I have not been in an accident, I have not been pulled over for speeding, and I have not disobeyed the laws - hardly at all. I have, however, had a burnt out headlight. I was pulled over for it, and had no insurance. Now comes the ticket with court date. I go to court, get fined (391 dollars), finger printed, and released back into the wild.
Jump forward a few months. I am driving home through Yoder (blink and you miss it - horse carriages and all) and I am pulled over by the Sherif patrol. I was not speeding, had no burnt out lights, and was not under the influence of anything besides the clean laundry in the back seats. They ran my plates, saw I was the registered owner, and then pulled me over. I have no proof of insurance. Also, I found out my license has been suspended. So, I am arrested. I go to the jail (20 minute ride in cuffs in the back seat of a car listening to country music) get "checked in" and by that time, my parents had arrived with the bonds-lady to get me out. I now have a new ticket and court date.
I now know that in the state of Kansas, they do not have to tell you your license has been suspended. Apparently you find out when you are pulled over and taken to jail. So, if any of you fellow Kansans are reading this... you're welcome.
So, I am driven home by my wonderful girlfriend, Jessica. We make it back home safe, but rather late. It's 3am and I have a messed up neck from playing with my son during the weekend. So, I email work, telling them my situation, and that I will not make it to work.
I wake up, a little later than usual, and work has sent me an email asking me to contact them. I call them up, only to find out missing 2 days of work in my first 8 weeks is a terminable offense. Great.
In 48 hours, I have managed to get arrested, lose my license, and my job.
Welcome to my first blog.
