Time for an Update

It's been awhile since I've posted. Since I didn't go back and read my last post, if any of this is duplicated - sorry, you'll just have to put up with it.

I'm in NC, in the house and somewhat settled in. There are still boxes all over that need to be unpacked and I still don't know where some of the things are going.
But I'm HERE!!!!! I'm working from home and things are working out great on that front!
Speaking of work, my manager called the other day and I got a 7.2% increase. The department average is 3.5% so I wondered (only for a second or two), who got less because I got more. Oh well, not mine to worry about.

Robert isn't here yet. He's been trying but everything just seems to be going wrong in CT. He wanted to trade his car for a different on before he came down. It should have been a fairly easy thing to do but NO, not in this case. Because I co-sign on the loan and I just moved, that became issue number 1 that had to be explained to the bank. He wanted to keep the payments below a certain amount so the dealership (VW in West Hartford), tried different types of financing (me first, Robert first, me alone). Well, they couldn't do me alone because I had switched my insurance to NC already.
BTW - the finance guy there is an idiot, don't go deal with him. He doesn't fully answer questions and says everything is all set even when it isn't.

There was information that Robert had to give them. He would bring it in, with the understanding he would be able to pick up the car and when he got there, he would be told of another problem with the paper work or that they needed more information. When he tried to back out of the deal, they told him they already paid off the other car, even though he didn't have one to legally drive (until they put dealer plates on it). My question, if they paid off the other car, why is there still a problem with the loan papers on this one? He had no answer and trying to get the right information from the finance guy was like talking to a teenager who only gives you part of the information. Robert called from his office one day and I talked with him to make sure that everything was all set. He told me things were all set now and everything was fine. I tried to ask more questions, like why it was taking so long or something like that. And he just repeated that everything was all set. He blew me off and it wasn't because I was female. Robert wasn't getting any better information. It still took another 3 or 4 days before they were ready to register the car.
One would think that would be the end of this tale but it's not. It's get deeper and deeper. When they go to do the final registration, they find that Roberts birthday on the old registration is wrong and they can't fix it. He has to go to motor vehicle to get it fixed. He has to get some paperwork sent to them before they can register it, in the mean time he has some temporary registration.
All I keep saying is: I can't wait to get the customer survey form about this sale!!

When I moved I made a decision not to tell my "father" and "sister" that I was moving. When I got here I sent out change of address forms and only notified 3 of my relatives that I had moved and informed them that I didn't want them telling anyone else where I was. I knew I could trust them. I also sent one to Bernie with notes inside to my "father" and "sister" which stated: that I had moved and at this time, I had decided not to tell them where I was. If there was any family news that they needed to get to me, they could call Bernie and I gave them her number.
She then mailed them from CT. This way they didn't know I was out of state.

Bernie received a call from my "sister", which she told me about. Of course when she told me she had a phone call for me, I started laughing. I don't think she had stopped laughing since she heard the message.
The message basically said: "Hi Bernie this is Judy. You can tell my sibling that if she is still that (I'm guessing angry), she can read about any family news in the newspaper. I consider this an act of divorce.
Once again she has taken things to the extreme and has read them her own way! She doesn't know that others in the family have my address and phone number to contact me. One of the reasons I moved was to eliminate the contact from both of them. They just didn't get I didn't want to hear from them.

I suppose that is all for now. I should go make something to eat and then do some more unpacking. Those elves still haven't shown up to help me do that task.
