I think this is every Friday for 99.99% of the population. Whoever said "you fight fire with fire" was absolutely wrong. You fight fire with water - if someone is a d!ck to me, I'll be a bigger d!ck back and ensure they feel/look stupid.

Yup, not just geico, I think anytime we’ve switched ins companies, they wanted to see the cars the first time. Iirc, just at their office not like at a rentacar place tho.

We’ve been with our (major carrier) for many many years and all our **** is bundled. Not worth the possible pennies saved for 6 months to go Thu the trouble of constantly swapping. There’re all expensive so just go with the one that offers the best coverage.

Have you seen the news, 90% of accidents in CFLA are hit and runs, plus massive amounts of flooding claims from Ian last year, that plus inflation is driving it.

Did you ever get to the point of salary negotiations? Overqualified means they’re worried they’ll have to pay you more starting out and you’ll expect bigger raises sooner. Barely qualified means lower starting salary, less likely to push for raises faster and more likely to stick around longer and not jump ship for something better sooner.

Good luck man. :tup:

Went on 7 Zoom interviews within the past 3 weeks - 3 with Company A and 4 with Company B, with 2 of them being back to back within minutes of each other.

Got 2 rejay emails today. Why any company would want to waste time, more importantly mine, with additional interviews if they were not going to move forward with me is beyond me. Company B at least had the balls to send me a personalized email stating that I was "overqualified", which was also brought up in the 2nd interview. I guess they're looking for someone that barely qualifies and hopes that employee can deliver.

Back to the drawing board :ughdance:

Had liberty mutual bundle for many years. Never had a claim. Tornado went through the neighborhood and took a couple of shingles with it. Called ML and they sent somebody out to inspect. Insisted I needed a new roof and he “knew a guy”. Cost me $5,000 deductible on a $24,000 roof. Got the check and a cancellation letter in the same envelope. Insurance fraud is real and it’s costly.

Not with that attitude it ain't.

I don't get how half the country is under ice and the other half is baking. Groundhog Phil promised an additional 6 weeks of winter, and 90-degree weather ain't winter, esp. when winter season officially ends March 20th.

On a side note, don't you have a BMW payment to make?

And $3K? Your car payment is greater than a mortgage payment.

I can work under pressure, under stress, under icy cold conditions, under the direction of idiot managers, with idiot co-workers, with idiot clients. But, I will not work under hot@$$ weather. Whenever the office AC goes out, without question my boss knows that I will go home for the day and won't come back until it's fixed.
