Well this last week overall has been going pretty well. I've been playing mostly cashgames and while I have had the occasional 2-3 buyin downswing overall it has went well. Tonight got saved by some drunk retard who was playing so so so horrendously bad. I think I took 3-4 buyins off in 20 hands it was great. Earlier in the day I didn't fair so well running quads into bigger quads, but hey thats poker.

As for real life stuff I had my interview today for the underwriter job and it went pretty well, apparently there was something like 200 people that applied for 5 openings. I'm feeling pretty good about it though the interviewer said they only called 35 people back and they were going to finish the first round of interviews this week and be making call backs for 2nd interviews starting the week after. I figure with all the strings that got pulled for me I should be in good shape and it sounds like an excellent opportunity. The department I'd be entering requires that you know pretty much everything there is to know about insurance so I'd have to take 5-6 tests and go through 8 weeks of training before I even started my actual job. At that point it'd be baby steps with a mentors help for the first two years. From there it would be pretty much free reign. Other perks 20% of the companies workforce is retiring in the next 5 years which means tons of opportunity for advancement, and since I would be trained in all aspects I can go anywhere in the company. Other perks they have further paid training/testing for everyone and the graduation is held at a random place each year. Every 10 years they have it in Hawaii so there's another huge perk. On top of that they have there own restaurant, cafeteria, theater, golf course, and full gym which are all complemtary(with golf as the exception) to employees. Overall it looks like an amazing opportunity and I'm really hoping that it works out.

Dangerous, but worth the risk.
