No theme to this post, just a bit of stream of consciousness that has been carefully edited to protect the guilty.She did it… Our big news since my last post is that Debbie retired from her corporate job and is now working full-time at our agency! Her last few months were hectic as she valiantly tried to transfer years of experience, judgment and wisdom unto half a dozen people, all of whom already had full plates. Such is the state of the corporate world these days. Being able to “retire” (defined here as getting retirement benefits) on her 55th birthday was a great reward for her years of planning, budgeting and faithful adherence to our long term goals. She has jumped into our new agency and is already running quotes, learning our agency management system (AMS 360), and decompressing from the corporate “bends”.
Legos and Waffles… We had a great, albeit hectic, week with the grandkids. It was the same week Debbie retired and started working in the agency. There were a lot of “have to’s” and the kids were troopers when required. Such a delight they are in our lives.
Two years = a lifetime… At least it does to Garmin. I bought a lifetime subscription for traffic and news on a Garmin GPS a few years ago. They have discontinued the service and told me that since I had over two years of service they owed me nothing. I owe them nothing except to tell others the truth about how little they value their customers.
