Well my day sucked. I woke up early this morning to go to traffic court for a speeding ticket I got. I walk outside and find my tire flat. So I put on the spare and get to court late. Luckily I made it in the courtroom before the judge came in (the bailiff was just explaining things, he yelled at me though). So I wait my turn and the judge calls me up to ask me how I plead. I say guilty and she reduces the fine to $100 (was going to be nearly $300 if I didn’t go into court). After that I stood in this long line that went around the building to pay the fine. They only window open for people to pay. I was in line for nearly an hour. Finally got out of there and went to the electric company to pay my electricity bill. After that I went home for lunch and to change into my work clothes. Then I take my Comcast cable box and modem in to their office to return the equipment so they don’t charge me for it. After that I go to the tire shop to get a used tire (they are cheaper). Luckily they had one. New ones cost a lot more.

Apparently I put the lug nuts on backwards when I put the spare on this morning and could have killed myself according to the guy who put my new tire on. Oops. Then I finally make it into work, already tired from running around all day, and still have 6 and half hours left to go.

Slow down Nebulous! According to all your topics about speeding and the ticket fees, you could have saved up enough money to come down to Alabama and pick me up to go to Six Flags: Magic Mountain! Woah, you need a radar detector--best investment my mom has ever made. She will be going 25-30 MPH over the speed limit, but whenever her radar detector goes off she hits the brake and makes us fly forward in the car, but it messes with the cop's radar gun. She has never had a ticket since she was 16 when she bought a radar detector. Definitely consider such an investment.



Yeah, maybe you have 6 1/2 more hours to go at work, but be glad you're at work and not in the morgue lol

Yeah that sounds like a plan.. If they dont get me for speeding they will probably get me for something else though.

That does suck. But at least you weren't in an accident with the car. It could be worse.
