Erin, I'm glad you weren't badly hurt. It will all be all right eventually. And, now you have the prettiest mugshot ever taken.
Last August I got pulled over for turning right on red when I shouldn't have, and I couldn't find my insurance card, and it turned out my registration had been expired for a YEAR and my driver's license had expired three days previous. I almost collapsed. They towed my car, and thank goodness I had no outstanding tickets. I still can't believe I was that careless. But it happens - one minute everything's normal, the next minute, OMGWTF did I do?

Suppose you drag them into the yard first, Suzi?
Yes, sj, yes.
I feel like a need a wheel of fortune to pick the victim as it changes from moment to moment.
I hate feeling snarly.
Y'all give such good advice. Although if someone asked me to do comm serv, I might just have to scream "I am a teacher in an underserved inner-city high school! Just take some fucking money, k? Cause if I have to go somewhere else to do comm serv, it's like sending a hooker to to be a sex therapist."
Lawyer up, huh? I don't know any lawyers. Damn the humanities degree -- I know teachers and IT people. Anyone got any leads on a KC lawyer, who can at least rec a traffic/car lawyer?
I am going to take a hot shower and go to bed early so I can get up and grade papers -- I did not touch them, and I have a stack in the back seat of my car, which is untouchable till tomorrow, dammit. I did get a study guide for Hill House final done, and the essay options and rubric for "Always Running" done, which as frazzizzled as I feel (what would the letter Z do without Snoop? Huh?? He should do a cameo on Sesame Street, fo reals) is a fucking miracle.
Ah, well. My students won't complain if I make them just turn in their conclusion as a final, yo. We can work more on the revising next semester, right? I made them revise once already.
Arrrrgggghhhhh.
Your students will love you for not making them revise again.
Erin, check with Gud, maybe, for lawyer recs? I was pulled over for expired tags once, and the officer told me if I got them renewed before court, they wouldn't take them (Oklahoma, at the time they'd take your plates if you're caught driving after the registration expires) and I could keep driving.
When I told the clerk of courts that before the trial, she called the judge and the ticket was dropped and the officer was reprimanded. I have not, thankfully, ever been caught without insurance, though I have driven without it, so I'm feeling sick on your behalf, Erin. Money is such a difficult thing.
"Send lawyers, guns and money."
I wish I knew what song that's from.
Connie, the song is, oddly enough, "Lawyers, Guns and Money", by Warren Zevon.
