With the rank reset, maybe I'll finally own some fools. (more likely outcome: the exact opposite)

We'll just play two games, one 4 man game, and 1 8man game...there are also 2 man matchmaking games as well.

I have been reset, and played 1 game. not on a new map, but it was a new variant on Beaver Creek.

see you bitches tonight!

Rank resets are actually sort of nice, because the really good players (ie. Halo IS my job) end up moving up so fast you never play them.

What sucks is not playing H2 for about 2 months and then coming back. I was up to 15 in rumble pit and now I just keep getting pwned, so I dropped back to a 10. I stick with team slayer and rumble training for now cause I get a decent mix of players that way.

I did up my look sensitivity to 9 this week though, and aside from strafing and looking faster, it almost seems like I can run faster. I need someone to time my 40' for me.

That sound okay to you guys?


First one in the clan to 10 gets $1.

I work from home. But not my home. I met this lady who does Healthcare Retroactive Audits. Meaning we have contract with hospital in new york called Lenox Hill Hospital and Manhatan Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital. WE get patients records up to 2 years old. We do audits on them making sure they were paid correctly according to contracts the hospital has with the insurance company. Health insurance. like Blue Cross, Aetna, Cigna, Multiplan, Local insurances, Beechstreet, Vista Healthplans. you know. all health insurances. So i look at all the medical records and codes and see how much a surgery or whatever it was was suppose to get paid, along with room charges, medicine, doctors. blahh blahh blahh blahh.. on so on.. But i do it from my bosses house. She set a room up into an office. with 3 Desks 2 pcs.. and hopefully we move to an office in like 3 or 4 monhts with 2 or 3 more people. more $$$ yeah!!!!

No I don’t deal with Patients. I deal with Insurance Companies. With their claim departments. I basicall contact them and let them know that they processed a claim incorrectly and tell them how to do their jobs correctly. Then they review it. Send out more money for that particular claim. If not then we contact the hospital admin's and they deal with it at a higher level. But that rarely happens. We get it done without them., But maybe now we have to get them to help becuase i audited this insurance company called HIP Health Plan of New York and for the year of 2003 they underpaid the hospital by 1.8 million dollars. wooohooooo. if everything goes as it should in about 3 months we can get the hospital about 70-75% of that. meaning bigg bucks for us since we get 25% of what we recover for the hospital. And i get a commition of that..

25 to life was one of the main reasons to get an Xbox, but it is delayed again until at least July and I've heard late August

Problem is it happens every single time I try to join my friend's party (for the past few months). Hasnt happned with anyone else but 55M2G7L (and my other friend). So I dont feel its a one-time problem unfortunately
