Same. I left for college with prepaid calling cards with 90 to 120 minutes on each. By end of college I switched over to my first very bulky cell phone where I paid for a plan with very limited “peak time” minutes but free nights and weekends. Meaning I only called home on the weekend.

Training schedules/calendars or accountability trackers are about all that work for me in lousy weather conditions. My brain fears falling behind on the schedule more than it does facing the cold. But to be clear, the cold weather is still a brutal obstacle to overcome, motivation-wise.

As I understand it, the AAA's pilot program is limited to paper submissions (no live hearing) for construction disputes. Largely interpretation of contract terms (objective analysis). I'm skeptical where photos, building standards, workmanship issues (i.e., more subjective analysis) are at issue.

My co-worker made us grilled stickies from Ye Old College Diner and brought in ice cream from Penn State Berkey Creamery, and long story short, I think I may have to be a Penn State fan now.
