I still can't think how dumb I was. I finally made my dream job and all I had to do was pack up my things and move from my household's home in Macon, Georgia, to my new home in Mountain View, California. Keep reading as I communicate my tale of woe, keeping in mind that all of my injuries were self-inflicted. Ideally, you'll learn from my many mistakes.
Cellular Remorse
If just I had actually taken the time to upgrade my forwarding address at the same time, I would've saved myself a lot of aggravation. I hadn't upgraded my cell phone agreement to show my brand-new house. Please do not tell my new job how bad I am at math.
Stuck in the '90s
As soon as we got here at the brand-new location, there was another huge issue. I had not kept in mind to turn on the power at my brand-new house. I got struck with California roaming charges the whole time I was waiting for the magical look of the cable television person.
The Fuzz
Mentioning costs, I absolutely forgot to alter my forwarding address. That indicated that my charge card costs didn't get here. I got struck with late charges for it. I might have quickly prevented this error by registering for paperless service. That wasn't my only change-of-address error, either. I got pulled over by a California law read more enforcement officers. He explained that my license plate wasn't upgraded. He pointed out that I had an out-of-state chauffeur's license and registration. All 3 of those documents require updating when you change states of residence. I had to pay a $175 ticket and then over $500 for the brand-new licenses. Since I got a brand-new task doesn't imply I'm made of cash, just. Why do the cops not know this? Once I finally got wise to the reality that I required to upgrade whatever, I likewise attempted to update my vehicle insurance coverage. Would you think they wouldn't let me initially?! I had to send them a whole tree's worth of documents in order to convince them I 'd moved. Then, they notified me that I 'd need to pay more for insurance coverage in a higher risk state. I 'd have to pay more till my vehicle passed the California emissions test. Guess what? It didn't! My precious 1996 supremely American muscle cars and truck is too much of a gas drinker to pass the environmentally-focused state emissions test. So, I'm going to have to pay more until I purchase a brand-new vehicle. What have I gained from my experience? Literally one hour of preparation might have conserved me lots of time and countless dollars. All I had to do was update all my forwarding information, correct my billing information and cellular phone agreement, and inform my insurer about the changes. Then, another hour or two at the California Department of Motor Automobiles would've corrected all my license and registration issues. Considering that I didn't do this, I had to spend several days at a dive motel, got buffooned mercilessly by my pal, and lost a great deal of cash I could've invested in new furnishings for my brand-new home phone.
