Damn. Confused comp with collision. esurance says $1045.50. Not necessarily enough to switch but it's time to harrass MEEMIC about that bump.

I've got my budgeting down pretty well. One paycheck goes towards the mortgage, and the other to other stuff that needs to be paid. I'd forgotten, however, that it's auto insurance time again.

When I was living with my parents, I paid about $500 for 6 months. When I moved out, I needed to get my own policy, and they quoted my $700. I paid the deposit on it, but managed to get a speeding ticket which bumped it up to $1039. No choice since I was already under the coverage.

Two days ago I get my new bill. $1144. More than a hundred bucks more in six months. I start going shopping online.

Progressive: $1527.50. Geico: $3583.40. And for 12 months: GE Auto Insurance: $7734.90, and Kemper: $8,228.00.

Which is about what my car's worth.

Then I ran across esurance. Shortest form I've seen, asking for the fewest details. Speeding tickets? OK. The accident fell under "weather related". Their quote: $995.50. Unfortunately, they charge five bucks for each time you make an installment payment, so if I'd pay monthly that's another $60.

But I need to call up my current company and talk to them. What's that $58 "Statutory Assessment Recoupment"?

The new thing on my Mac at work: TimeDisc. You can set the clock so that it's on your desktop behind the icons, which is pretty cool, as it doesn't interfere with your work.

Meanwhile, I'm copying a half-million file database to that Mac for some performance testing.
