I had to stop working and school when I was struggling with Fibromyalgia and now I'm going to be a SAHM and hopefully going back to school soon. Hubby is a IT genius. His title is Technician/Systems Administrator but he does so much more than that. He works for a small business and the owner is insane and so hubby is paid WAY too little. He's looking for a new job now but his loyalty to everyone else in the company makes it hard for him.
No, we are not in CT. But DH works in the main office of the company, and all of the "major" claims go through that office.. So he is like 85% sure he will have to review it. It's just him and 1 other person that have to go through the larger claims and the other guy is still working through Hurricane Sandy stuff.
DH hates that part of his job. He has to go through robbery/home invasion claims about once or twice a week. Sometimes they even give him nightmares.
