I know. WORK.
Another beautiful day, and I’m not at the BOL, I’m in Houston. At least it’s cool and clear, with low humidity. Like yesterday and the day before.
I had my whole plan yesterday get scrambled up. Of course. Ended up spending the morning on the computer ordering a new TV for my client instead of picking one up and installing it. Then I spent most of an hour on the phone trying to get my insurance claim from 2021 when I was rear-ended on the freeway by some diversity. Uninsured of course. It’s my fault it dragged out, but now I want it settled. They seem to have confused my original pics of the damage, dated from 2021, with evidence of pre-existing damage prior to the pics from their app in 2026. In fact, it’s pics of the same damage taken 5 years later, as it still hasn’t been fixed.
Luckily the lady on the phone understands there is a problem and I sent her pics of the UN-damaged truck from just a month prior to the accident. I suspect an AI is involved and was never trained on a dumb@ss taking 5 years to finish his claim for loss. In my defense, I did get a letter telling me there would be a delay in my claim while they investigated and tried to recover from the uninsured motorist. And a lot of stuff has been going on in my life and the world since then. They told me not to worry, and I didn’t– until a couple of years went by and I found the paperwork on my desk. Buried about 8 inches down.
So that’s fun.
Anyway, I’ll install my client’s TV after it gets delivered next week, and I’ll talk to another person at my insurance next week.
I did spend the afternoon doing my two pickups and a thrift store, then dropping stuff off at my shop.
Which is where I’ll be spending at least part of today. I need to keep working over there to make the room to get my storage unit emptied. I’m bleeding money that I could be spending on boat stuff, or tiny little fires, or to make smokey noise…
The rest of today will be eaten by other needs. House and yard stuff. Cleanup. Scrapping. So much fun.
Stack. It’s less work.
