Discovering Myself

Most of this was my fault, but still it sucked.  Ok, so I got a ticket for not registering my car with the state.  I was about 8 months late, an oversight on my part.  I immediately got my tag when i was cited, just because I didn’t realise.  I forgot to pay the citation.  WELL!!!  Failure To Appear is apparently big business for the state of Georgia.  They raked in a good $113.00 extra bucks on me.

That’s not even the good part.  So I leave work at 12 to go find the court and get settled and everything in order, which I always do so I can get paperwork if needed.  Well, I get lost going to the courthouse.  There apparently were some road name changed in the area so the roads I was looking for weren’t labled correctly.  I eventually found the parking lot that I parked in before and parked there.  That took an hour.  So I’m there about an hour before I’m supposed to register.

I go ahead and register, it’s about 1pm and the trials are at 3pm.  So I go get something to eat, I hadn’t eaten lunch just yet.  Well that took me a grand total of 20 minutes.  So I sit in the waiting area for about an hour, then get a call from a vendor and then call my boss to discuss some things and get more work for myself in the process… grrr.

Anyway, so I get into the trial, I plead guilty, because I was.  He reduces the fines and I’m on my way.  Well I go pay and get a reinstatment for my license.  WELL the lady at the cash register gives me the wrong person’s waiver!  So I get to the DMV and I look at the waiver and I’m like, WTF!

So I drive all the way back to the court house, get the right form and then go BACK to the DMV and wait for about 30 minutes.

I’m just glad it’s over and out of the way.  Now life can move on.

Hopefully this headache will go away soon.
