The Hobbit Hole XX - And take the hidden paths that run...
The Freeper Hobbit Hole ^

Posted on 03/05/2005 11:51:13 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

And take the hidden paths that run...

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

Ah, that's good to know!

I should probably check with the insurance folks before I go so I know the details.

So much to do! Time is just FLYING by...kinda scary.

Can't stay, way busy today....

Most employers must cover you through the end of the calendar month. If you leave halfway through the month, your insurance should remain in effect until the last day of that month.

Insurance companies do not "pro-rate" their premiums. It is done month to month. My main concern would be the possibility of a double-deduction on your last paycheck to cover your contribution.

Double-check with your HR department though.

Gah. I've had an earworm for the last three days. It's obnoxious beyond reason because I only know three-quarters of the song. And the song's the geneology of Jesus from Matthew.

I could hum a few bars of "The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins" if that would help...

Thanks Ruthy! You're a peach!

I'll check with HR. I hafta discuss benefits with 'em, anyway.

You can continue to pay premiums to your old job and keep your current coverage at the current rate for a year. It's called COBRA coverage, and your HR person will know how it works. If you have the cash flow to do that, it is very good piece of mind.

I hope to avoid COBRA, though...just because I was told it would cost hundreds of dollars a month...something like three or four hundred. Eep!

But I guess I can discuss it in more detail with HR.

OK, folks...heading out to do a few things and then to the closing. I'll be back for a few minutes afterwards to let you know how things went!
