After Ike: Excuse Me While I Scream in Frustration

So I am trying to find out what to do with the insurance check that is made out to the mortgage company and of course I get the automatic voice lady telling what numbers to push for this and that need. After going through several menus she says.

If your property was damaged in the recent storm event press star. A representative is standing by to take your call.

YES!!! They are standing by!!
*presses star*

I'm sorry, that is not a valid option.
Please press 1 for the main menu

shit

Update: I did get through by hitting zero and I spoke to a human who says we have to mail them the check for endorsement.

I also got an email last night with a survey asking me to rate the customer service center.
My opinion is very important to them.

I guess my week wasn't bad enough because>>

I got rear ended on the way home from work last night.

I pulled over ( which is the law if vehicles are not too damaged to drive) then got out and looked around for the offending vehicle which was OF course NO where to be seen.

That's right...
The little bitch just took off and left me standing there with my broken bumper.

NOT cool.

After Ike: The Roof

SO
We get this ITTY BITTY check from the windstorm claim and not only is it not even CLOSE to being enough to even BEGIN to fix the roof...the damn thing is made out to the mortgage company so I can't even use it to buy any freakin' shingles.
THEN
They send me another letter giving us 120 days to get the roof inspected, fixed and certified or our coverage will cease to exist.
AND
Here we were stupidly thinking the windstorm adjuster did us a favor by discovering the damage that we did not even know was up there.

This sucks.

We Voted

They are doing early voting a few blocks away so we went ahead and cast our ballots. We just don't think anything either of these candidates will say or do in the next week will affect our thinking.
So now we wait.
