Work ---------------------------------------- - Noon AT MAIN OFFICE interview with new buyer (in fucking person?!!) Done (although they kept me waiting until two). - change backup media Done. - follow up with Julie about main office fiber Done. So, the potential buyer is unmasked: Beacon Management, a property management company with an existing management team and IT department (in New Jersey). Spent more than thirty minutes in the cramped conference room with Julie, Jamie, and three Beacon people. "We were thinking about maybe hiring an IT guy for Michigan." 🤷 Maybe I should be anxious about somewhat likely unemployment, but I could really, really use a couple months off after the events of the last two years. The actual interview went OK, I guess; I think I came off as a competent guy. Heather says Beacon plans to let all of us know our fates by mid October. (Being used to the secrecy of H&T, I didn't even think to ask.) Home ---------------------------------------- - buy new renter's insurance, cancel old Sort of done — need to call back Thursday. - DTE utility transfer, Consumers Energy, and send form to Somerset (see Aug 4 email)?

New policy: - start Oct 6 - 3rd party liability $300,000 - personal liability $300,000 - personal contents $10,000 AAA agent says their standard procedure is to simply change the address on the existing policy, rather than write a new policy, even if there's an overlap in occupancy of both apartments. OK. She says she'll make the change on Thursday, when the policy term starts, and to call her if she doesn't call me.
