If you can't predict what's going to happen in your sales for the next year, you need better managers. Also, I would suggest fortune tellers, just not one who also sells insurance. "I predict great disaster in your future..."

I prefer to think of it as betting for Mother Nature. Yeah, you hope to never have to use it, but if you do, you're so glad you have it, even if it's a pain in the butt.

Disclaimer: I am not an insurance agent, and if you are buying insurance, you should use one, not my blog. My blog is to give you an idea of what you might need to know, and what could happen if you buy the wrong amount. [/Disclaimer] When buying business interruption insurance, you need to know how much to buy. An agent can help you, but you still need to

Nolo contendere is Latin, and so are a lot of other terms, such as jurisdiction, per diem, per se, vice versa, et cetera. Anyway, glad he's in jail. Wonder what's happening to the crack-addicted prostitute? She's not a victim, for sure. Definitely should be in prison too. But, since she's not a politician, nobody really cares... Politicians often get into trouble because they have too much money to do normal things, and they are i

Congratulations! How does it feel to be married? Just kidding, about the second part. I love questions like that. How does it feel to be a graduate? How does it feel to have a job? Just say, "It's terrible. People keep asking me stupid questions." or "Great, but that might just be the sex." Good luck fending everyone off. Pretty soon it'll be, "How was your honeymoon, what'd you do?" Like they really want those

In the world of insurance accounting, there are few things that annoy me more than a fraudulent claim. All it does is waste time and effort that could better be spent evaluating claims with merit. The biggest problem with submitting a claim that has no merit is that, in order for the insurance company to pay you, you have to prove you had a loss. In my offi

I love calculators, but I know about what the answer should be before I put in the numbers. When you're adding up a lot of numbers, it's best to use a calculator or adding machine. Or excel formulas. But, everything we do gets checked on the calculator before it goes out, regardless of how my mental math is.

+2, and you were probably better off getting paid in meat anyway. If you'd have gone on company time, it'd have been 5 pounds of meat for you with them paying 20 pounds, you know? Better to split the difference. No paper trail with meat, either. And since you got it from a good deed, it'll taste extra good!

That's the solution I was looking for, actually, but it's only a temporary one - when the wall is built, what are they going to do? Also, if they're building the wall, they'll probably build in structural defects that they can later use to get back through. Good theory though, and certainly better than the killin'.

Good luck getting the perfect job. I hope it really is the perfect job for you, and that you get it! Being able to get paid to do something you love is always key.

First, I want to address what I think of LW's problem with the new bill, which actually has little to do with the Visa's themselves, but with the treatment of legal immigrants - it sucks. I think the regulations regarding legal immigration needs to be changed, and make it easier for people to stay and become citizens. Especially from countries where we have Visa wai

Good luck in the WSOP! I always enjoy your articles about poker, I used to dream of going to the WSOP, but I'm pretty sure they would all pick up my tell in 2 hands.

Darth Vader destroyed an entire planet. I don't think Dick Cheney comes close. Nor to hobgoblin. But, you know, if you're at the Amnesty International site, you'll probably vote for Dick Cheney anyway, because he's the intended target.
