Jan. 2nd, 2004 10:14 pmHmm...halfway point in the training class for my new job is monday. That means that I have a test on the 9th that determines if I get to keep my new job. Which I'm not allowed to study for at home, because that would be off the clock/overtime. Yay. ¬.¬
I'm not worried tho. So far, other than WAY more than most people need to know about insurance, I've been learning random things such as:
- Until reported stollen to the police, according to insurance, a vehicle is not stolen. It is missing.
- In the state of Texas, it you drive your car thru your living room, it is not covered under your homeowner/renter's policy. It is, however, covered under your auto policy.
- "Risk," "peril," and "hazard" are not synonyms. They mean very different things. (risk is the chance something horrible will happen. peril is the horrible thing that could happen. hazard is anything that both increases the chance of something horrible happening, and makes it worse.)
Also, the average joe knows about as much about car insurance as they know about brain surgery. Of course, the average joe isn't required by law* to cut up people's brains either. Fun stuff. I could rant about it, but this is getting long, so instead...
( How 'bout some random DnD surveyage? n_n )
* Technically, you are not required to have car insurance. Merely about $55,000 ready cash. >.> If you can prove it, they'll instead give ya a different piece of paper you have to carry around in yer wallet. Gah!
