change is good (an update on my life)

After six long [but mostly good] years at Planned Parenthood, I have finally moved on! I'm happy to let you all know that I have accepted an analyst position in the Medicare Dept. at Tufts Health Plan. In fact, I started this week. Though the change was a difficult one, I'm very excited to be moving my career in this direction. In my new position, I expect to be challenged but not overworked. I also plan on sleeping at night and having fun outside of work. Who knew life could be this good?

For those of you who don't know, Tufts Health Plan is the 3rd largest insurer in Massachusetts and has consistently been ranked high for their customer service. They have also been a part of the innovative health care solutions for our state by offering a low-cost insurance plan to eligible uninsured persons. (No Michael Moore/Sicko-type operations, here...). The department I'll be working in is small, focused and dedicated to assisting the elderly population of Massachusetts in getting the best health care possible. Best of all, I'm once again reunited with the only manager I've enjoyed working with and for--Melissa! :)

What about that beautiful baby boy, you ask??? Well, he is still lucky enough to be spending every day with his Papi. No doubt, in a few short months, he will be an expert at golf, baseball, sports statistics and uber-friendly bartending. Well, maybe not the last part... Now that I have regained my equilibrium, I'll be barraging you with pictures of him at least every other day, as well as posting his genius antics to my [other] blog on a much more frequent basis (see link below).

For those of you I haven't been in touch with for a while, thanks for your patience and friendship. I believe that everything happens for a reason; but (to quote myself): Even when change is welcomed, it isn't easy.
