follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given

In the old Republic, you wouldn't have a choice! Not that any self-respecting Centauri would have you.
there's a fucking blizzard going on and these people have their dog on the back deck
he's whimpering
The background: I work in motor insurance. When our policyholder is liable for an accident, we have to pay the third party's costs. These usually come from the third party's insurer. Now, checking that what they have paid (for repairs, hire, etc) is reasonable is tedious, time-consuming, and for most large insurers, unnecessary, because they do the same thing we do and have wholly owned or contracted repair centres working at agreed, discounted rates.
So, for certain insurance companies, we have reciprocal agreements in place that say they don't have to provide us with documentation to back up what they've paid, they can just phone us and tell us, and we'll pay up unless we have a specific reason to dispute it and vice versa.
However, for one specific insurance company we have started to have a few issues. We don't think they're actively defrauding us, it's just that they use an outsourced Indian call centre with which we have communication difficulties, and they frequently call through with bizarre figures that, when challenged, turn out to be incorrect.
So, for this particular insurer we have started requesting a breakdown of any and all hire and repair figures they call through (which we are allowed to do under the agreement), which means Indian call centre workers have to explain invoices prepared by UK bodyshops.
I spoke to one today who swore blind that the labour charge broke down as "32 hours at £2.75 per hour", because "£32 per hour is impossible".
This is not good.
only one course of action

It's called "snow", not a blizzard, and it won't kill the dog
I want a dog that'll curl up and let itself get snowed over when it wants to sleep
It depends how much you want the job.
Why would you ask how we were?
I'm sending out so much I've stopped caring.
I have a feeling they're probably not allowed to say.
Cool. I've had a lot of fun looking at apartment postings yesterday, but the job is not in the bag yet.
Yes, if i recall some of our women were used as slaves in camps during Old Republic crusades!
Actually, it is a blizzard. There is snowfall in excess of 25 centimeters, 30+ mph sustained winds, and freezing temperatures.
And I didn't say it would kill the dog. The point is that he's a house dog and he is clearly incredibly unhappy with what's being done- as made clear by the vocalizing he's doing.
Your Nordic imperviousness to the cold aside, don't be a dick.
I don't drink. Any other ideas?
Take up drinking.
Narcotics.
even through all this i can see your cock over in jersey
it's spectacular
whiteout can't mask your gloriousness
I approve of this av/sig combo.
Send them to a professional bookbinder and have them immortalized.
Smoke less weeeeeed
Would you tell them what you weren't interested in?
I sure wouldn't.
And I want people like you to not be allowed to own pets. D:
and just be all casual about it when giving tours of the house
I would also be willing to accept dry but frozen.
Snow will just be a pain.
