I have been away from my posts. Surprise. Surprise. This time I have a fairly legitimate reason. I am suing the crap out of "the man." Actually Public Storage, GEICO, and the individual that thought it would be cute to cause an automobile accident that totalled my vehicle and jacked up my back. Thus my free time has been dedicated to gathering paperwork, filing paperwork, filling out paperwork, etc..
I have been learning in the process a few things that I will share with you now:
1. Apparently it is really hard for people/corporations just to do the right thing. I am finding that the Golden Rule and just plain common courtesy are being avoided at all costs by most especially when money is involved. Yeah capitalism!
2. It is not easy to be an individual who is without legal training to hold people accountable for doing the wrong thing. The processes, paperwork, and general bullshit that accompanies theses matters I believe is designed with the intent to frustrate people enough that they simply throw in the towel. I have spent hours and days working trying to decode legalese into plain English. I have spent money, time, and mileage driving here and there to mail, file, and fight.
3. I am one tough son-of-a-gun...until I am not. It has been a constant battle to just work up the motivation to jump through the hoops. When I have that motivation however, there is no stopping me! I am like an angry caged beast all hopped up on amphetamines! Then when I am not I become an abused malnourished creature, exhausted, and fighting a bout of mange.
I will be successful! Hopefully when all is said and done I will find that it was worth all the time, effort and frustration. Wish me luck!
