sometimes a girl needs a good laugh or three. especially when you've been in phone hell with the wake county district court. i found ETIQUETTE HELL to be of use in passing that time while waiting. i believe that etiquette hell has to be a step above phone hell in the purgatory level thing of catholicism.
but that is beside the point.
so, i got a speeding ticket back in april & was given a court date of june 14. given that the officer gave me a break by giving me the ticket for 9 over, & since it wouldn't effect my insurance points, i elected to pay the stinkin' $110. i mailed the cashier's check ("no cash or personal checks or bloody bits, please") (i might have made up the bloody bits portion of that) last week.
i spent one & a half hours (that's 90 minutes or 5,400 seconds for all you bozos) in phone hell trying to reach a live person at the traffic court to simply verify they received this payment. they have horrendous hold music. it sounds like creepy b-movie tracks with sicko bob hacking in the corner with his cigars somewhere amidst the wheezing horns & 80s keyboard. they also miraculously cut off their message everytime it got to the point where it was supposed to tell you the estimated wait time left for you.
please continue to hold. your call is very important to us & we recognize your time is very important to you. in order to better assist callers, it is sometimes necessary for us to put your call on hold. your call will be answered in the order it was received. your estimated hold time is [STRANGE CUTOFF NOISES] [cut to b-music with sicko bob].
i'm guessing they couldn't say that my hold time was 83 minutes & 21 seconds since i'd likely go ballistic.
of most interest is that the traffic & criminal court matters are all handled throught he criminal district court. thus, i was apparently on hold with convicted felons. since i was close to livid while waiting on the phone, i wonder what fitty-one cent & puffy-mc-pop-a-cap-in-yo-ass was thinking. most likely something i won't repeat.
all that to say, i finally reached latonjaah (yes, that's how she spelled it) who confirmed that my payment had been received & would be applied. i wanted to tell her to say hi to fitty-one cent for me & to tell him i vacated the phone line immediately upon receipt of my information, but i thought better of it.
