Insurance troubles again. See, had an at-fault accident in 2000, June. My insurance starts at the very end of August, like last year. Now, from what I was told by my agent last year, accidents go off the record after 3 years. But, on my policy, it still shows up. My agent is out of town til the 18th, so I called the generic customer service, where the really rude woman told me it was...all of a sudden, 3 years and 3 months. I'm one month off.
So, I'll wait til the 18th to call my insrance agent, and try to argue the point. If I get this taken off, my insurance payments go down to something more healthy. I can pay the down payment at the end of the month, but it's going to be a crunch, and it upsets me.
Which is what I will end up doing. I never really win.
I feel buried, all the time. I have bills, and it's not like I have no job. I work for a living; show up, do my job, all that stuff. But I don't think I'm ever going to feel like it will be enough.

How I spent my morning: Asking a visiting tech questions about some of our office products, in a small demo. Mostly about some of the newer products, and which parts are which and how we can see what a customer is deascribing. Wasn't too bad, and it got me away from the phones for a bit. I think we're doing more this afternoon, after I get back from lunch at 3.
I kinda forgot about that this morning, and since it's relatively informal, it's not like I was rushing in there late. And let me save this file as I start to hear thunder...
I caught myself watching American Pie 2 last night, just out of randomness. Not my usual kind of comedy, even if some of it was funny to me. "Yeah, and this one time...here, this guy had some cookies..."
But I digress. There was a point in the movie wghere there's a party at a beach house. One of the main characters gets upset, and he ends up running out of the party onto the beach. It happens. Been there, in my own way. But what got to me, what really stretched my suspension of disbelief, was that his friends dropped whatever (and whoever, in one case) they were doing and went out to find the missing friend, and talk to him.
Am I just getting cynical, now? From having been there, almost everyone I've ever known doesn't even think of doing this. This happens, and people's usual reaction is 'let them be alone, don't ask, and when they come back don't ask what's wrong and pretend they were never upset'. What causes...either mode of thinking? I never understand it.
I know, I know, it's just a movie. It just got to me nonetheless.
