Oy....today I was planning on starting
a new project. Community service. Yes, I am a dirty speeder and got
busted. No, it wasn't on the freeway, no I wasn't drunk. I was lost
and didn't realize I was driving in an extended school zone (meaning
it went for 2 miles past the school itself) because I was not
familiar with the territory and made a wrong turn into said zone.
The officer was lovely and I got a $199 fine for going 34mph. I
thought traffic school would be a viable option, I'd done it before,
7 years ago it was fun and a lot cheaper than the ticket. Not in
this case, in this case it is on;y a $15 savings. Bugger. I just
feel $199 is too much cash for a ticket, so I asked if they would
allow me to work off my fine. I like people, I like fresh air. They
agreed and I get to do 22hours of service for Pinal County. I have
until June 9th to put in my time. I have to be honest,
right now, I'm not feeling like it's going to happen today.....
Today will be better spent organizing
the avalanche of loose papers I have piling up around this room.
Right now, they make me crazy and are useless. Properly stored in a
binder with tabs, they become accessible information. There is
nothing like a really really crappy job to make a formerly
unappealing task look really really fun and doable! Perspective.
Of course, it is not even 5am here and
my mind will probably change 100 times before 7am. A little coffee,
a little yoga, a little meditation and it will all turn out a-okay.
It always does.
