Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

JenP, I will hold you accountable.

People pay your tickets before they go to warrant and get your car inspected and registered. I swear that the call to borrow money from family or friend to do these things is better than calling to bail your ass out of jail. I SWEAR.

I am done with any attempts at being productive for the rest of the day. I am going to watch the Doctor and possibly bake.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Urgh. I think I have a late fee to pay on a ticket I paid the original amount on. Do they charge late fees on late fees? I have to sort through my mail.

Found my iPod! Jesus, flake.

I just paid a parking ticket from 2006 because it came up on my credit report again!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Both my cars are overdue for smog checks. I paid the registration fees on time, but getting to the inspection station is a pain, and I don't know where the paperwork is for the one that's really very like close to a year overdue. I'll get the one that I have paperwork for done on Monday, though, I promise. Especially if someone nags me about it...

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

We're having a bit of a fuss because the city went to electronic parking meters (pay at a central station, get a ticket, put it someplace visible on the dashboard) and has recently made it possible for people to pay from their phones. Great, right? Except there's a glitch in the system (isn't there always?) and it turns out there's a delay between people paying from their phone and when the parking enforcement people can actually see that information. oops

As a result, a lot of people paid by phone and got parking tickets. Our big boss among them. It's getting a lot of news coverage and they're promising to get it fixed.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I also have to renew my passport! That's another $30. As far as I can tell, I just fill out the form and then mail them my passport book and they put in a new card and I get to keep everything else inside? What sorts of mailing bonuses should I use? Delivery Confirmation? Signature Confirmation?

Oh, balls, I have to go get a passport photo too. I meant to take one over the holiday.

oooh, thanks for the reminder, -t. I need to do that in the next three weeks as well.

Thank you, msbelle.

Also, dishes are done. Now I need to pack and hit the road.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm undoubtedly up shit creek for not doing my paperwork in lieu of registering my totalled car. But I can't work out how to file its liminal state. Maybe I should ask AAA. That's the sort of shit they're for, right?

Okay, V, why haven't you come to my desk? I did the "Oh, you're on hold?" mime dance pretty clearly. It said that you were coming to me, not that I was going back to you.
