You can't fight City Hall

Well, today has not been a great day. First off, I've been sick for two weeks now, and it still hasn't gone away. I haven't worked out since the 1st, so I'm feeling very fat and in a state of "might as well eat everything in sight."

Then, I broke up with the Coach today, while at work. There was just no other time. He works too late, I'm in bed when he gets off work, it just wouldn't work out. Without going into too many of the details, I basically told him I didn't like how our relationship was going. I really cared for him, and seeing his missed calls, and texts only made me miss him more, and I wasn't able to allow myself to really like these new guys I'd been seeing. I did tell him a little about the Major (just that I'd been seeing someone new). I told him that I felt like I was holding out for him, but I knew that we would never be. Maybe if things were different, but they weren't...so there was no sense in us pretending like this. It was hard, I could tell he was upset, I was really upset. I did like him, for what the whole ridiculous relationship was worth, I did like him, and it saddened me to know that this was it.

Then, turns out I never paid my personal property tax on my car. I was so furious. I never got a bill, called City Hall, turns out they had my old address. Now, this is what is ridiculous. I OWN my house!! I pay taxes on my house, the city KNOWS I live at my new address. But apparently the different divisions don't talk to each other. I had to personally call the personal property tax and let them know I moved. Isn't that ridiculous? I could see if I just moved to a new house or something like that, but I own the house! So, I went to City Hall to pay it. Of course, it's like 30 bucks more because of an outrageous interest they claim is reasonable! Anyways, I went to pay it, and it turns out it's at a collection agency! Well, then I had to go to the collection agency to pay it. Well, I wanted to know why I hadn't heard from them! "Oh, we have a wrong address, we sent it out and it got returned." I reply with "This is your job. This is what you do. Why didn't you look me up to find my new address?" She starts mumbling about "skip address" or something like that. Whoa, I was not having any of it. I said "There is no earthly way that if you ran my SSN you would not have gotten my new address. I own a house. There is NO way it would not have popped up." You know it's just some shiesty lawyer that takes his sweet time because he gets more money the later it gets because I have to pay more interest. It just infuriated me.

When all was said and done, I owed $165 and my perfect record was ruined. Like I have $165 just sitting around!? Why do you think I tutor both at the tutor center and privately! Because I am flat ass broke, that's why! Anyways, no one cares of course. You think those workers at City Hall gave two shits that I have NEVER been late in my entire life for anything? Do you think that collection agency cared that I knew they were shady and just wanted more money? I still can't get over the fact that the city knows damn well where I live, send me taxes on my house, assessments, etc., but for some crazy reason, the programs aren't cross checked. And why didn't the city look up when the original bill got returned?!? It would have taken them 2 seconds to find me in the computer down the hall!!! No, they just wait until they decide to send me to a collections agency! Like I'm some sort of shady you know what that's skipping out on paying my taxes on a 2000 Honda Civic. Give me an effing break!

Between breaking up with Coach and running all over town, I've done about 2 hours of billable work today! I really just want to hit the bottle today after work!

Coach's ready for the big time

Something unbelievable happened to me last night! Coach actually asked me if I would be his girlfriend. He wants to really try this, long distance and all! Now, as unbelievable as that is, that's not even the most unbelievable part!! He did this all over text messaging!! Yes my friends, via text. I believe gf was even used! I have told that fool child time and time again do not text me with serious conversations. I don't know what to do. Part of it sounds wonderfully romantic. But do I really have the time or money to invest in a long distance relationship!?
