This happened to me years ago when we first moved here. My husband was at work and I was alone.So was the man who knocked on the door, but he was super aggressive and had this sense of annoyance and urgency - he really made me second-guess myself. (As I type this, I'm still questioning whether he might have been an actual employee). But at the time I wasn't even sure whether it was a utility company we used because we had just moved here from Canada (to a house that was vacant) and things were still getting sorted. Hmmm. It was probably scammy or worse.

I’m a federal employee and decided to get a quote from Geico, you know, the govt employee insurance company. Their discounted federal employee rate was double the price of NJM for essentially the same coverage.

Actually no, it was worse. They gave me a 6-month quote, which was the roughly same price as NJM’s annual quote. I’m glad I noticed Geico’s quote was for six months. Fuck Geico.

I just commented on your apartment post, not a stalker, I swear! I did some field observations in Plainfield when I was in undergrad. It’s an urban district and seeing that you have experience in Memphis, you should be ok. I teach in an urban district in Middlesex county that is always looking for ESL teachers, if Plainfield doesn’t work out for you.
