Maybe not so efficient....

...the City of Cleveland, that is. I blogged before about a traffic ticket I got in Cleveland, via an intersection camera. I paid the ticket. The next month, I got my credit card statement and saw that Dollar Rentacar *also* paid the ticket. (plus $60 for something or other, late fees or whatever). I called Dollar about it (I think) or maybe the city of Cleveland, and got a message back saying it was double ticketed or something.

In any case, I assumed they might be taking the charge off the credit card (haven't gotten the current statement yet). But no, today I get a nice letter from Cleveland, with a check for $160. Yeah! One catch, however. Pay to the Order of: The City of Cleveland. Whoops. Civil service at work.....

I'm just gonna fax them tomorrow (I tried to call today and got a recording, so might as well fax a note back so they can see the problem). I assume it will all get sorted out, but I dunno, I'm thinking I might even come out $60 ahead here. Sheesh.

Edit: I came back from lunch today to a message to call the office. I tried, really I did. But I could not figure out how, in three attempts, to get a live person on the line. Harrumph....

This comment has nothing to do with your post -- just to say I'm delighted to find your blog, and that Dan Bern line is one of my all-time favorite lyrics.
