Agent Alerts from Stuckey & Company

Stuckey & Company offers the backing of top tier carriers like Safeco, Travelers, Chubb, American Modern, and The Hartford. You might not think there's much money in personal lines because of the small premiums and high service requirement (phone calls). But even commercial businesses that generate less than $15M in revenue annually generally go for $2,000 or less.

That seems like small change when you consider some high value homes are paying as much as $25,000 or more. Even the smaller middle class type home, two cars, and a toy is $4,000-$5,000 per household. There are yacht owners paying over $80,000 annually for their insurance.

The fourth Sunday in October traditionally ranks right up there with Christmas for me. An extra hour of sleep is the best present I could get. Do I have small children at home to keep me awake all night? Is there a chronic barker in the neighborhood? Do I live next to the firehouse? No, no, no. I have no excuse. I just like my sleep. I blame it on the comfortable mattress. Everyone who knows me knows that I won't answer my phone on weekends before 9am... 11 on Sundays. Anyway, the last weekend in October, I stayed at my sister's house all weekend and came home late Sunday night. Imagine my delight as I snuggled in thinking that I get extra hour of sleep. Sometimes, I have to take my lunch hour at 8 in the morning and come in at nine (I'm not proud of it, and I'm getting better). That Monday morning I was sleeping away my lunch and I headed into work about 8:30. Kelly calls me and asks if I'm okay. I tell her that I'm fine and I'll be in before nine and why does she want to know? She laughs and tells me that it's nine thirty five. I accuse her of taking drugs (over the counter, of course) and remind her of daylight savings. She attempts to convince me otherwise by reading the article from MSN.com about how daylight savings is changed this year. I, being only semi-awake anyway, think that a practical joke is being played at my expense and I scold her for not waiting until I've had a cup of coffee first. Afterall, how can I be the ONLY person on the planet not to know this? And, who has the authority to make such changes? Isn't this a global thing? Long story short, (not really) everybody else was busy doing their insurance thing when I walked in that morning at nearly 10 o'clock! That's what I get for not watching the news for 3 days. I guess it could have been worse, I could have come in 2 hours early.
