Put it on my tab

I get up early, I am like totally on the ball, I get the kids out the door, for ONCE I am not going to be late to Accounting and it is going to be a great day.  Fail...  Epic Fail...

Coming out of Starbucks I turn on Beacon Rd to start heading to School in Ybor.  I don't normally go down this road, but whatever.  Pass the flashing yellow light for the school zone going faster than the approved 15 miles per hour and get tagged by a policeman.  I am remembering a line from the movie Dan in Real Life, "Put it on my tab".  Not only is it my second speeding ticket in 6 months, but it is the SAME cop that gave me the first ticket!  GRR.  He is nice enough to only makes me pay the regular ticket price instead of the double amount you would normally have to pay when speeding in a school zone, but the ticket is still $189.  Double GRRR!  I tried to slow down! If only I had my concealed and was considered one of the "good guys".  :o(

I get to school, almost on time, and I am making a turn that I have been making since the semester started when BOOM I hit the curb...with both passenger side tires...it knocks me out of gear, so when I go to step on the gas, hurriedly running from my embarrassment, it guns the engine and I go NOWHERE.  *SIGH*

I want to cry.  I park and since I may need proof of the reason that I am late, I slip my beautiful ticket into my bag and get a BLEEDING PAPERCUT.  I am so mad and upset and have a quiz in Accounting so I can't skip and am meeting Jason later to go get the livescan done at the Tampa Police Dept (like I WANT to see another police officer anytime soon), so I call him to have him pick me up a little earlier because I don't feel like doing typing drills today.  He's asking what is wrong and I don't want to admit that I got ANOTHER speeding ticket or mention anything about that stupid Kia that I am grateful for, but wish would die. 

Worst day ever.

It got better by the end of the day as it always does, but this is one for the record books.
