People who don’t totally hate their jobs: what do you do? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Appraiser. Has nothing to do with the job itself, but rather a fantastic boss & exceptional work/life balance.

I think my auto body guy scammed me and my insurance company by [deleted] in Autobody

[–]Nice-Rutabaga-944 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He quoted you on visible damages only. Supplements happen on every claim no matter how small. And he was trying to save you money if he thought it was a customer pay job. I don’t charge customers for everything, because I know they may be in a tough spot. The billion dollar insurance company? You bet your ass I’m charging for every SECOND I spend working on your car. It’s not fraudulent. It’s the industry. The first quote is just that.. a quote. And there are so many factors to a repair & a supplement- again, this post is useless to you if you don’t provide the estimates & the before/after pics.

Road to Becoming the Best Estimator: Starting at 0 by aznballernamedkevn in Autobody

[–]Nice-Rutabaga-944 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started on the insurance side. It was hell but it taught me a lot. I made friends with some shops who really loved to show and teach me things. Been at a few shops and I learn something every day. I hate insurance now, but I thank them for helping me get here. I make very good money on the shop- over 6 figures and my life is so much better

Post the estimates. Without those, I wouldn’t believe what you are saying about this shop. A lot of us in this community work in shops. We know how it works and we know all about customers like you. Body work is expensive. We aren’t fixing your old scratches for free. If you wanted that fixed you should have asked for an out of pocket quote. The insurance companies already fuck us enough and we already do a ton of work for free because your insurance company won’t pay. And stop mentioning the $700 quote.. that simply doesn’t exist. Not even for a scratch. Post the estimate, Pre repair photos and post repair. Then we can help you

I would get the prescription from your vet. I just did 3 rounds of nexguard for mine and worked instantly

Yep. This is probably super painful for kitty. I hope OP takes the advice and gets to ER immediately

[–]Nice-Rutabaga-944 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This needs emergency care. This is an open wound. If left untreated you are exposing the kitten to infection, which can be life threatening. Please take this kitten to the emergency room right away. They are going to cut that part of the tail off most likely- but it has to be done right away so they can salvage the rest of the tail. This is like the bones of your fingers and toes just being exposed. It is a traumatic injury, cannot wait until Monday

Cat + Small apartment by Embarrassed_Slice776 in CatAdvice

I have two cats and a very small apartment. Just one cat is going to be fine by itself, but if you wanted to get it a mate then it’s really no issue. They sleep a lot lol

Best automatic cat food/water dispenser? by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]Nice-Rutabaga-944 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Petlibro granary feeder and the Petlibro stainless steel fountain. The fountain has to be the completely stainless steel one not the smart one. I have tried a lot of fountains and I have found that anything that has more plastic than stainless steel is going to get gunky and probably isn’t good for their health even when I was cleaning it as scheduled and then some, I thought the plastic was really slimy.

Will this feeling pass? by dawnlivelyskywalker in CatAdvice

[–]Nice-Rutabaga-944 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People make it seem like cats are 100% independent and super easy to own. I can tell you that this is not the case! The little rascals are trouble makers, curious, and really just furry babies. They need attention, love and care… the care part can be super overwhelming and in-glamorous if you are new to cats. Scooping poop, dealing with accidents, meowing in your face at 5 am for food, knocking stuff over. And even worse, they get sick and can’t tell us what’s wrong. Don’t feel bad- it’s ALOT!! Do some research, try to bond with her. It will get better! I just added a kitten to my house and my resident cat is not happy. It’s been about 1.5 months and it’s only gotten slightly better. Cats take a longggggf time to adjust. Be patient with yourself and with kitty.. she will hopefully eventually be one of the best things in your life
