Consumer report
We got word that the insurance company has cut a check for the car repair. This is actually the second check – we filled out some paperwork authorizing the insurance people to pay the car repair people directly.

I’m not sure if my insurance company is particularly fast or responsive, but they seemed to get things resolved relatively quickly. I suspect that I have low expectations as well.

You go to a giant box store and ask for something like silicone spray to lubricate vinyl windows and you get some weird guy trying to sell you silicone caulk. Or worse, you just try to get out of a giant electronics store with your dignity and maybe without going into a total rage.

I’m pleasantly surprised by my customer experience, but all things considered I’d like to never have to talk to the insurance people again. No offense, insurance folks – it’s not you; it’s me.
