Why why whyyyy have you been paying for her insurance? D:

And if your friend said she'd like to be just friends, she probably means it, and she's probably just acting like that because for some people, that kind of behaviour is just natural! So yeah, just talk to her.

And she should totally pay you for that, seriously, if I did that to someone, i would pay them extra for putting them out, seriously, people need to learn that niceness cuts both ways, if someone's nice to you, you should be nice back to them, if you take advantage of people, you need to eat a dick, all of them.

It could be because clutch is her employer, perhaps?

I dunno dude, it sounds like you need a vacation. Maybe you can take her boyfriend to the wedding.

This. I forget I've been away forever. We currently cover half our employees medical insurance, but because she was not going to have an income for a couple months, I offered to pay the other half. She had promised to return to work, and she even said she would do some of her work from home in the time between giving birth and returning to her job.

As for older woman, she basically grabbed my dick through my pants while watching Machete the other night so suspicions confirmed!

Wedding Fail Friend has offered to pay the $100. My credit card offers travel cancellation insurance though, and I told her I'd take her up on the money only if they rejected the claim.

FRESH SHIT DAY STORY: Two of my trucks have been broken into so far this week, one in Vegas and one in Miami. Total value of equipment stolen? $29,000.

Not insured, eh? Damn. I don't know which one is less surprising.

We're insured out the ass, but we've had so many claims this year the insurer is considering dropping us. Unless I can find another company to cover us next year, my company may have to pay these claims just to stay insured.

Are you guys just a statistical anomaly? You make it sound like you're victims of a disproportionate amount of theft.

It's not just theft; we have had a disproportionate number of accident claims this year as well. In nearly all cases our drivers were found not at fault, but that only matters so far as the law is concerned. Bear in mind that many/most automotive insurance policies only cover up to $20,000-50,000. To give an example, when a woman hit one of our trucks earlier this year, she died in the crash and left us a totaled vehicle. Turns out she only had $50,000 in coverage, while the damages were in excess of $200,000. Lather, rinse, repeat, and suddenly we're uninsurable.

Are you aware that R2 is going to sacrifice his first born son to get rid of the horrible daemons that are plaguing him? Have you considered this?

I can't think of any other measures that would stop the entire goddamned world from hating your company. Fuck.

It's not so bad. I've got a bottle of Black Label nestled in my desk drawer. Turns out liquor is a much better tonic than just rubbing your temples.

OH BUT ALSO I've now started getting phone calls on my cell phone outside of work hours. Not sure which idiot gave out my number, but today I awoke to a call from a client at four in the morning. That's not so bad, except that it followed hot on the heels of another call I got at ONE A.M.

If you don't mind me asking; who's your insurance carrier?

Happy to PM this if you really want to know, but I would hate my post to turn up in a google search and give them any more reason to drop us.

So twenty hours of sleep, cookies, internet porn and posting things I see on Facebook to the boards and vice versa so I look like I find cool things on the internet hasn't helped as much as I would like, so I'm venting my minor problems here.

The last two days I was out looking at apartments and visiting friends. None of the places I had gone to see worked out but I had a lot of friends I hadn't seen in a while tell me they would help look into a few leads they had heard of so I felt like it wasn't a complete dead end. Last night I hung out with a small group and like the losers we are we went to drink in the woods. Since I had a headache and knew I had to drive once I got back to my town I ended up being quite sober while they were all spectacularly drunk. Putting up with drunk gay friends flirting hardcore with me (I have enough gay / bi male friends that I'm used to most stuff, but having two drunk guys trying to pretend fall and rub up against me with every step is a little much) wasn't exactly making my life seem awesome so I split ways to catch a bus.

Over the course of the next three hours I waited at two bus stops and three train stations. I had four guys tell me they just got out of prison and needed something to help get by and two guys straight out tell me to run my pockets. Bullshit aside I catch my train and get home, where the real fun starts. First off by having to go down four train cars before I got to one with open doors because apparently they just don't bother opening all the doors at the end of the night if they don't think anyone is back there. I get home and all the doors / windows are locked. Considering that's never happened before I figured it was my mom's passive-aggressive way of saying "hey, my trip was fine, now get out of the house again."

Anyway, two in the morning and I climb the roof of my house so I can get in on the second floor where fortunately I was right to assume she didn't bother to lock anything. Finally getting in the house and getting ready to pass out, I turn on my computer, only to have my power source literally explode.

So now I'm sitting on my couch, realizing that I felt too tired to even post in the thread about how outrageously tired getting a good amount of sleep every night, thinking about how at some point I'm going to have to figure out how to give a shit again.

Wait, insurance companies can just drop you if you cost too much? What the heck is the point of insurance, then? They can just bail out as soon as they lose out in the situation? That's crap!

Have you had a decent time with your circle of friends in the past like six months? Maybe it's time for some new friends.

If things aren't working out or aren't working out near well enough, make some changes. Try some new things, places, people.

Not really a shit day, because it's not really bad at all, but we don't have a general "How is your day/night going?" thread.

Some dirty ferrin scammer tried to run up my credit card for a few hundred bucks two days ago, though oddly it was refunded a day later (yesterday). Must've pulled my info from some onine transaction or another (I deal with pretty reputable sellers when buying stuff online, but that's never a 100% guarantee of course).

Oh well, have to get a new card, minor hassle, but not too bad. I never worry too much about this kind of thing because fraudlent charges are always covered here (and in this case they didn't even stick).

Can't you at least pretend it ruined your day so it would fit into this thread?

we don't have a general "How is your day/night going?" thread.

So start one.  Or don't, because it would be the most dull and inane thing ever.  Either way.

Okay, here's a legit post for this thread: I went to the dentist to get some use out of my dental benefits before they expire. In one day the Dentist went from "Doesn't look like you have any cavities" to "Actually you have nearly a dozen, all hidden between your teeth - we're going to literally max out your dental coverage*."

* This will still cost me $400-$500

Yay.
