Oh what the FUCK. Make up a plausible date and call that dumbass town clerk back and demand THEY fix it. I dunno if it’ll work but they have the record of the original form and access to the bureaucracy, so they have more ability than they’ve used and they goddamn owe you.
I looked back in my call log and found when I called them. It was Sept 3rd. I was on the phone for literally one minute and twenty-seven seconds. But of course, I did not record the call, because why would I do that? Also how would I do that? I do not have the means to do that because as a regular, law-abiding person who works in retail and agriculture, I have no reason to have such precautions in place, and don’t even know how I’d go about doing them; I have instead, as a member of society, simply lived my life by trusting that people meant what they said, and behaving accordingly, and apparently I am in the wrong for that.
Here is my Instagram Stories-annotated screenshot of the call log.
So I called and the town clerk’s office hours start at 9:30 so I’ll call back then.
I rehearsed what I was going to say in the car on the way to work and devolved into screaming both times, so hopefully that’s out of my system, because screaming at them isn’t going to help. But WHY DID THEY LIE TO ME. That’s what it boils down to, I did what the law said and what the cop said and what the document said, and then I called them and did what they said then, and they were LYING that they were going to do their job.
I DM’d Dude’s best bud who is a lawyer on Twitter, since that’s the most reliable contact info I have for him, and he said well, next time I guess send things certified mail, you’ve got no recourse but to call them and try to find out what the deal is. He did helpfully point out that the notice is not that my license is *already* suspended, but rather that it is *about* to be, so at least I have that going for me.
I slept basically not at all, last night, and I’m so mad about all of this I can’t think straight, and there’s just no way to handle it, I have to go on about my business, and know, deep down, fundamentally, that I am a member of a society that depends on people to do their jobs and those people are under no real obligation to actually do their fucking jobs and none of it actually means fucking anything and it could all get so much worse at any single moment and I have no recourse.
