Mara Jade Skywalker Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I have a pool now.Yay! I love having a pool in Pennsylvania. I bet it's even better in Florida! We've been moving stuff over to the new house one room at a time and rewarding ourselves with swimming. Today I have to wait for the internet people so I'm going to read in the pool while I wait. I have the Full House theme song stuck in my headWhatever happened to predictability? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I have an interview on Thursday for a job with a different company. If I get it, I may just walk out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Everyone in Central Ohio says "go to Nationwide if you want to work in insurance" but I said "I'll take the huge raise and go to a smaller company" And now I hate every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destiny Skywalker Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I have a pool now.Yay! I love having a pool in Pennsylvania. I bet it's even better in Florida!It's like a requirement. When we were looking at moving back, I was scoping out houses and only considering ones that had a pool or at least space for it. Only dang way to cool off.

Cerina Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 No.. **** those bastards. Nationwide.We have Nationwide. Or we did when we had a car to insure. They've been great. And seriously fuck Allstate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destiny Skywalker Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I've had Nationwide as long as I've had insurance coverage. Our rates have just risen through the years despite making one pretty low $ claim. It might be time to go shopping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms. Spam Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 USAA for me! Coming up on 25 years as a member. The recent hail storm is going to affect my rate for homeowners for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 You might be surprised. Although I know Texas has had some awful weather the past couple year, so if you've had multiple weather claims, it probably will. We had our entire siding and roof replaced because of storm damage and our rate still went down. USAA is a great company to have, less great to be involved with if you've been hit by someone with USAA. And I can't keep up with my current job. It has really brought my bipolar to the forefront and has kept me from doing good work. Constant changes (4 desk moves in less than 6 months, procedure changes every week, frequently without even being told about them, much less how to do them) and an overwhelming workload. I'm thinking about requesting a reassignment in case the interview doesn't go well, or it takes a while to hear back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeygirl Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I have State Farm and ADORE. I've been with them since I was 16. Never had one problem and they've always had my back in every way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms. Spam Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I hate that with desk changes and constant policy change, Brando. Even without bipolar it is like extra stress. I try to keep everything the same in classroom procedure all week because kids adjust but it can create issues (I had an autistic kid last year). When I was let go from my job with Cici's Pizza and went to work in a call center taking check orders (which is still do part-time) I was going to stick with it for two years so I could leverage my way into USAA as an entry trainee for insurance because they pay very very very well. The bi-annual bonus is crazy. People buy cars based on those bonuses. They'd pay for training and then you had to pass your exam and you could start taking insurance calls. But I went back to teaching. I went to a charter school which helped me with my issues concerning some teaching policies I hated. I still dream of owning my own restaurant and think about dishes and decorating but I also like a steady paycheck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I just requested a job reassignment under the ADA. Basically now they have the option of giving me a different job or proving I'm not qualified. I am still trying to get something else entirely, but I can't keep doing what I'm doing.

Mara Jade Skywalker Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Cat Lady wants to make an offer. Of course it's a lot lower than list price. So we're going to counter for midway and hope she takes it. We already closed on our new house so I'd like to get rid of this one ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driver Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I can't stop thinking that I bought one house in LA but apparently I could have bought a subdivision in Texas. One is better for my life, but the other really would have worked for my starting a cult life goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeygirl Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 The house I bought with my first ex-husband is now worth well over a million dollars. We bought it in '86 - ish for $86K and sold it for $176K in '93. They built a whole 'nother million-dollar home in its yard and cut off most of the original house's view and it's STILL worth a mil and a quarter. At the time, he whined about me filing for divorce, saying I was "killing (his) retirement". Turns out he was right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope they take it seriously and get you moved asap. Or even better that you get a new position somewhere else quickly. I hope you're looking back on this in life's rearview mirror very soon!

Guest Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Thanks! I feel really good about both happening. The head of HR personally called me at one point to ask what they could do to accommodate me, so that's a good sign. I sent a letter back when I first had to take time off. So either they really like me or they just want someone, and either way those are pretty good odds With the new job interview, they skipped every pre-interview step, so either they REALLY liked my application or they're in serious need. The posting was only up for a few days, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Jade Skywalker Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I hope you're able to get a new job, too. Work stress is the worst. My husband has been under so much stress at work and I keep telling him he needs to go over his boss's head and demand that they get more help (he works in customer support). His health is starting to suffer, so hopefully he will listen to me now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I have a stomach bug that has kept me puking for days. But I kept it in long enough to rock the interview. I'll be shocked if there's no offer, just comes down to salary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
