John fights a speeding ticket?
OK so...
I went to Somerville district court this morning to fight a speeding ticket. My boss called my cell before I left wondering where I was because nobody heard from me. He forgot the 2 times I reminded him verbally and the email I sent him last week.
The security guy was cool. When I dropped some change he asked if there was anything else under the X Ray machine. Yes there was...a used Q Tip.
And even though there were signs that you couldn't bring in cell phones and couldn't eat or drink in the building people were chowing down and talking it up.
There was also a guy walking back and forth in the lobby with a box full of Stop and Shop bags that had biohazard symbols on them.
I checked in with the lady at the desk (early I might add) and she told me to sit on a bench and she would call me when they were ready.
Never having done this before, I sat and waited...and waited...and waited.
Finally after an hour and a half of this woman and other people walking by, and overhearing people talking to their lawyers about all sorts of illegal shit and reading the docket on the wall showing how many herion addicts and violent criminals were visiting today I catch the woman walking by and ask if she normally makes people wait this long...
"FOR WHAT?" she says. She then takes my paperwork and vanishes.
She never called me. And the person I needed to talk to went home. So the best they can do is reschedule me for the same day as Gigantour (which I suppose is luck the show got pushed back and I already had the day off) and sort of say "Sorry..."
I went home and freshened up and changed. Now it's 1:30 and I just got to work. I'm still not caught up from taking time off last week so now I'll have to probably work late and then I have to take tomorrow off to go to Salem court at 8:30 am for that idiot who tried to stab us almost a year ago or else I go to jail.
The system truly has failed..
