i have concluded that God must simply be giggling right now at my absurdity. i got a ticket this morning on the way home from the gym, rushing to pick up donuts for a work meeting & get home in time to take a shower. i apparently was speeding in a school zone & got selected to win the (pink slip) prize (worth about $110 for court costs + a penalty). i am grateful that he was nice enough to not write it for 40 in a 25 (reckless driving in NC) or give me a penalty for the school zone violation. so technically, it won't affect my insurance although i will get points on my license.
i'd say that now i have some more fodder for this week's upcoming discussion on cycnicism!
CYNICISM
- 1 - An attitude of scornful or jaded negativity, especially a general distrust of the integrity or professed motives of others: the public cynicism aroused by governmental scandals.
- 2 - A scornfully or jadedly negative comment or act: “She arrived at a philosophy of her own, all made up of her private notations and cynicisms” (Henry James).
yep, that's me. representin' ol' henry james about now!
at least i can laugh about it.
it's better than crying.
