I need a drink, the "Man" has got me down (a brief rant)
First off, a clerk at Target swiped my driver's license through the register when I bought two packs of Advil Allergy medicine. Why the fuck is anybody doing anything with my National ID Card? It's 48 tabs of sinus relief not anything that I, a C- Science student, could do to make anything.

Then we get home to find that our lovely city of Jacksonville wants to charge us $120 a year for our share of the stormwater runoff and solid waste pickup (on TOP of our regular trash, water, and sewer bill).

I probably wont be getting my "loan" from my tax stimulus bill for 6 weeks or so because I filed on April 15th.

Gas costs a fortune, the traffic lights are all out of wack, and the dog peed on the floor.

4. You have a National ID card?

Where'd you get that? :shrug:

You might be 'cooking' crank from that Advil, you can't be to careful don't you know?

$120 a year for ALL that? That's cheap!

On edit: I misread your post about the fee's. I get it now.
You already PAY for trash pick up. So, you now have even higher fee's.
I'm sorry. That sucks. :(

The checks are distributed by the last number in your SS #.

I drive less and therefore, pay less.

What traffic lights? I just speed up on yellow, floor it on red and green means Stop! At least around here.

I don't have a dog but i wish my son would flush more often! :P

I'll join you for a drink.... it's raining here and feels like early March. :(

:toast:

8. TGIF
I'm with you on the storm water/runoff/whatever your local government calls the no-really-hidden rate hikes.

It's stupid and insults our intelligence.
