The post whore thread.

I got a new job, so I am switching departments. That means that I got my last claim last Friday, and I have all this week off to get caught up on my work and close all my claims. It is absolutely wonderful. My phone rang only a handful of times today. I start in my new department next week, but I don't go to official training until the middle of August. So I've got about 1-2 weeks of online training, then just riding along with other people in my department for pretty much the rest of the summer. Plus I get to work from home now so no more driving through shit traffic every morning to the Tech Center! *Maybe.

Sorry I can't complain about long work days with you guys. :D

Congrats man, that sounds like a huge move up! I'm ready to move on to something else.

Thank you! It's technically a lateral move, but it's a lateral move in the direction that I wanted, and I get a company car and to work from home. I'll actually be in the field, so I'll be driving a lot more, but it's different to drive all over the state(s) for work, rather spending an hour (at least) each way in traffic every day.

As long as you didn't take a big pay cut, that sure sounds like a move in the right direction to me! I would love to work from home. I'll get there some day.

Company car and work from home, i'd take a small pay cut.

My company car is cooler than yours... Guaranteed.

I kind of did. I have to pay $150 a month for the car. That pays for all the insurance, maintenance, gas, etc. If I don't pay that, I'd have to claim the vehicle value on my taxes. So there is no question that it is a good deal, but realistically, it is money out of my pocket, and a raise is v what I really need. I worked out that I probably spend around $130 a month just getting to work, so this will likely balance out. Plus I can drive the vehicle whenever and wherever I want. Some guys even sell their personal vehicles
