Admitting that he was unlikely to accomplish anything despite giving his best effort, local claims adjuster David Furman told reporters Thursday that he had effectively chalked up the day as a loss by 10:15 this morning. I took a decent crack at it, but ultimately Im gonna have to write today off, said Furman, who reportedly started losing hope for the day approximately 45 minutes after arriving at work. I did all I could to get some momentum going, but after 15 minutes of answering emails at my desk I just knew this day was beyond salvaging. Oh, well, theres always tomorrow. Ive done all I can. Furman confirmed that he wasnt overly discouraged, however, as he had already chalked up the entire week as a loss by Tuesday afternoon.
