stupid city of minneapolis

[bertine]

so, i still have no idea why i was towed on friday. according to everything i have read and everyone i have talked to the city of minneapolis can't tow you for expired registration until you are over 90 days. i was maybe 4 days over that and i had one current one. i don't have any outstanding tickets or any other reason to be towed. i just filled out the form to get my money back.

i have been reading up on this issue and i guess my neighborhood is a popular place to tow from, which makes sense since this is the second time in less than 6 months. the first time i'll admit was partially my fault but this time makes no sense at all.

i am pissed.

ps, the interview went well. woo!

I feel your pain

I am convinced that Minneapolis tows people just for kicks. I got towed for an idiotic reason back in September. Maybe I can also blame them for stealing my car, getting it back, having to pay $225 cash to get it out of the tow yard, and then having it get hit in a hit and run accident less than two months later in exactly the same place it was stolen from.

EVIL, EVIL MINNEAPOLIS!

oh, i am getting my money back.

i got towed in september too, for street cleaning. it pissed me off. minneapolis says they lose money on towing but i am convinced they are lying.

What part of MPLS do you live in?

Did they not TELL you why you got towed when you went to claim it?

Yay interview!

they told me, one of my tabs fell off. i got a ticket and they towed me

however, it isn't a towing offense. it isn't even really a ticketing offense since one was on and it wasn't expired over 90 days. the ticket is all taken care of and i have filled out all the forms. i should get my money back, it just sucked that i had to deal with it all.

i live by powderhorn.

Ya, that really sucks... You don't need that right now....

Congrats! What was this job for?

I just hate stupid things like this. The city was just hassling me because they thought they could get money out of me.

coding. it should be awesome, i liked the department when i was interviewing and it is exactly what i love to do. it is weird that it is hourly but that is ok, i can get overtime then. (very weird to me).

Ya, I hear ya...

How little did they know... heh..

[sugarbeet.livejournal.com]

That is great. Are you going to give up 'Nards?

Ya, Hourly is good. I work an average of 5-10 hours of OT a week, It would suck if I was salary...


Good luck to you!

nah, just cut back my hours. i like to work alot.

i don't know, salary is good, i used to be able to cut out early alot, it was nice.

[sugarbeet.livejournal.com]

Well, If you got a job that allows that, Salary is great. My last job I was Salary and I could come and go as work demanded but I often had to travel out of town for days at a time and then salary sucks!

but knowing what you get paid every paycheck is awesome!

feh, i guess it doesn't matter eitehr way. i can't wait to start coding!
