What should people know about your industry?

[buckethead1978]

I do insurance restoration work. 2 pieces of advice.
-carry good homeowners insurance. Cheap policies will be cheap coverage when all is said and done. Also, make sure you know what your insurance covers in regards to sump pump and drain back up. It is an endorsement that you add to the policy and likely has policy limits (unless you have a high end policy..Chubb, Ace, Cincy exec plan). You should have at least 10K...probably going to cost you an extra $100 for the year. Some cover your contents and some don't. Find out.

-if your water heater fails and you want new carpet, start ripping it out yourself. You can quit after you start. If you call a company out to extract and dry things out, then they should be able to save carpet and pad and you won't wind up with an insurance claim.

Dumb parents make hard-to-teach kids. Doesn't mean the kids are dumb. Think of the worst person in your high school graduating class. They are now a 'father' or 'mother' and their kid is probably a mess because of him/her. Those kids still come in every morning and we do everything we can to make them better when they leave than when they came in.

Everyone thinks they know how to do my job better than I do.

Sometimes when dealing with parents, all they want is to just be heard.

If you have a business and your payroll and taxes are handled by a third party make sure they're doing it right and on time because there's a decent chance they're sending stuff late.

If you file for an extension on you taxes send money, otherwise it's pointless, you're still going to get the same penalty and interest tacked on when you pay in October.

If you're talking about income taxes, this isn't true. There are failure to file penalties and failure to pay penalties. If you want to minimize the penalties, you file the return and let them ask for the money.

if you want to practice law, go for it...and get a license before you do. otherwise let me do my job.

 

[CC_332_rivals113783]

To go off of what funky said...I've seen few truly bad kids in my career. Yeah, some act like turds and do stupid crap, but most of what I've seen has been a result of bad home lives. There's been many kids I've in my career who go home to no electricity, no heat, little to no food, and Mom and/or Dad strung out on the couch. It's truly heartbreaking. How are you going to concentrate on the American Revolution when you have that to go home to?

That being said...I have absolutely seen some chithead kids who are just that, chitheads. Nothing more, nothing less.

 

[cricket3]

If you're talking about income taxes, this isn't true.

I'm not, I was talking about municipal net profits for businesses. I should have made that more clear.

Medicine in general:
--- Take ownership of your health. Know *why* you're on your medications and what might happen if your disease goes unchecked. If you're skeptical about a guideline/recommendation, either make your provider explain it to you or find a second opinion who is willing to do so. Google searches on your own just don't cut it.

ICU medicine in particular:
--- Always, no matter how young you are, discuss with your spouse/DPOA/whoever exactly what you would/would not want done if something tragic happened to you. Get it in writing. If you want your DPOA/MPOA to be somebody besides your legal next of kin, you'd damn well better have your ducks in a row.

• Don't sleep in your contact lenses

what about wearing a pair of disposable contacts for 1-2 years? that's OK, right?

[B Rax_rivals210137]

When wrangling a ferret wear an extra layer of shirts and cuffed sweat pants. Their claws are much sharper than they look and they can crawl right up your damn pant leg in the blink of an eye.
Ferrets like to mate in direct sunlight. Don't leave 2 alone in the sun, no matter the gender. They can't tell the males from females and will hump the first friend they see. If you forget and they start going at it, spray them with a water bottle solution of half water half pickle juice. They can't stand the smell!
If a ferret has laid eggs in a crawl space/dryer vent/air duct, it's best to just let them hatch and wait until the mother leaves for food before moving them. Baby ferrets are covered in a waxy gelatin substance that will stain your hands black and leave a sticky residue similar to an oil based paint. I have a ferret ranch

There are lots of useful things I would love to teach your child, but they aren't tested so there's no time for them.

Your kid doesn't care at all about their grade until you find out and get mad. They've been given chances to re-do work and we hound them to stay on task in class, but they don't try. They are lying to you to stay out of trouble, and you're a moron for believing your awful kid, which is part of why they're awful.

Planning period isn't a break.

So many people want a "bull dog" as an attorney...guess what? They usually cost you more than the results they get.

Why? Because everyone hates that person, that's why, and it gets personal...no longer about clients or results.

Pay your property taxes

Have a Will. And not Legal Zoom

Be respectful to law enforcement. Their job is extremely hard. Life will be much easier for you

Understand the difference between a civil suit and a criminal complaint

If you represent yourself in your divorce you will be taken to the cleaners. Pay for an attorney

Duct tape and number your welding lead

There is no such thing as a "bucket of polarity"

Learn how to do a half hitch with a rope in your sleep

Never "saddle a dead horse" in rigging

Wear your respirator and ear plugs

I actually appreciate when a teacher will honestly discuss what my kids need work with. It seems every parent teacher conference is a tap dance around real issues. I can't imagine the crap they have to deal with.

Addiction is a disease

And if you want to go into rehab or treatment go out of the state you live in.

30 day treatment is cheaper than a 5 day hospital stay. Insurance covers treatment.

Suboxone and methadone are ****, it's trading addiction for another...go abstinent (again why you should leave your state for treatment)

Work in a federal prison. Many things you should know

-if your going to go to prison. Cross state lines and make it a federal crime. The federal system is so weak! Most inmates are better off in prison than they were on the street!

-liberals/dem's are putting our lives in even more danger with their dumb@ss policies. Your lives as well, don't know how many people I've seen released that shouldn't be only to commit more crimes and come back

-it pisses you off if you pay taxes. We PAY our inmates to work when we are already giving them free food, medical care, a freaking place to live, on top of tvs all kinds of sports equipment etc...

Old people know more about being young than young people know about being old.

When you get old, no young person is ever going to think you are a cool old dude still in touch or that you might know more about anything than they do.

False. You have no clue what it's like to be a young person in 2016 with internet access in your pocket, social media, and constant connection with anyone at anytime. Just like in 30 years I'll have no clue what it's like for kids with whatever virtual reality stuff they'll have access to.

 

[MegaBlue05]

From my former occupation (print media)

The "liberal" media is dead on accurate at the ground level (reporters, photographers, low-level editors), and couldn't be any further from the truth at the executive level (bean counters who actually receive raises and ish).

Newspapers now pander to readers instead of being a watchdog. For example: Live in a highly red area? All the GOP RULES!!! stories you can read. (Same for large, blue metro areas)
