    Interesting culture clash moment from work today.

    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".

    Does waiting to hear from an employer after submitting a resume ever get better, or are you on tenterhooks pretty much every time?

    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.

    I'm sorely tempted to ask the Indian call centre workers how much they're getting paid.

    I have a feeling they're probably not allowed to say.

    Possibly getting a job in Queens, or a more challenging/highly paying one in the Financial District.

    heeeeeeeeeeeeeell yeah!!!!!

    If you get a job in Queens, you should move to Astoria. Astoria is pretty cheap, but it's an awesome neighborhood. Close enough to manhattan, interesting young crowd, but still has an old NYC feel to it.

    Cool. I've had a lot of fun looking at apartment postings yesterday, but the job is not in the bag yet.

    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.

    Hmm..Sounds like Heavy Rain turned out to be just as bad a mess as Farenheit was.
    That's about as close to a "movie experience" as Heavy Rain gets, though. You see, if Heavy Rain really was a movie, critics would tear it apart. The narrative, like the game, starts off incredibly slowly, gets very interesting toward the middle, and then becomes the worst shambles of deus ex machina and incredibly stupid plot twists that you could hope to find. Without spoiling the plot, it's hard to tell you exactly why the story is so terrible, but let me simply say that Quantic Dream tried too hard to be clever with the narrative's unchangeable elements and overshot by a mile.

    If your employer tells you "what areas are you interested in OR not interested in"

    Would you tell them what you weren't interested in?

    I sure wouldn't.

    it would be kinda cool to have a bronze replica of your cock on a nice hardwood (heh) stand in your study

    and just be all casual about it when giving tours of the house

    I am kind of hoping that if it is going to be wet up north next week, it will at least be fairly mild.

    I would also be willing to accept dry but frozen.

    Snow will just be a pain.
