Jewerlystorekid, I think you're just about to earn the name Jewelrystoreman.

Ok.. my question is really boring but it would be helpful to me. You work for a trucking company and I assume they give you reviews with scorecards and metrics. Like.. number of times over the speed limit, maybe hard breaking spots, number of times late to appointments or not entering reason codes for being late.. and so on.

Do you actually get anything out of those? Is there any metrics that just piss you off because they're unfair to the real world situation you're in? I'm a transportation analyst in charge of writing those metrics for my company (who contracts a lot of trucks..) I'm curious to understand the gap between the real world and me sitting in meetings while we try to figure out why a certain carrier is only ontime 60% of the time and stuff like that.

It isn't obviously clear until reading enough comments that you legitimately paid for college + the insurance. Given that you are not riding on a scholarship or something for insurance --- I salute you. Figure out the system man!!

The only thing that is amazing to me though is.. my college's insurance is deplorable. It doesn't even cover prescriptions. While no where near $25k I'm paying a good.. maybe $7k a year to ensure that my partner has health insurance through my work because I don't want him having to resort to the school insurance.
