Okay, the whole licensing thing is quite a racket.

My license plate tab is due tomorrow. I have been saving up for this $176 expense, my rent and car insurance which are all due within two days of each other. Today I go in to get my tab and am told I need to get a safety inspection first. I didn't have to do this last year but I guess I have to this year, on a practically NEW Prius. So I go to the auto repair center and am told they are booked until July 2. Two days AFTER my tab is due. It's going to cost $17. So now my tab is costing me closer to $200. I have $20 in my pocket until payday on Friday. So after I get my inspection I have $3 left for food. OH! OH! OH! I guess there is the possibility I could get hit up for a 'late charge' on my tab now because the soonest I can get it is July 2. I just hope that I don't have some cop get behind me when I drive my car to and from the auto center or this could spiral out of control.

There. I'm done. Have a nice day!
