- Complete Ashton’s job paperwork. He filled out most of the forms for Chick-fil-A, but you need to ensure he signs the final documents and emails his new manager to confirm.
- Follow up on the flooded storage unit. The issue of Denver’s flooded storage unit and the potential for an insurance claim came up again. You’ll need to assess the damage to the couch and fridges to see if it’s worth the deductible.

🚨 Priority Directives
- Address Flooded Storage Unit: Your storage unit has experienced a flooding event. You must follow up on the insurance policy you acquired through the facility, for which you pay $11 per month.

- Locate Social Security Card: You have a pending task to “get like his stuff out of the bank” which requires a Social Security card and birth certificate. The Social Security card’s location is uncertain and was described as being in a “really bad place for it.” Locating this document is critical for proceeding.
- Investigate Mobile Carrier Change: You have gathered preliminary data on switching your family’s mobile service from AT&T to T-Mobile. The proposed plan is approximately $210 per month for five lines and two watches.
