John, I don't know what anyone else has learned from this thread, but I have learned two new words:

The first one rhymes with "witch".

The other is "sabbatical".

Let the animals run the zoo for a while.

Hot off the news wire:   beep-beep-beep-beep

"It is being reported across the country that 2nd graders have taken to referring to themselves as "Trapeeze Artists" due to their extensive experience with the playground equipment down at the elementary school during recess on a daily basis. The National Association of Professional Trapeeze Artists has issued a statement outlining that professional trapeeze artists spend years of training and practice perfecting their trade and were not admitted to the association until they had passed numerous and difficult proficeincy exams in order to insure their compliance with the rigorous demands of the profession. They seek to enjoin the 2nd graders from referring to themselves as "Trapeeze Artists" due to the potential confusion that would be generated within the general public.

In response, The National Association of 2nd Graders Who Want to be Called Trapeeze Artists has issued this statement:
"We find in repungnant that The National Association of Professional Trapeeze Artists would take such an outrageous position. It is clear that they are not out to protect the public but only to keep well-intentioned 2nd graders out of the business. They are truly insecure in their own feeble grasp of the high bar and seek to keep well-qualified 2nd graders from enjoying the tremendous financial windfall that they all regularly enjoy. They are not nice people and we are not going to share our pudding cup with them at next recess, so there!"

More to come on this breaking story as it arrives. Now, back to your regularly scheduled nonsense.

Maybe the question we should be asking is; "Are these people, who meet the above criteria, even qualified to be adjusters?"  If one cannot afford now to spend this amount on classes to learn WHAT to do, then pray tell, HOW will they do anything but screw up a large amount of claims on their first assignment.

AND, just what will be the impact on each and every one of the insureds, [these are the  policyholders if you are still learning] that come into contact with these poor unfortunate folks who just cannot afford to to take the time and trouble that  Dimechimes did, as outlined in her post above.

And Debbie, (Dimechimes)  who is pre-qualifying these applicants to find out if they  qualify for any kind of mentoring whatsoever.  My opinion would be, if you cannot afford $2000. for a basic education to enter the profession, then you have absolutely no business attempting to do such. AND, those who "do not have the time available to take weeks off from their employment..... well someone should tell them in plain english; "Don't quit your day job!"

Obviously, Clayton has "discovered" this understandable fact, has anyone else?  Maybe we should consider targeting a group, such as the eviction notices for our future recruiting efforts.

Little wonder that this industry is experiencing the problems we see today. The inmates have taken over.

Rumor has it that there was a food fight in the old chat room last weekend and Roy is having it cleaned up and repainted as soon as he can find an adjuster to write an estimate in the new X-**** 24 Program.

quote:

Ken,
I wasn't having a bad day. I just thought that Onnie's request far exceeded most of the ludicous questions that "newbee's" ask here on CADO. If Bill Engvall were around, his response to him would be "Here's your sign!"

Would you welcome with open arms someone who is obviously so clueless into the profession? This far trancends any sort of need to bring new people into the industry. Do you think the medical profession would allow someone to post on a medical website something like "I wanna be a doctor, do any of you doc's know where I can buy a stethoscope?"     Here's your sign!!!!

Kevin, maybe we need to start a new thread "The CADO Dumbest Question Of The Week" here and award a weekly prize.

I think you may have a winner this week with Onnie's question. 

I agree Jim.
They could receive the coveted "Hoober of the Week" designation.
It would soon rival ABC's "Person of the Week" for honor and prestige.
Could be voted by the 'unwashed' masses and be truly fair. No hanging chads here on CADO!

Of course you realize that this means we are becoming even more 'rude and arrogant' since we do not welcome with open arms abject stupidity. Oh, well, since we are already there, might as well enjoy it.
