Let's just get right to it. Shane and I had so much to do today. Now that we actually have money to take care of it and there's a chance he will be working with Dad tomorrow so we can't do it then because he will have the car and not only that, he needs to be there. It's in his name. Long story short, today was the only option.
So, first things first. Tags. We wake up at 6:30 am to be the first one to the Tax Office because we needed to get tags on Shane's car and weren't going to sit there and wait for 2 hours for our number to be called when we had B232 and the number that was just called was A053... Don't think so. So we went to the Tax Office that's supposedly at 31 Sailfish Dr E here in Atlantic Beach. Well as it turns out Sailfish Dr E and W are solely residential roads. Come to find out afterward, under the address on the site in grayed out small text it says "Unverified Listing." No Fucking Shit?! Okay. Next? 1505 Atlantic Blvd is another Tax Office. Open at 7:15am, closed at 5:45pm. We get there.. it looks closed. You know why it looks closed? Because it Freakin IS! Thanks to Martin Luther King's freakin holiday.
Alright. So no tags today. What's next on the list of things to do? Cash these checks. We go to the bank and of course it has to be closed too. So to the ATM we go. Which, with a 600 dollar check to deposit, we won't get the money til next week sometime because of the hold. So we just deposit the 100 dollar check... only we can't because I got a new Debit card and I never changed my PIN number to what my old one was so I'd remember it. There goes that idea. Fine. Money Order. We have one of those for 100 bucks. Let's go to Walmart and cash IT. We gave the woman the money order and she looked at it and just shook her head. "We can't cash these. Only Walmart Money Orders." OMG! By this time Shane is fuming. He thanks the woman after she verifies it with someone else and we walk out. Fine. The Money Order was made from a Sunoco gas station. So I get on google and find one close to where we are... Beach Blvd. So off we go in that direction. I didn't even know there was a Sunoco in Jacksonville. Apparently there's three... each one in a place I never go to. Anyhow, we get there and Shane goes in while I stay in the car surfing the net trying to figure out if that old sweet looking white car that flew by me the other night was an old Lamborghini... it wasn't. And I STILL don't know what it is. It's driving me crazy. After a few seconds Shane comes back out and I ask the obvious. "Let me guess, Sunoco doesn't cash their own Money Orders?"... Nope. They don't. Great. By this time it's 9:30am and we just say screw it and head back to the house. We stop and get gas on the way. 1.89. Only to find that the very next gas station was 1.85 and it was Shell... which I prefer over BP. So finally we get home at 10am and we remembered we forgot to drop off the rental back at Blockbusters. But screw it. It isn't due til noon and I've been out since 6:30am. It can wait. It's now 10:30am and we're back at the house.
We got up at 6:30am, drove around Jacksonville for 4 hours and accomplished absolutely NOTHING!!! So, how was your first 4 hours this morning?... or did you get the privilege of waking up at noon?
BTW, Why is there a holiday for Martin Luther King and not Malcom X?
