@johnallsopp What insurance company? I use GIO and had iPhone stolen a few years ago. Deductible of $100 and they covered the rest.
@JennaPrice This is an issue I’m pretty passionate about. I’d suggest @nickyringland for a start! @upulie
@JennaPrice @nickyringland @upulie I’m sure she’ll see these tweets sooner or later! She’s usually quick to respond.
@JennaPrice @upulie No problems. Let me know if you need any other folks to chase… 🙂
@JennaPrice My college roommate @emd3737 is actually a biologist in Melbourne. She’s worth a call! I can send you her details.
@drkknits Do you need to do anything today? Can you just get the hell away? We’ll take care of you.
@drkknits Ha. We joke about the fact that Dr. Amy wasn’t grumpy until we got her. We make our pets in our own image, always.
@drwitty_knitter @drkknits @snadrahw *backing away very slooooowly…* 🙂
@gilmae Huh. I thought I made it totally not case sensitive. Hm.
@gilmae It went through and I approved. (If you’re on a different IP, I hold in case you’re a spammer.)
@gilmae Nah, just the crockery hutch one. Also, I’ll need to see a picture. 🙂
@gilmae Oh wow. That’s actually very tempting. Do you know anything about it? Is it actually old, or something that just looks old?
@gilmae @randomknits The issue is there is a piano right where it would go. And @the_snook has veto rights for that. OOH, WANNA SWAP??
@gilmae @the_snook We are viciously decluttering. Have culled the books by a third, with more to come.
@drkknits Oh Dr. K. I was looking at puppy photos of her on your site. Dracarys.

Does anybody have a Sydney handyman that they’d recommend?
@drkknits @3DogsBums WTF? I’m so sorry. I can’t believe it. Is there anything we can do? Hang in there…

Career advice
Love the one you’re with. | MetaFilter – Interesting MeFi discussion about the “traditional” job advice to “do what you love.” For a lot of people, it turns out that “don’t do what you hate” seems to be more useful, just on the basis that everybody’s got to pay the bills. It’s interesting how this math might change, though, if everybody had the basics covered (whether through national health care or the Snook’s crazy “government pays everyone a living wage” idea). Would anybody still take the garbage out or work in a call center? Hmmm.
I also especially liked this comment: “The best job advice I ever got was as follows: there are three axes for any job: you actually enjoy the work, it pays well enough to comfortably live the kind of life you want, and it doesn’t require working 80 hour weeks. If you ever find a job that fulfills two of those three, you grab it and never let go.” I actually think for the first time EVER in my career, I can say yes to all three. That’s pretty amazing.
