“Dear PoPville,
Last week I was involved in a bike accident and I unfortunately broke the universal rule of accidents and didn’t call the police and failed to get his insurance information on the spot. I did however, get the man’s name, address and phone number. But now he won’t call me back.
My question is; what can I do now? I am physically okay but my bike will need a bunch of work. The accident was not my fault and I don’t want to have to shell out the money to fix my bike. I also don’t want to sue the man, I didn’t get the impression that he had a lot of resources and I don’t want to destroy his life just to fix my bike. But at the same time I would like some sort of compensation.
Since I’m sure that PoPviller’s will want to debate the merits of my accident I’ll describe it: I was going straight under a green light when a vehicle from the oncoming lane attempted to make a left turn right in front of me. I could do nothing but slam into the front quarter panel of his vehicle. Did a number on his windshield too…”

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
