I wanted to take this opportunity to apologize for the lack of stimulating non-work posts lately. There are only so many ways to make the wonderful world of insurance sound exciting on a daily basis and after posting on this blog for a little over two weeks, I find that I'm boring myself. So, to change things up, I'll take some time to discuss something that I'm really really stoked for in the near future: taking a cruise. Next month, 12 or so of my closest frie...

Office was shut down and we were to wake up at 8am with our computers fired up, ready and willing to do work.
