Our blog has been dormant for a long time. This is a tell-tale sign that life had become repetitive. There wasn't much newsworthy going on and then I got out of the habit of posting altogether. Facebook probably had something to do with this too. It's time to change resurrect the blog. Why? Because life is not repetitive anymore.
Almost two years ago, I was told my job of 4 years was being moved to Rochester, NY. They kept me on for nearly two years when I finally said "Enough". In the meantime, I prepared for another career along with Larry who also needed a change. (That's another whole story.)
We are both now independent adjusters working primarily in the catastrophic claims adjusting world.
We began with getting licensed and then studying for and passing several certification courses. Larry started in June of last year with a deployment to Minnesota for several weeks. He came home for a couple weeks and then headed for Michigan. After that he came home for a couple weeks and then answered a call for a deployment in Dallas. That was in October and he's still there today. He's technically working in a non-catastrophic environment with no known end in sight.
After I left my job at the end of January, I waited only 3 weeks before getting a call to work the winter storms as an in-office adjuster in Atlanta. I'm still here.
Right now, Larry and I both work 60 hours a week. Being only two hours from home allows me to run home on Sundays. Larry made a quick visit home a few weeks ago but that was his first visit since October.
More posts to come!
