Subject: I was going to be Mac!!!

I was ready. Had my story (which I had to rehearse several times to make sure I didn't incriminate my somewhat guilty self) and was going to stick to it. I was NOT going to pay $227 for a speeding ticket!! Highway robbery!! I was going to be MAC, dammit!

Okay if not Mac, then at least Tiner. Tiner got Gunny off. I could do that. Who can't be Tiner?

Ended up being Big Bud... sorta.

I'm not totally ignorant. I read the sign on the door. No food or drinks, blah blah blah. Got it. Hid the drink in the purse. Nazi baliff told us to turn off the cell phones and pagers. Vibrate was as close as he was going to get. Now, technically, when one is using a Blackberry to check email - it shouldn't be considered a phone, should it? I think not. In this po-dunk, one-courtroom courthouse they tried civil cases first, then the jail guys (criminal?), and then comes traffic court. WTH? And then they go in friggin alphabetical order. I'm a "W". So they expect me to just sit there all that dead (to me) time twiddling my thumbs? Yes? Well okay, so that is what I was doing...on my Blackberry...till the Nazi loomed over me looking strangly like my third grade teacher, misnamed Mrs. Love, threatening to take it away if I don't put it away. I put it away, hastilly. Don't think my IT guy could fix that. Hoped the judge hadn't noticed. I still had dreams of being Mac for a minute.

When my turn.. er case came up I was given two options: come back for a real trial or pay the taxes and have the ticket dismissed. All that planning and plotting and all I got to say was "pay the taxes, Your Honor". Thank you. Next case. What a let down. LOL! Well at least it was less than $227.00. So, I did do a Mac kinda win - she often got those half-wins against Harm. LOL!

BTW, went to meeting this morning - had the Blackberry on the table. The phone of the woman sitting next to me started to ring. It was in the bottom of her purse and she couldn't get to it quickly. In her haste to jump up and take it outside she knocked over her bottled water. my gawd. Saved my baby just in the nick of time. I'm starting to think I need to go back to ye olde pen and paper.
