high_on_rock Just curious: why the misogynistic references in an otherwise interesting story? Very, very strange.

Does that 50 hours a week include spray time? I bet you're good for 35... maybe 40 of actual work Actually, most people who whine about 60, 80, and 100 hour weeks in IT aren't really working all that time. It's all about efficiency and meeting expectations. If I can do more than the next guy in half the time - that's to my benefit. And it's not hard with so many idiots in the industry. I also get a lot more done in a shorter period than others. I've also learned to just ignore the bullshit that they tell you to do that doesn't really help anything along. I just don't do it. But I also feel that pressure thing that you may have felt at some places too...that you can't leave before any of the people who work for you or that you have to put a lot of "face time" in.

You are such a sweetie. You can borrow my car anytime! It is a little bit crunched on one side though...

That's a good thought. Do you know anyone I can call?

Yeah. Good point. Worse than a friend, it was a family member; so I am stuck with them no matter what. Thanks for the advice

five seconds.

Good advice (that I didn't quote for this post--but I am going to follow). And this is where I am right now--telling the person it's only right they pay me this increased expense. She is arguing with me about this, saying that there wouldn't be an increase if I hadn't already had tickets on my record. I said that was immaterial, and that even if I hadn't, I'd still be unpleased b/c her accident would have taken that bit of cushion anyway. Also, this increase will probably be in effect for three years (then it goes off the record). So am I right to ask for this amount?

I soloed the stairs at work yesterday. Oh wait, it was just that little spot where the carpet meets the tile. But there was a definite step up there.

His original question included the specification of a weapon his wife might be comfortable firing. Hence, the consideration of recoil. I think there is a difference between "comfortable" and "afraid of". Comfortable comes after hundreds of rounds which, odds are, the wife won't do. I would say that as long as she is familiar with the gun, has shot it, and knows it won't buck like mule, a 12-ga. would be an ideal weapon. That is a big assumption. I would think any woman married to Choada would be very interested in learning how to kill a man.

And I am going to call you Jesus Minx all day.

Jesus Minx, read my fucking posts before you reply to them!!!

In the same time period, we are working more hours than we used to (even though automation of everything was supposed to free up our time) and more and more of our jobs are sedentary. I know as I get older and my career progresses, I am spending more and more time in a seat. And my job is more stressful, so I am at work more. Traffic is worse, so I can spend up to two and a half hours on the road a day (although it isn't usually that bad-more like an hour and a half). I have less energy to work out and less time to cook healthy. I can understand what is happening to people--especially people who don't have healthy habits before their lives get to the point of craziness where they have no personal time/energy. And the work/life balance thing that companies sell us is bullshit. They don't care about anyone's life until they are so sick they can't come into the office.

probably, since it sounds like regardless of what you do, they will be paying 50% of the damages on the other guys car. That pretty well bites What type of an accident was it? I had minor fender bender a couple years ago (well, bent my fender, ripped hers off) where the insurance ended up finding no fault and didn't increase my rates. Of course I was hit while stopped at yield sign, and somehow a 3rd party arbiter still ended finding it was still my fault wtf? The whack job was talking on her cell phone driving around the 1 and 1/2 lane wide streets in the u-district and ran into me. I'm not annoyed at all though Yes, I have asked all these questions of the insurance people. I get two different answers from two different people whenever I get the answer "I am not the person who covers that area". The accident caused quite a bit of damage, so the other person is not going to pay out of pocket. But again, their insurance has to go through my insurance, as well as the other person's insurance going through my insurance. I can't see a way out of getting a claim against my insurance. Obviously, my first and main question to them is if/why this is affecting my rates when I was not a part of the accident. I am wondering about others' experiences in this situation. Did your rates actually go up? If so, by how much? Was there a way to fight this? What if I change insurance companies, how long does this take to catch up in the system? Are there other ways around this?

You are totally right, insurance follows the car. The driver does have their own insurance, but they said I have to go through my insurance then that person's insurance recoups from mine (what a crazy system, eh?). But that isn't quite the thing I am grappling with. I am upset that my insurance has said that my rates will go up b/c of this. Mind you, I have other tickets on my insurance and have no goodwill with them. But still, this one wasn't my fault and so I am struggling to understand why I am being penalized by this. any words of wisdom?

He's not a noob. Remember, he has extensive hunting experience. He gave it up when he was ten.

Can anyone tell me which of these answers is correct: 1. In WA, car insurance follow the car 2. In WA, car insurance follows the driver 3. In WA, car insurance may follow one, the other, or both depending on the company you insure with. Here's the scoop: I loaned my car to someone, they crashed it. Cops came and assigned 50/50 blame to the other driver and to the driver of my car. No ticket was issued, a case number was assigned. Now my insurance says I am going to take a hit on my insurance record even though I wasn't driving or in the car. I can't believe this is right. I understood that the driver takes the hit on thier insurance record no matter what car they are driving. I have also called the other person's insurance (they (the driver and the insurance) are based in ID) and they can't seem to answer my questions either. I've also called my company back with the following question: If my insurance follows my car, I would like to just sell the car w/o fixing it and forgo the bad mark on my record. No one can figure out what to do with that (no one can answer if that will save my record if it does turn out that it will be fucked as a result of the other person driving my car). Has anyone here been through this recently in this state? Or, any atty here care to venture an answer? I am completely fed up with these insurance assholes, no one knows anything and I get two different answers from two differnt people at the insurance place.

The bears are armed though. Someone should really tell Choda that getting a few bears to man their cannon in front of his home is the best form of home protection.

I can't believe it took this long to get this to spray.

No kidding! With 7 kids, Bug knows what he's doing. Have fun, and I wish I could keep up with your kid!

heh heh heh, his hand is on my leg. heh eheh heh. handjob. heh heh

Gravity is not your friend

Sure. Just stand there and do nothing. Well, that's exactly what you did. Right? Actually, I argued with my boyfriend about whether we should do anything Sorry to hear you and your boyfriend aren't getting along.

Sure. Just stand there and do nothing. Well, that's exactly what you did. Right? Oh wait, you went to get your glasses. I almost forgot that dramatic part of your heart-wrenching story.

Here's a suggestion: GET OVER IT
