Traffic "school"

Alerm clock didn't wake me up on time, when I opened my eyes, it was 15 minutes before 9am. I will be late for work for sure. I had that thoughts of avoiding the so called "analyst day" on our corporate campus, which is today. Basically it's a day for I-bank analysts to have whatever impression of our public image. I am sure I would bump into some alumni, which I am not enthusiastic about it at all in this circumstances. And I got this ticket thing in my mind since Jan. 28, 2004!! The amount is, now, $400. I am kind of numb to it now. After cops abuse ticketing system in my opinion. Naturally, Suprior court only open twice a week for total 4 hours for instant hearing, which on Tuesday and Thursday between 8 am and 10 am.

...

Finally I managed to beat the traffic arriving the hall of justice on time, only to find the best option is to pay this damn fine, otherwise my driver's license would have stayed being suspended, which I didn't even know. They told me my change of address only took effect on my DMV record, not on my registration, so the notification of suspension must have gone to my previous address. Is this the most unbelievable lie or not? Traffic departments are not communicating?

I then, drove my tired ass to City Hall where clerks work in the bright and spectacular palace like building, collecting money. While I was waiting in line, lot of tourists and kids were taking the tour: looking at City Hall, you will never figure out it actually functions beyond a tour spot. In this case, it actually generates revenue!

I made the payment, $400 for a ticket where I took a wrong turn 10 months ago, on the way to a performance dancing class where I suppose to share my idea with others.
