They aren't coming back to life. Then when I tried to get this done the agent hung up on me because I told her the county I am in wants me to pay for another certificate to get this done and I wanted a refund that I shouldn't have to pay for it twice.

Now I don't know if the rules changed or I happened to get ahold of a very helpful employee by the name of Tyler. He walked me right through what was needed including attaching a legal description of my property so that I can finally get my current name on the auditor's website. Tyler was also very prompt in answering my questions. I really appreciate it. And for those of us who are lucky enough to have at last paid off the house, your taxes can be withdrawn monthly from your bank account. That is a lot easier than getting the big bill at the same time your Christmas bills come in. And they pay you interest even though interest these days does not amount to much. The main thing is that your tax bill is paid and you don't have to worry about anything except making sure you have sufficient funds in the bank for MONTHLY taxes. They make it so easy to budget.

I won't kid you... I fully expected that having to go downtown to get our dogs registered was going…read moreto be a very painful process. It turned out our pet store was no longer handling the acquisition/renewal of dog licenses. They told me that another nearby pet store was probably still doing it, but I called them, and they were out of tags. So, there I was, on the last day before license fees doubled (which was completely my fault) headed downtown to fill out a bunch of paperwork. I have never been crazy about the process of licensing. However, having to go downtown, find a parking space and so forth somehow seemed less preferable than going less than a mile to fill out the paper. However, it turned out the process WAS actually pretty painless. Actually, it was quite convenient, because everything's computerized... and, of course, sorted by owner names. So the person helping me had all the dogs called up, old ID's, numbers and everything. What's more... just before making this trip, I discovered (in the process of gathering our dogs rabies numbers) that one of our dogs' rabies vaccination had expired. So I had already made an appointment for the shot for the next day, and told the clerk I would be coming back and registering the last dog tomorrow. She said I could just call in the new number the next day, so I wouldn't have to make the trip and pay double for the one dog. So, I took R.C. to the vet, got the shot, called in the new rabies number... bang. All set. All-in-all, I was in and out within 20 minutes, and I spent most THAT time walking in the County building or in the elevator (they only take cash or check, so I had to ride down five floors to the nearest ATM). So, yeah, this experience actually turned out great.

I got a letter in the mail about a month in advance that included very detailed instructions, everything from how to get there and where to park, to what to wear and how much I'd get paid ($25 a day). When the day officially arrived, it was pretty easy to report. Everyone was really friendly and helpful. They've done really good work in regards to making the process as painless as possible. Everyone from security to the parking attendants made me feel like I was a VIP. Everyone knew I was there to fulfill my civic duty thanks to the badges we were asked to wear. A few other tidbits... The cafe was solid with a lot of food options and the view of the city up there was beautiful. I had no problem at all with the wifi and was able to get some work done while I was there. They kept the room we were in stocked with free water and coffee and played movies all day long. They even had guest speakers come in and talk to us about the court process. While I didn't end up getting selected to serve on a jury, it was really cool to see the inner workings of things. Whenever I get summoned again, I won't be as disgruntled about it now that I know what to expect.

Okay, sometimes it's still not great, but it is way better than it used to be. The post office usually has friendly people at the counter, and lines move. And random government offices like this one are actually a joy to visit. Well, maybe not a joy, but seriously, not depressing and really pretty nice. We needed to pick up Baby K's birth certificate. Yes, you can mail in a form, but I had a good experience at the Ohio Vital Records office downtown and wanted to give this place a shot. And try a BBQ place nearby, but surely that didn't influence my itinerary... Anyway, I found this easily. Right at the corner of Main and Parsons is the big Columbus Public Health complex. Swing around back, and there is a big, free parking lot. Walk in and the records windows are to the left. I had my form filled out already, but you can pick them up there. Take your payment and form to the window on the right, closer to the entrance, then go back and wait near the window on the left. They'll call you up (I waited less than 5 minutes,) and then you're done. Boom. That's it. Birth certificates cost $25; they have fancy ones for more, I believe, though that might just be at the Ohio records office. The employees were friendly and obviously efficient. I ended up with plenty of free time. Go check it out.
