"we're all victims of the system still we love to place the blame
we're running out of choices and there's no rules to the game
I'm getting tired of feeling this way
what can a single man do, what can he say
every day you walk the edge of a knife
you're left with nothing at the end of your life
they've got their hands in your pocket
they'll take the clothes off your back
hands in your pocket
they'll stop you like a heart attack"

hmmmm... am I anticipating more glitches and fees before the paperwork snafu of licence, registration, and insurance is done?... perhaps... one office in NY sent both a clearance form marked paid and a separate receipt... the other, who took three days to do the same thing the first office did in one, sent a clearance only... not marked paid even... and I had to call to get them to actually process the paperwork (I mean, for them calling in advance and setting up an overnight processing turn around and then sending it overnight with a paid overnight return envelope inside wasn't enough of a clue... sheesh)...
so anyway, I will call Monday morning and see how much the insurance rates go up now before I say ouch too loudly... I forgot about the tickets since I got them on company time and since I put more than 30,000 miles on the company vehicles last year and barely drove my car 13,000 miles in three years... the tickets are probably still stuffed in the glove compartments of the vans...
anyway, a few more obstacles on the road up the mountain back to a more comfortable life... I'll have to stay away from jobs that require a perfect driving record for a year or few... starting over in the professional world without credentials is no fun... I spent 15 years paying dues and climbing the career ladder and I'm back down to rung one just cuz don't have the paper proof of my experience... a whole life washed away because I trusted...
so anyway, I suppose I felt like venting today so I used this journal space to do it... and now, back to enjoying my vacation... I've been staying offline more this week so I could finally get back to updating these pages and returning to my gardens and me... and I am in the process of moving servers (that's gonna be a long term project)... so maybe I'll visit the newsgroups tonight...
