She seems to be doing a bang-up job of painting her back with a bulls-eye.<br /><br />“I’m hopeful that we can all work together and we can come to a compromise that I feel comfortable with in regards to my duties as register of deeds, protecting my employees and protecting the taxpayers of Knox County,” she said.<br /><br />You'll do what the voters tell you to do, Sherry. You and every other elected official. You work for us, and the only reason you're allowed to "negotiate" is the same reason Burchett's allowed to "negotiate" - enough people aren't annoyed at this childish nonsense.<br /><br />Yet.<br /><br />“I think (Witt) was concerned that there were things she needed to run her office and the money wouldn’t be there and it would fall negatively on her,” he said.<br /><br />Uh, yeah, it's pretty bad when an elected official blows their budget. That WOULD fall negatively on her or anyone that does, and rightfully so.<br /><br />My keyboard for public servants without these damned egos.<br /><br />By the way, never purchase anything - ANY. THING. - from Airport Honda. Or a Joe Jemley. Thank God they're sloppy with paperwork or we'd have been shafted on a used car. Bastards couldn't even have the truck road-ready for its pre-purchase inspection until most of the paperwork was already finished. (Most. Not all. Thankfully.) <br /><br />When the truck bombed the inspection ($32 and a bit of change at Buckner's Automotive on Sutherland, and WELL WORTH EVERY DAMNED DIME!), we figured, "oh, okay, well - we just won't complete the rest of the paperwork and we'll get our truck back".<br /><br />Oh no. Not according to Joe "Jackass" Jemley. <br /><br />Informing Jackass Jemley of the situation earned five minutes of the "hard-sell" routine as his bald, bloated carcass did his very best (which sucked out loud) to stick my wife and I with this truck.<br /><br />I told him I didn't have time for the hardass routine, and to relinquish my wife's truck.<br /><br />He said "The 2000's your truck now. Your wife's truck is ours. Have a good one." <br /><br />Calling the police did no good. But calling the bank did. Thankfully, Jackass Jemley doesn't know enough about his own damn place of employment to be a proper sales manager and, y'know, teach his crew to actually close the sale and get all of the bank's conditions met BEFORE engaging in thievery and lemon-selling.<br /><br />Sorry, Jemley. The bank doesn't think we can make the income requirement now. Also, one of the other conditions is getting OUR title for OUR '97, which you're just not going to be able to do.<br /><br />Not everyone, unfortunately, can be lucky enough to get out of a situation like this - which is why I would buy a FLEET of cars from Greg Lambert before I'd even consider returning to Airport Honda of Alcoa or EVER dealing with Jackass Joe Jemley ever again.<br /><br />(I know that rant's not related.
