It's Official

Yup, you read right. It's official. I am officially an adult! I paid my ticket. I went down to the courthouse this morning and met with a Justice of the Peace to discuss that pesky bus lane ticket I got a few weeks back. I'm gonna sound pretty snobby when I say this next thing but so be it - I was the best dressed one in line at traffic court! Ha ha ha! Some guy was talking about how he got a $175 ticket for walking home drunk. Can you believe it?! He told the cops that he shoulda just drove home, and the cop screamed, "You would've driven drunk?" And the guy said at least he could've avoided them. The Justice of the Peace knocked $58 off my ticket but the demerits stayed - damn! Apparently you have 14 demerits to lose on a license but the good news is if you do lose some, they're only lost for two years and then they're wiped out and you're good to go!

The best thing happened at work today - the power went out for almost an entire hour! I felt like I was eight again...it was like...recess! It wasn't dark or anything cuz it was daytime and there's lots of windows but the computers weren't working, the photocopiers didn't work, you couldn't get hot water but it wasn't even an hour so that didn't matter all that much. However, I did make sure people knew to ration their snacks and eased their minds by letting them know I could make a fire in a garbage can if need be! Always looking out for my neighbour!

Gotta run. The timer just went off and I have to get my lemon poppy seed loaf outta the oven so I can bring it to work to share with my friends! Night!
