Friday with Matt Searby and the Weekend.

So Friday was fun in the office.

Matt Searby is on a fun broking team that does primarily liablity insurance. The case we worked on was interesting: Medical Malpractice Coverage Renewal for doctors in Puerto Rico. Hit home a bit there for me. It was an interesting program renewal in the sense that it was a 1 year old program that had only placed business covering 20 doctors on the island and had a start up goal of 100. So Matt and I had to convince underwriters that the policy would reach its 100 doctor target goal in year two and that well the time invested by the underwriters would be worth the risk.

Bit of negotiating and marketing there no doubt.

In the afternoon we call the office in Miami to speak to the policy lead to tell him we had gotten the renewal approved and to sort of push him into realizing he needed to meet that goal of getting 100 doctors if the insurance was to be successful in the long run.

So on to the weekend... Tom and I went out with Jamie Pooley, one of the graduate trainees. Really cool guy about 3 years older than us. Met up with his uni mates (friends from college) and watched Euro Cup and the England - New Zealand Cricket Match - spent some time learning how cricket is played and enjoyed the rather male dominated atmosphere of the Sports Pub. I left early on my own leaving Tom with Jamie to go to the flat and rest up from the work week and I caught up with a few people from home before getting a call from Jamie to meet him back out in City at a club/bar that cost me 10 quid (20 US) to get into and was full of people on the dance floor with Disco playing... London pop culture is hilarious from a music standpoint... but I kinda fit in hahahaha... Spent the rest of the night there dancing the night away... nobody grinds like in the states so it was like middle school circle dancing all night.

Tom and I took Saturday off and began working on our final presentations and Sunday we shopped in Picadilly Circus and found a really cool whole in the wall Italian place to eat in Oxford Circus.

Quite a light weekend but good for the much need rest to prep for another week at the office. Its already half way over! Time flies.
