I know. WORK.<\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
So that’s fun.<\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
I did spend the afternoon doing my two pickups and a thrift store, then dropping stuff off at my shop.<\/p>\n
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…<\/p>\n
The rest of today will be eaten by other needs. House and yard stuff. Cleanup. Scrapping. So much fun. <\/p>\n
Stack. It’s less work.<\/p>\n
