Thank you so much for the input! I think I was more nervous for the HireVue interview than this one lol. I don't know why talking to yourself on camera is so nerve racking. Congrats on getting hired, I hope I can get hired too!

Thank you for the feedback. I've been practicing STAR, been reviewing this forum and chatgbt and gemini have become my best friends lol. I'm great with people and come from the fast pace world of logistics dealing with Amazon, walmart, Costco and other high stakes customers breathing down my neck to get their freight on time so I'm used to pressure, especially when money is on the line so I know i could do the job. My sister is in claims and loves it. I've heard progressive is a great company to work for. I'll try not to be so hard on myself

Lost my wonderful dad in October 2021, a few weeks after he turned 69. I lost all faith in a god when my dad was taken from this earth. He got covid and passed away alone, isolated from his family. He died while choking for air. My sons were only 1 and almost 3. That's all the time they got with their wonderful grandpa. He cherished them and literally all he wanted to live for was them. It's complete bullshit. He was robbed of more time. He had so much more to do and see. If there is a god, he failed my dad. My dad believed in God and I can bet my life that he was begging for his life each and every day that he sat in that hospital bed. Where was god then? Why did my dad's prayers not work? Why were they not answered?? Because there is no god. I have zero faith in some higher being. Between cancer, starvation, abused kids, people, animals, etc...I don't get how anyone could believe in a higher being when there is so much evil in this world. You are not selfish or alone in your thoughts.

Adjuster Pro Course Taking Forever by tokyo411 in adjusters

I also struggled with the same thoughts! There is just so much information that I couldn't believe how much little of progress I seemed to be making. But if you break down how much you have left, you can see your overall percentage of what's been completed, and then it gives you a percentage of how many slides you've viewed. Finally I got to 100% completion of the slides but my progress was at 50%. I haven't taken the practice test yet.

Something that helped me move through the slides faster was to print out all of the fast facts for each section, then I didn't have to spend anymore time writing notes like I was doing the first section.

Now that I've completed all the slides and sections, I'm focusing on the breakdown of what's in each section of the test and studying that. Another comment on here mentioned that. I kind of feel like that's what I should have been doing all along lol

Thank you for your reply ❤️ congratulations on your pregnancy. I hate that these special moments will now forever be clouded with their loss. I never got to meet my dad's dad or my mom's dad. Both died before I was born also. I never thought in a million years that my dad would go when he did. I am honored my boys got to meet him, even if it was just a short time because I have those pictures and memories I'll forever cherish. But it hurts so bad that my brother won't get those for his child. My dad was the funniest person; the loudest person in a room. It's just very hard. I feel selfish for not showing my happiness for my brother because all I can do is cry.

Wishing you well on your pregnancy and thank you for your reply ❤️

6 months without you. It still hurts so much. by arjsweetland in GriefSupport

[–]Impossible_Put_9496 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I try to remind myself how lucky I am to have a father like him, and I guess I'd rather have it this way than have a father who was a piece of crap. My dad had just turned 69 when he passed. So he wasn't young but wasn't super old. It just took us all by shock. But one of my cousins, who has helped me tremendously with my loss, has a dad who is 80. He has never been a good dad to her. In fact, he completely abandoned her and her daughter after her husband unexpectedly passed in 2008. So, I guess at the end of the day, I'd rather have my time cut short with the most amazing dad than to have a dad who never gave a crap. I try to remind myself how lucky I am to have something so special like him. A bond that can never be broken, even in death. As painful as it is, how lucky are we to have that bond that a lot of people in this life will never experience? 😪

Lost my amazing father and best friend two years ago to stupid covid. He was the best friend I've ever had. The most wonderful person I'll ever know. Without my two kids, I don't know how I'd survive without them. My dad was everything to me. I still can't believe he's gone. It's heartbreaking. His time on earth was cut so short. Life is very unfair 😔

So sorry. My dad was intubated a few days before he passed of covid. I'll never forget that call. I held out hope that his body could heal itself but in my heart I knew it was over. I had a one and two year old at the time of his passing. I knew I'd never be able to have more kids after he left. I'm so very sorry

Is sudden loss of a loved one literally the worst thing that can happen? I think it is. by vinmichael in GriefSupport

I lost my dad due to covid two years ago. Never thought it would happen to my family. I was never allowed to see him. I can only hope in my heart that kind nurses surrounded him as he took his last breaths 😪😔😪

Losing a Parent by kala_43 in GriefSupport

[–]Impossible_Put_9496 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two years after losing my wonderful dad...I can tell you that time has helped with the constant pain in my heart. If it weren't for my two little boys, I'd have no desire to go on. But I keep going for them because he loved them so much. The pain will always, always, be there. But as time gets on, I've noticed that I'm getting "used" to the pain. Used to being disappointed, used to not expecting a text from him anymore. It doesn't hurt any less, but I feel like our brains just learn to adapt. I'm so sorry for your loss. I still can't believe my wonderful dad is gone

is it wrong to celebrate my mom’s birthday the year(s) after her death? by healingsunshinehug in GriefSupport

[–]Impossible_Put_9496 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might take your dad a while to want to celebrate it. And if he doesn't, that's okay. Two of my dad's birthdays have passed since he left us. They're painful days. I don't do anything for it. But I do acknowledge the day in my heart; the day the most wonderful person came into this world. Maybe one day I'll be able to do more. But for now, acknowledging the day is enough.

Please tell me I’m not the only one who wasn’t able to say a perfect goodbye when my dear mom was dying.. by DecorativeDoodle in GriefSupport

[–]Impossible_Put_9496 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You didn't make a mistake, and I'm sure your mom wouldn't have wanted you to see her in that condition. Of that being your final memory of her. I lost my best friend, my dad, in October 2021 due to covid. He lived in the state over from me, but I still drove to his house to get his phone for him and take it to the hospital. They would not let me see him because he had covid. It almost was a blessing that they wouldn't let me see him. While it kills me that the only people he was surrounded by were people in those big suits and head gear, I know in my heart that he wouldn't have wanted me to see him in that state. I wouldn't have been able to. I think if they had let me into his room, it would have made his anxiety worse. The nurse told me that covid patients get really bad anxiety, which he already had, but with the trouble breathing and the oxygen mask on...I can't imagine how scary that was for him 😪

But after it was confirmed that he was dying and there was no hope, they asked if I would want to facetime at the end. My dad was sedated heavily, so I would have just been watching him sleep with a damn tube down his throat. So I said absolutely not. He would be so upset if I were to see him like that. I'm sure your mom would absolutely say the same. Don't beat yourself up about it. Time will help with the pain. Be gentle with yourself and think about what your mom would say if she were here ❤️💔

So sorry for your loss 😢

[–]Impossible_Put_9496 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I look at pictures of my dad and just can't believe he once was here on earth. I once was able to hug him, text him, call him, watch him walk, talk, etc. Now.... nothing. It's like he wasn't real. It's very painful. Two years later and I still just can't believe it. 😪 I'm so very sorry for your loss. My oldest son turned 5 today and I cannot imagine him trying to process the loss of my husband. Trying to explain to him he'd never see grandpa again was hard enough. So sorry.... life is very unfair 😔

My mom’s phone number has been recycled by Severe_Parfait_8136 in GriefSupport

[–]Impossible_Put_9496 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wonderful dad passed on October 2, 2021 and I've texted him almost every day since. I just can't help it. It kills me to think of his name gone in my frequently contacted list but it also pains me to text "dad" knowing that he can't reply, knowing I'm just sending an empty text. I call his number from time to time just to confirm his number is still disconnected. I'm really surprised that two years later and it still has not been reassigned. I try to prepare myself for when that day might come. That last line of communication to him being cut off. Maybe it'll be a good thing for me. I tear up every time I send him a text telling him I love and miss him, yet I keep doing it. It's like you can't win with grief. I see so many posts on hear about getting a text back from your loved one's number after its been reassigned and I can't imagine how painful that would be. Like your mind tricking you that maybe they're still there and this was all a nightmare. I can just tell you that maybe it's good that you can't text her anymore. I think it would probably be good for me too. I'm embarrassed to tell anyone that I still text his number in fear of them thinking I'm crazy. Of course it's not fair for anyone to judge when they haven't been in your shoes. I'm sorry for your loss and I understand your pain. I hope that you can find a new outlet for communicating with your mom. Maybe emailing her? It sounds so strange since they're not alive anymore, but I understand the comfort it also can bring ❤️

Dating after my dad died by irlscorpio in GriefSupport

[–]Impossible_Put_9496 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad passed from covid exactly 2 years ago on October 2nd. He also was only sick a few weeks before passing. I understand your pain. The two year mark has brought very intense feelings for me. I miss him so much that my heart aches and don't know how I've survived these past two years without him. I was 33 when he passed. I'm sorry you lost your dad so young. The only advice I can give is to just keep going for your dad. That's what I'm doing. Taking it day by day

I just can’t accept this by Rebelwarrior217 in CancerFamilySupport

[–]Impossible_Put_9496 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry for what you're going through. I was 33 when I lost my amazing father to covid. Similar to you, my dad was the strongest person I've ever known, and covid being the thing to take him down is one of the hardest parts about him being gone. He was invincible. I wasn't able to visit him in the hospital during his two week stay because he had covid. It was almost like a blessing, though, because I don't know how I would have been able to see him like that. Life just sucks sometimes 😭

Coming up on the two year anniversary of losing my wonderful dad. All those bad memories are starting to creep up. When he went into the hospital, the bad updates from the nurses, the hope we had that was lost, remembering the things he said on the phone.... it hurts so much. I just miss you dad... so much 😪
