I still can't think how dumb I was. I lastly made my dream job and all I had to do was pack up my things and move from my household's house in Macon, Georgia, to my new home in Mountain View, California. Keep reading as I communicate my tale of trouble, keeping in mind that all of my wounds were self-inflicted. Ideally, you'll learn from my lots of errors.
Cellular Regret
If just I had taken the time to update my forwarding address at the same time, I would've saved myself a lot of irritation. I had not upgraded my cell phone agreement to show my brand-new residence. Please don't tell my new job how bad I am at math.
Stuck in the '90s
Once we arrived at the new place, there was another big issue. I had not remembered to turn on the power at my new home. I got hit with California roaming charges the whole time I was waiting for the mystical appearance of the cable man.
The Fuzz
Speaking of expenses, I completely forgot to change my forwarding address. That implied that my credit card expense didn't show up. I got hit with late charges for it. I could 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 policemans. He mentioned that my license plate wasn't upgraded. Then, he mentioned that I had an out-of-state motorist's license and registration. When you alter states of house, all 3 of those files need updating. I had to pay a $175 ticket and after that over $500 for the brand-new licenses. Because I got a new task does not imply I'm made of money, simply. Why do the polices not understand this? Once I finally got sensible to the truth that I needed to upgrade whatever, I likewise tried to update my cars and truck insurance. Would you believe they would not let me initially?! I needed to send them an here entire tree's worth of documents in order to persuade them I 'd moved. They notified me that I 'd have to pay more for insurance coverage in a greater threat state. I 'd have to pay more up until my vehicle passed the California emissions test. Guess what? It didn't! My beloved 1996 supremely American muscle car is excessive of a gas drinker to pass the environmentally-focused state emissions test. So, I'm going to need to pay more till I purchase a new vehicle. What have I gained from my experience? Actually one hour of preparation could have saved me loads of time and thousands of dollars. All I had to do was upgrade all my forwarding details, remedy my billing information and cellular phone agreement, and inform my insurer about the changes. Then, another hour or so at the California Department of Motor Vehicles would've corrected all my license and registration concerns. Because I didn't do this, I had to spend numerous days at a dive motel, got buffooned mercilessly by my friend, and lost a great deal of cash I could've invested in brand-new furniture for my new home phone.
