30 Days?

I have a bone to pick with the zombies at the tag agency in Raleigh. Apparently I had a 4 day lapse in insurance in July of last year. Apparently a letter was mailed to me for action, a letter I never received. Apparently in August of last year a call was put out to pick up my tag. Apparently I have been driving around for almost a year with a tag that is wanted by the state. I say apparently because I am still in incredulous shock about all this. I found this all out when I tried to renew my tag last week. I find it hard to believe because I have been through numerous license checks and when I got my parking card for the airport they run your tag. Nothing, nada. News to me at the counter at the tag agency. So they say get your insurance company to fax a form over to Raleigh. Ok. Done. So I go back to renew again. Denied again. I told them I had the form faxed to Raleigh and that it should be taken care of. I was told, yes the form had been received, but changed nothing. I have two choices, call a number I was given for an Insurance Hearing (whatever that is) or to surrender the tag and pay $50 to do so, and get it back in 30 days paying another $50 for that. I am going to try for the Insurance Hearing and play the cards of I didn't get a letter, because if I had I certainly would have acted on it. The card of I have cancer and need my car to get back and forth to daily treatments. And the card that it was only a 4 day lapse during which nothing occurred. Hell, I didn't even know I had a lapse. Anyway, one more thing on the monstrous plate I have here in front of me. Yep, needed that.

Damn zombies at the tag agency, I'll be watching you....you won't be gnawing on my leg!

M.I.A.

It's been almost a year since I have written a post. I don't have any excuse other than I just wasn't feeling in a creative writing mood. I basically was just going through day by day, going to work, coming home, etc.

The holidays came and went, and then the new year came. 2009 has been turning out to be a rough one for me. You can find out all about that on my new blog Cancer Girl. There is a link to it in the sidebar to the right. I'll be writing what I am feeling and going through over there. I may still write over here, but I am not going to promise anything. I am not working right now, so I have plenty of time, but not a lot of new subject material. I am still employed, but on medical leave and disability (which doesn't pay much). I'm glad I have the ability to do that right now.

So visit me over at Cancer Girl. I'm not looking for pity over there. I'm just journaling the experience. I have travelled that road from the other side with my dad and his mom. Now I am travelling that road again, but from a different perspective. Might as well round out the experience!
