's really laid back and we're only supposed to work about seven and a half hours a day. We get to pick what hours we want to work, so I get to go home at 3:45 every day.

On top of that, we get to take an hour during work each day to study for actuarial exams which, in turn, if we pass, we get a big raise. And, it turns out, I might already have credit for some of the CAS actuarial exams (it's the VEE courses, for those of you familiar). Once I do the paper work for that, my boss said I'll get a raise for that. So, I might get a raise in just a couple weeks.

So far, it all seems pretty nice. I would definately recommend doing well in college and getting a nice job, so far it's worth it. The best part, though, is that we get to sit around and talk about math all day. Honestly, what more could you ask for?

As cool as the new job is, however, it's still not as cool as High-Fivin' a Grizzly bear.
