    Why in the world would RT accept a bonus check over a $15 million contract?

    In my scenario, he doesn't have a $15M contract as an option. It's unemployment and his buyout or unemployment and his buyout + a bonus.

     

  2. CDC missed an opportunity. Last year, he should’ve told RT he wasn’t getting the HC position but if he publicly announced he wasn’t interested in being HC, here’s a nice fat fucking bonus check. It would’ve been nice and clean and saved the optics.

  3. Yeah, Austin has a long history of questionable decisions regarding education.  Follow the money.  We live in a neighborhood that feeds Doss/Murchison/Anderson, but our kids all went to McCallum (two because we used to live in that feed and the other two because they did Fine Arts).
    In the past few years, Doss was completely rebuilt from the ground up as a stunning, multistory elementary school.  McCallum HS has racoons falling out of the ceiling and the AC doesn't work in half the classrooms.  Consider the neighborhoods.

    I’ve heard from a reliable source that in the next major bond package (probably 10 years away) there’s a plan for McCallum to be rebuilt into a 4 story high school. They’d build the majority of it on the baseball/softball fields so the school can stay open during construction. When complete, new ball fields and the remainder of the new campus would be built on the old school location. The teams would practice and play at northwest park in the interim.

  4. Who the fuck signed off on the new carry on security screening system? I walked right up to the Pre Check attendant for my ID check and it took 10 minutes to go through the metal detector as the backup to put bags on the new convoluted convayer belt system was a complete shitshow. I can’t imagine how bad it’s gonna be during peak travel times.

    Mind telling us which insurer(s)?

    Home insurance is Liberty Mutual and auto is Progressive.

    LM and Progressive must be owned by the same parent company because when I switched my auto from LM to Progressive, I was able to keep all my LM discounts.  At the time, when my kid turned 16, Progressive was a lot cheaper for adding a teen driver.  

     

  6. This morning I was finally on the receiving end of home insurance rate increase butt fucking.  On the 1st, my home insurance goes from $2,420/year to $3,410.  Last month, I got hit with a car insurance increase for 3 cars that went from $4,200/year to $6,600.  I've never had a claim on either policy.

    Fuck all ya'll insurance companies.
