A log moring beginning at 4:30AM. There were many inconistencies in the training modules for the new business venture. Or should I say adventure. The training has a chat column and it is easy to see the state of confusion in others who were impatient at first, posting comments how easy my questions were. Hmmm, not so easy now, huh? Every time I got a vague answer, I interpreted it as bad news. Now, by module eight, I’ve sailed past the others to the degree they often no longer understand most of what is going on. They were more concerned at first with not looking stupid, and that has caught up with them.
Originally selling at Saks for $119, it has three temperature settings and is battery-powered. So unlike other models that you must always set back on the base, this puppy will keep contents warm for three hours anywhere. It has three settings, you quicky learn to use only the hottest, 145°F. I got mine at Wal*Mart for $21. Works fine.
I’ve identified some potential clients, my plan is to finish watching the modules first. They are around an hour to two hours each. One resource I paid for already was to have their legal team review what I come up with and it is getting close. One aspect that was hard to pick out was what was important enough to do first. That wasn’t easy. The short answer is getting the client to sign the initial agreement. It specifies the money split, the limits of the contract, and that he may not circumvent you. That’s important in that during the next few steps there is a chance he may find out the one thing you won’t tell him up front: where the money is located.
The Reb asked directly, is this not bait and switch in the sense we were told this was easy. No, I am happy that all the facets were up front. Yes, there is a vast amount of material that has to be learned so you can move fast once the client signs, but little short of law school could prepare you for that. I double-confirm our record keeping is already superior to anything they are advising for their new people. I’ve already forward a dozen multi-page printouts to Trent. All seems in order but the nratio of people who screw up in this trade must be horrendous.
Tell me it is a joke. There is a quip circulating that some CNN reporter said white people who jumped out of the way of the parade killer was racist. They should have stood still got run over. If I find it, I’ll publish the link.
Rooster.

Reading off screen is not my strong point, I downloaded around sixty pages of the more intense material and went to a coffeeshop. There I mapped out the strategy best adpated for our existing arrangments. And uncovered a series of errors, but I believe after this I have caught alll the big ones. An example is, I read the epecs for 24 counties in Georgia, seeking the window between accepting claims and escheatment. That is the only interval relevant to us. But, then I find there is a state law that says the first year only the claimant can file for the money. That is strange, since it prohibits the claimant from having anyone help process the paperwork.
This drawn-out study required 14 hours with few breaks. So I ouht a book and sat down for a good read. The book, “Then We Take Berlin” is written in a fashion I find superior to the contemporary books by Clancey or Pattison. More imaginative language without as many clichés. Lawton’s hero doesn’t get the fashion model but he does pretty well with the older street hooker who used to live with his grandfather. The plot is an orphaned teen with a high IQ (169) is saved from a life of burglary when he’s drafted and then recruited as a spy.
Later, I reviewed many of the counties examined in my first pass and I see that although it is clerical work, paying attention is paramount. The listings are updated on a monthly basis so I’m glad I kept record of every URL that works. The ones that did not work, I sent inquiries which by law they must answer within 3 days. We shall see.
