Indiana Department of Transportation just sprayed my car with about a billion gallons of salt water! Who prepares the freeway for ice at 75 mph?! 'Hi, look at my shiny yellow tank truck cruising down the road. Surprise! Let me dump half the Atlantic on you.' |

They say that nerve gas smells like garlic. I wonder what deadly chemical, whose cloud I just drove through, smells like mushrooms fried in butter? |

It's like 11:17PM. Sara is sleeping and I'm awake trying to come up with a good excuse to avoid driving to Lafayette tomorrow. Although I probably should, just to check the mail at my bachelor pad. |

I should be working on claims but my head is spinning from to many attorneys calling me this morning.
Remember in Pulp Fiction when they accidentally shoot the guy in the head and need someone to clean up their mess? Well it seems I have been made "The Wolf" of insurance claims. If it's something someone else f-ed up, if it's nasty, sticky, smelling and potentially can get us in to A LOT of trouble they send it to me.
Thanks, don't do me any favors.
"Get it straight buster - I'm not here to say please, I'm here to tell you what to do and if self-preservation is an instinct you possess you'd better fucking do it and do it quick! I'm here to help - if my help's not appreciated then lotsa luck, gentlemen." |

I'm driving through Decatur, IN when I see this sign on a Days Inn hotel. "The Only American Owned Hotel In Decatur!".
I haven't been able to decide yet, is that good cause people want to support "american" businesses or is it bad cause you look like a racist bastard? |

I'm on my way to Chicago for a surprise training they sprung on us yesterday. 12 hours of driving to attend a 1.5 hour training and mingle with my co-workers at a "pizza social". Good times.
For the last uhm hour and a half now I've been sitting stuck in traffic on I70 westbound, some accident outside of Spiceland. And now some jackass just plowed in to the stopped cars at the back of this traffic jam. All emergency vehicles pulled out to go there which now means nobody is working the accident up front and we're stuck between two accidents. This day is going to suck hardcore. |

Some guy in England gave his girl a new beach front home for Valentines Day. Personally I was stuck in Chicago and got to talk to Sara on the phone while she was driving to work, and I had strict orders this year not to order flowers and stuff. So Happy Valentines Day baby, I'll be home Friday. |

So like every other semi decent hotel out there my room has a bathroom. Toilet, sink, shower and a door to close to keep any unpleasant odors out, or in. The bathroom in my room has an added feature, the door locks itself if you close the door from the outside.
First time it happened I called the front desk, they told me they'd send an "engineer" up. The "engineer" was a janitor with a screwdriver, he opened the door for me and told me not to close it again.
Of course this wasn't good enough for me and after about 3 seconds of investigation I figured out that the genius who installed the little rubber stop that prevents the door from slamming in to the wall when you open it, had put the thing right by the door handle. You open the door and the rubber stop presses the button that locks the door, you close the door and you're SOL, unless you're an engineer and have access to a screwdriver. |

In the first 30 minutes of work today I paid out close to $164,000.00. There should be a limit of payments you can do in a day. When you reach say 100k you should just get to go home. If that was the case, in the last year I've paid out enough money to take the rest of my life off. |

Embassy Suites in Lombard, IL bragged about how they catered to the business traveler. Then how come the room doesn't have a desk, I have to pay $9.95 per day for the internet and the whole hotel is PACKED with kids who run around screaming and playing in the elevators?
There should be a mechanism that opens a hatch in the elevator floor if you PRESS EVERY SINGLE DAMNED BUTTON!!!!! |

Yeah yeah, I know I'm posting like 30 seconds after my last post but whatever.
We're getting a new roof today right, the crew is here and they are currently tearing off the old roof. I've seen it done a billion times before but I've never been inside the house when it's happening.
HOLY HELL! It sounds like the entire Lord of the Dance team is up there busting out some mad river dance. I'll be surprised if one of these guys doesn't end up in our living room before the end of the day! |

Caribbean cruise with VIP treatment, butler, champagne and new friends = good.
End of cruise back in Columbus with 32 degrees, responsibilities and work = bad
Doing a good job taking care of business in Chicago = good.
New guy hired in Chicago quitting after 1 hour = bad.
Being offered the job in Chicago = good.
No we're not moving to Chicago. If I take the job I'll end up getting a house in the windy city and week commute back and forth. Can you say airline miles? |

8 mother loving degrees in Chicago today, that with the windchill is like 400 below. That's cold even with Swedish standards. Come to think of it, I think the address where I'm staying is somewhere between Antarctica and the dark side of the moon.
Biloxi never had days like this, then again Biloxi smelled like feces and sucked in general. I'll stick with the fortress of solitude anytime. |

Chicago got hit with snow last night. Not like that is a new concept for the people in Chicagoland but apparently it's custom up here (like everywhere else in the US it seems) to freak out when the weather gets a little worse than 70 degrees and sunshine.
The roads were empty. The office parking lot? Yup it's empty too. Obviously the office is empty, not many people walk to work. Only place that is packed is the hotel lobby, all the flights are canceled so people are hanging out hoping for a new flight to open up.
Big gurtz to Chicago. |

29 degrees(that's just below 0 Celsius for you Swedes) and rain today. First time EVER that I'm actually happy to be in an office and not out in the field driving around. Then again, like an agent told me, I'm up to my ass in crocodiles and they have sharp teeth. |
