rubyredroseHmm...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...
I find this survey rather intersting. Either I've changed personallities quite a bit in the past year and a half this test is skewed. I've tested before as chaotic good, or neutral good. I've never come out lawful before. Hmmm...
I Am A: Lawful Neutral GnomeRanger Bard
Alignment:
Lawful Neutral characters believe in the triumph of law and order above all else. It does not matter whether the leader is for good or evil; the leader will be followed, because the order they provide is the most important thing.
Race:
Gnomes are also short, like dwarves, but much skinnier. They have no beards, and are very inclined towards technology, although they have been known to dabble in magic, too. They tend to be fun-loving and fond of jokes and humor. Some gnomes live underground, and some live in cities and villages. They are very tolerant of other races, and are generally well-liked, though occasionally considered frivolous.
Primary Class:
Rangers are the defenders of nature and the elements. They are in tune with the Earth, and work to keep it safe and healthy.
Secondary Class:
Bards are the entertainers. They sing, dance, and play instruments to make other people happy, and, frequently, make money. They also tend to dabble in magic a bit.
Deity:
Silvanus is the True Neutral god of nature. He is also known as the Patron of Druids. His followers believe in the perfect balance of nature, and believe that nature's bounty is preferable to any other 'civilizing' method. They wear leather or metallic scale mail, constructed of leaf-shaped scales. Silvanus's symbol is an oak leaf.
