    Kind of a morbid win. My new company offers a free accidental death & dismemberment life insurance policy to all employees. The policy covers $10k, and has a cap of $50k, with *ahem* bonuses, I guess you could say? If I die in an auto accident where I am wearing a seat belt and/or an airbag deploys, my beneficiaries get an additional $10k. If I die within 100 miles of my residence, the policy covers preparation and transportation of my body up to $5k. If I have a spouse and/or child who is currently enrolled in a four year college/university at the time of my death, they get $3k annually for the next four years. And if I get in some horrible accident where I become paralyzed but survive, or lose more than two limbs, I get $5k straight up.

    It pays to die, I guess.

    Random Win IRL Fuck Ya Thread: BG moved out of the basement and got jobs.

    Back in the states after a month bouncing from dirkastan to dirkastan. What I miss other than Trump hating Puerto Rican's, the Vegas massacre, and the Giants sucking absolute donkey ass?

    Received a $25 Amazon gift card at work for being calm and shutting off a water valve while 4 other people were panicking over a busted water pipe. Time to preorder Stormlight Archive Book 3 with this.

    Spent the past few months since losing my job punching above my weight for a new job since I was receiving unemployment. Started to feel down, like I was milking it so I was going to settle on something that didn't match my previous pay structure, but finally got a good solid hit. Interviewed today and it was a slam dunk. It'll be for new position at an HVAC company managing their account retention for their maintenance agreements and following up on unsold services/installs. Hours may be kinda funky, sounds like they're wanting a split weekend and mid-week shift, but I'm confident it'll work out. They're working out the details of the position, expectations, etc, but they'll be making their offer by the end of next week.

    Good for you! I get what you're saying about unemployment. When I was fired for nefarious reasons and I received the benefit amount I said screw it I'm taking it (because we pay into it). Around the 8th month I did feel a bit depressed but there wasn't anything that could even match pay wise what I was getting.

    Yeah, that's pretty much what I kept running into. Plenty of jobs around, but do I really want to drive and work for what likely amounted to an extra $50ish a week after benefits, gas, and taxes? But 8 months? Damn. Ohio has it capped at 6, though you can file for an extension, but I dunno what requirements would need to be met for that. Kinda hate being on it regardless, glad it's looking like I'll be done with it.

    In 2014 it was one year. Back in 2012 a friend of mine was let go when a lot of auto dealerships were closing and what not. Him and a coworker got it for two years with extensions. I was super pissed at the company because basically I didn't fit into their good ol' boy club and I questioned some instances of my pay. Also, my direct manager told me verbatim that no one was as happy as I was and to knock it off. The literal reason I was fired was because people that knew me would email me through gmail first and that was against company policy.

    I have Tuesday and Wednesday this week scheduled vacation days, didn't realize Shadow of War releases on Tuesday. Fuck yeah, I haven't done a vidya release day binge in a while and this seems like a good time.
