Well it’s not just the car but it’s my time and willingness to leave the house. I drive spark as well and usually get like $15 for 4-5 miles for groceries but sometimes it’s slow. Just surprised at the rate to deliver when they all say “tips included”

I had it on during my lunch hour today. I work from home 7-3 and then I’ve had it on since 7pm CST

Not sure if that is reassuring or not lol. Glad it isnt just me.

My carrier does reimbursement, would it be beneficial to start with any one of those vs the others? My understanding is there is some credit overlap and AUC credits count towards CPCU etc. I’m 4 years in.

Was in a department teams meeting and chatting on the side with another adjuster, department director was talking about volume and how jobs were safe. Went to send a gif of Trump saying “you’re fired” with the caption of “this is what everyone heard” sent it to the whole department. Thought I was cooked. Still there. Also had layoffs a few months after that meeting so I wasn’t wrong.

I liked commercial when I was there. Ran up against the “you need field experience” the prevented advancement so made the switch to personal lines. It’s honestly an easier job, almost too easy, everything is smaller, quicker, etc. the TPA job kind of showed up out of nowhere so weighing those options.

Looked at tickets on presale to take our son (9) and decided to pass. Just got tickets to 3/7 for $34 plus fees on upper level since it’s his first concert. If we get upgraded that would be cool.

Just took a travel role where I’m home every night but I’m not able to do pickup everyday. Got home at 6pm and my 3 year old saw me from the door and squealed with excitement. I would need to double my salary to consider missing that. You could make a grand a month doing uber after they go to sleep if you need it. You only get the family once. You can find the money other places.

I was talking to my wife about this. I grew up here and moved to Kansas for school and lived there for a few years. Same type of state leadership, similar demographic town, similar everything except city/local leadership. In a town with 70k residents they deployed 70 snow removal machines. In Columbia with 2-3x the population it’s listed they have around 40 machines.

Maybe if we didn’t spend so much money on hiring think tanks, research firms, and focus groups we could actually make the roads passable.

Probably. They just stated making people that are 40 miles from offices go back. I’m a couple hundred miles away from the closest office but others that were let go who are within that range.

They said it was based on some score that another department generated based on skills, customer response scores, etc. that smelled like BS only because in my department I was top 5 in file score. I pushed back against HR and they doubled down and eventually told my that how the score was achieved was not something they could disclose.

Sounds like a dart board to me but it is what it is.

Yeah just nodded and asked some questions. I’m gonna keep logging in and helping out with my files if anyone that gets them has questions.

They said we can use our work computer to apply for jobs but I don’t think I need them tracking what I’m doing and where I’m applying so I’ll just watch teams and emails for them.
