If he wants me to hate him...
I went to the mailbox today and found a letter from the King County Department of Development and Environmental Services. It said "FINAL NOTICE" on it. I thought "whatever on earth for?"
When the new furnace was installed in October of 2007, there was a permit of some kind involved and an inspection was required. I was unaware of this. Now the DDES wants to know where that permit is, because they never saw it, and if they did it wasn't approved by them.
What?
I can probably take care of this because I caught this in time (the letter is dated November 5), but if this is the FINAL NOTICE, where did the previous ones go? I'll tell you where they went. They were addressed to "Garret & Wynne Blue" instead of "Wynne & Garret Blue" like this one was. Anything addressed to Garret first gets forwarded to HIM by the USPS. I learned this the hard way, back when the stimulus check was sent to him instead of me. I probably wouldn't have seen a cent of it if I hadn't contacted him, and if I had been expecting any letters from the DDES I probably would have noticed them missing. If the final notice hadn't reached me I would be in violation of the law and expected to pay a fine of several hundred dollars.
If he killed himself I probably wouldn't hear about it, either. Being legally separated means that I'm not responsible for any of his debts and am not entitled to an inheritance either, which is fine with me.
By doing nothing even when I don't expect anything of him he continues to create problems for me. Not even trying. Just sitting on his butt, watching TV and playing WoW, getting his mail every couple of weeks and not looking at any of it. All I can do is hope he snaps out of whatever trance he's in and exercises some courtesy. We all know that won't happen, because courtesy takes effort.
This is what I get for forwarding his mail for him. No good deed goes unpunished.
