Got Problems?

[Kenny B]

So in the traveling for a living sucks category I am out of the country in Canada and have my laptop bag and the clothes on my back. The driver that took us from the airport to downtown forgot to secure the back door to the Sprinter van and my luggage (as well as the luggage for the Chairman of my company) fell out on a highway somewhere in Toronto. Lost both pairs of my prescription Oakley glasses, two Masters polos, a few pairs of nice pants and a brand new Tumi bag. Lovely f&@$ing day.

Lovely!  Just lovely, eh?

 

How do you not know that the back door to the van is open??

No clue.  I almost strangled the driver with his neck tie last night.  Went shopping this morning and was able to get some jeans and necessities.  Shirts apparently don't come in large mammal sizes in Toronto.  The hotel at least was able to launder and press my shirt in about an hour for me.  Will say that the Trump International in Toronto has been overly helpful to me on this trip.

[Jmikecpa]

And still no return call from the company that lost my bag. They are not going to like the call they get from my General Counsel on Monday....her insistence and not mine.

I got to put one of our cats down tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. It's going to be a sad day. Molly is 18 years old and has lived a good life never the less it's a heart breaker.

Very sad....

 

I was never a cat person growing up (we had dogs) but later on, after I bought my first house, good friends of mine who lived nearby brought over a housewarming gift - a stray that hung around their backyard and they took care or, and I took care of for them when they traveled.

 

She was about 4 when I got her and I had her for just over 15 years.... She was very friendly and super affectionate and CUUUTE! ..part Maine Coon and part Tabby and part (???). Very dog-like, too .. sorta trained (for a cat) but would come back in when I.opened the back door and whistled for her!

 

Anyway, I was tearing up the whole ride out to the "place" and during the whole time there and during the ride back....

 

Loved that kitty!

 

Very very much dreading the inevitable days when I'll have to take each of our two current dogs (5 and 9, soon) on their last car ride.....

 

Feel and share your pain, OG.

Thanks buddy...   Yea I was shedding more than a few tears yesterday.  They become a true member of the family and it's a punch in the gut when they leave this world.

Was going to play today but after 2 1/2" of rain overnight that pretty much ruined the idea. One of the city courses is closed & front 9 of another. Others are cart path only & muddy mess

I feel your pain. Too foggy here to play. Don't have any yellow spheres to hit.

My rant for the day is I almost cut off the tip of my left hand ring finger. Not that I need it for gripping the club, or anything .. my left hand is already weak from an old injury.... OY!!!!!

[Jmikecpa]

Sat on a plane for two hours only to have to get off, go back to the gate and watch the flight get cancelled.  Hoping tomorrow's flight is better....or actually leaves.

What is the deal with airlines as of the past couple weeks? I've flown MANY times in the past with zero problems. Couple weather delays here and there but that is to be expected. Recently though has been just a s*** show it seems.

No idea. I have had more issues this past month than the last four years combined and I fly a lot.

My firm offers 8-hours of holiday pay for Good Friday but our offices are only open until lunch on Fridays.  As an office, we divide up the additional half-day holiday leave at another time during that work week.  Last week, I took off at lunch on Tuesday and went straight to the golf course. 

 

Upon laving the course Tuesday afternoon, my wife had texted me a small grocery list to bring home on my way.  I got the few items at the market and proceeded to exit the parking lot when I was t-boned by a large lumber truck.  It was clearly the fault of the other driver who was driving in reverse through the parking lot and talking on a cell phone simultaneously.  He was very nervous and insisted no police be called.  Of course, I refused and called the police where he was charged for several driving offenses, including a suspended license.  Several witnesses gave statements, all agreeing I was not at fault.  My insurance company notified me that they will handle all communication with his insurance and will replace my vehicle, which was a total loss, and recoup their money from his insurance company.

 

Today. I receive a phone call from the other drivers insurance company claiming I was at fault.  She began by claiming I was driving erratically because the sun was in my eyes.  First, the store faces due west and I was driving directly toward the store front through the travel lane between rows of parking spaces.  It was 7pm which means the sun, which sets in the west, would be at my rear!  Second, she claimed I made no attempt to stop.  Again, he was driving through the parking spaces (not in a travel lane) in reverse while talking on a cell phone at a high rate of speed.  

 

I told her she was being very antagonistic and I was ending the conversation.  I notified my insurance adjuster who said it was a "tactic" to get off the hook financially.  My insurer told me the other driver had a third rate, highly unethical "online" insurance company.  She advised me not to speak to them anymore and notify her immediately if the other company tried to contact me again.  I am so thankful I have a quality insurance company representing me.  This is ridiculous!

 

Now, I have to find a car!

Sorry to hear that and glad it sounds like your ok though.

 

Also glad you have an insurance company that seems to be representing your well. My mom used to work for an attorney that represented an insurance company and she would tell me stories of some of the insurance companies and the counsel that would represent them. It is really a shame that people and companies are ethically and legally allowed to operate in such a manor.

 

My wife and I have been fighting a workers compensation claim for almost 3 years now for an incident that happened to my wife while she was working at a very large hospital here in Columbus. It is absolutely crazy that it takes this long to get help/settle as case where a worker quite obviously got hurt at work. The sad part is that they aren't even going to end up fixing her (she most likely will require surgery). They're simply going to throw some money our way (while the money part is ok, for me it is still the fact of the matter) and she'll have to get it all taken care of on her own. Between the surgery(s) itself and the time she'll have to miss from work the money we will probably "settle" for MIGHT cover it all. If we're lucky.

I've heard that from every single person that I know like yourself that travels a lot. They're all fed up too but your hands are somewhat tied as they have to travel for work.

Wow...What a mess. 

 

I don't understand how there are allowed to be so many cut rate insurance companies out there.  I see ads for some of these companies (usually on late night TV, saying one call to us gives you proof of insurance right away).  With every driver beign required to have insurance (at least liability) it seems like there should be more oversight into what type of companies can sell polices or remain in business.

 

I've been as USAA customer for over 35 years, and never once had to worry about a claim (fortunately I've only had two in all those years) one time was last spring when my beloved SUV that had just over 200,000 miles, that I had planned don driving until it wouldn't go any more was totaled.   I was really worried what I'd get out of it, but was pleasantly surprised to get a check for about $3,000 more than I had expected.  

 

but back to the moron that hit you....People are generally Idiots!!

Every time I see or hear a commercial for a 'minimum coverage' insurance company I cringe.

I have USAA, too (car and homeowners). Fortunately very few times had to call them over the years but when I did they responded and took care of the problem.

 

Rates are reasonable and does make me hesitate to bargain shop......

Weather was beautiful yesterday , 70's and no wind - wife and I played 18 and both of us beat our handicaps by at least 5 strokes each. Today we went out again, but the weather was in the low 60's and a strong wind coming off of (cold) Lake Erie. I swear wind chill had to be high 40's very low 50's. Oh and don't ask how we did.
