Gah, for the first time in my life I forgot to renew my car tabs - because when I changed my address with the WA DOL they only updated it for my driver's license and not my car registration, and for some damn reason the USPS didn't forward my renewal notice either.
I'm amazed I haven't been pulled over for this yet; I guess I somehow managed to avoid cops for the past week. Not that there's a lot of cops out in White Center and I rarely drive to Seattle (like I did today...)
anyway I've renewed online, so technically I'm legal again even if I get pulled over before the tabs arrive. And cops are pretty lenient for me anyway... I'm white-passing. :P
just to be on the safe side I've also printed out the proof of renewal on the very unlikely event that I get pulled over driving up the street to the grocery store
anyway why the hell didn't USPS forward this mail? considering some of the stuff they have been forwarding, and all the charities who have managed to mail my new address directly...
submitted a complaint to USPS asking wtf happened
also worth noting that I've only gotten a tiny handful of actually forwarded mail, and there was a bunch of other stuff waiting for me that should have been forwarded but wasn't (like important stuff from banks)
So yeah it turns out the forwarding request never came through, go figure. Oh well, no real harm done, and I’m glad it got resolved.
