Interveiwed

This weekend we played some hockey. I got damaged on the nose. I'm not really sure how. I have a full cage on my helmet...but it happened. I would show you a picture, but I look rather foolish in the ones I have, and really, it isn't anything impressive.


After St. Louis, I stayed the night in Kansas City for a Monday of interviews with Hallmark. The company paid for me to stay in 21st floor room at the Hyatt. This is the view of Kansas City from my room that night.

The interviews went fine. If you want to know about them, then give me a call and I'll chat it up with you. But I don't feel the need to give detail of my 7 hours of interviews here on my blog. I'm not that good at telling stories.

Now its just time to wait for the offers to start rolling in. And offers there will be!! We hope to hear from Hallmark in Kansas City, a software company in Tulsa, and/or the Stat Department here in Manhattan.

Effective Collections

This morning I went to a seminar presented at Manhattan Medical Associates office on Effective Collections. The company presenting was Account Recovery Specialists Inc., and the presenters were Sally and my mom!! Mom gives lots of seminars for ARSI, I've never had the chance to go. But giving one in the town I live in on a day that I didn't have anything else to do, it was the perfect time.

I'm glad I went to. It was a short seminar, only about 1 hour and 20 minutes, where they are usually 2 and a half hours long. But it was still interesting. Since I don't know, mm...basically anything about what she does, it was neat to listen to some really basic info.

One thing I did learn about is PIP. I'm sure some of you may know more, but PIP insurance is personal injury protection insurance. And if you are an insured Kansas driver, you have it. Not all states have it, but here in KS, it applies to any no-fault motor vehicle accident. It will pay for up to 4500$ in medical expenses. Crazy. I'm sure there's way more to it, but still, I didn't know about it.

I learned other things too, and I'm glad I went. As for the Hallmark interview. I studied for no reason. The closest thing I got was, "What's your favorite statistical method?" It was good though. We'll see. If they call back and offer a day of interviews then I'll go and we'll just see what comes of it all.

Hallmark Interview

Tomorrow I have a telephone interview with Hallmark. I am studying for it now. Eee.
