I was pulled over for speeding this morning. While going *with* the flow of traffic, and *after* I pulled over to let the tailgating cop behind me going past.
Said tailgating cop then kept asking me questions that I couldn't hear (because the traffic rushing by on the highway played hell with my tinnitus), ignored my repeated statements that I couldn't understand him because I'm partially deaf, AND handed me a ticket for going a lot faster than I actually was.
I've already requested a hearing on this one. I'm more than willing to pay my traffic fines, but this is a bogus citation and I want my day in Court.
Even better - I then had to go to Athol for the morning because the front desk person there called in sick. So I had to drive an additional fifty miles today (yes, I'm putting in for mileage). And to top it all off, I had to go to the dentist to have the stronger temporary filing put in, then schedule my appointment for the preliminary work on my crown.
Like I said. If this is how the rest of the year will go, shoot me now, Lord.
