Background: I work for a large property and casualty insurance company. “Casualty” does not mean life insurance, it means third party liability. You slip on a banana peel under the display at Super Walmart, you sue Walmart for the cost of your medical bills….Walmart has a liability policy that covers that scenario. That’s casualty.

More background: I work in the Umbrella Casualty department, which means I am concerned with those super large liability claims, such as you own an office building and choose to nail shut all the fire escape doors. The building catches fire and no one can get out of the building. The families of all those who die in the fire sue you. I would not want to be your Umbrella insurance provider…because that is a huge claim….like several millions of dollars times the number of people who sue. I don’t care if the building burns down, I care that everyone got out, so no one will sue you. Sure, some other department cares about the cost to rebuild the building….but not me.

Just a bit more background: My company moved 50 jobs from IL to AZ recently, a whole department, not mine. We have a ghost town on one half of the office suite, where all those people used to sit. Its being subleased, but before the new tenant moves in, our employee sunshine committee decided we should play miniture golf over there. So every department made a hole. This is my departments’:

The sign above the door on teh doll house says “Fire, Fire! Did everyone get out safely? Good. I am sure the Fire Department will be here soon. Or not, whatever.” Get it? Woooohhhoooo! We insurance people are funny!

Anyway, here is Geetle and Pookie (with Giggles cheering them on) making their way through the 9 hole golf course.

I am not sure what the par was for the course, I forgot to look. But there were 9 holes so probably 25-30?

Geetle shot a 73
Pookie shot a 57, but choose to skip the 6th hole entirely. Gave it one look and walked away.
