"Um... what?" Tales from the elevator...

Today has been a complete whirlwind to say the least. It started at 4am when my alarm went off, then off to the airport to catch a 6:55am flight to Phoenix that didn't end up leaving San Diego until 8:15am due to construction at the Phoenix airport. Because of that extreme delay, I completely missed my first appointment at a high school but was able to make my next three appointments back to back to back. Phew! I'm done for today.

I head to my hotel to unwind and work on accounting and in the elevator I have the following conversation with a lady I've never met before.

Lady: "So what insurance company are you with?"

Me: "Hm what?"

Lady: "I'm with (insert company here)"

Me: "oh um yeah I'm with Progressive?"

Lady: "Ah yeah, lots of claims since the storm last week?"

Me: "Hm what?"

Lady: "Are you guys processing a lot of claims from the hail storm last week?" (She's sounding frustrated)

Me: "Hail storm? Oh no I'm not WITH Progressive, I pay them for my insurance..."

Lady: "Oh... so you don't work FOR an insurance company?"

Me: "oh no no no. I mean, no I don't. Do you?"

Lady: "Sure do! Going on 20 years and love it!" (Sounded pissy and offended)

Me: "Well congrats! Here's my floor... bye!"

Lady: "yep"

Not only was a sort of bummed I LOOKED like someone that could be part of the insurance world, I can't believe she got all pissy when I semi scoffed at working for the insurance company. Insurance adjusters are like lobbyists. No one likes you. Get over it.

Tomorrow I have another busy day with a crazy week next week. I CAN DO IT!

Until next time...
