These new beginnings scare me,
As I feel ill prepared,
Even unworthy,
To be in this place.
I have a bad feeling about this.
But I couldn't stay where I was at,
Much longer.
Yet I still miss it,
As familiarity brings comfort.
I have received counsel from many,
And have been encouraged,
To stay where I am now at.
Yet my heart is anxious,
And I wonder inside,
If I made the right choice.

So I got a $75 ticket yesterday for going straight in a turn lane, yet the arrows on the street were all but completely faded. I'm thinking of taking a picture of them and bringing them to court, although the last time I pled innocent the cop actually lied to the judge. In that instance the ticket was given to me for driving down a closed road, and the cop actually accused me of moving a barricade, which I didn't do. So I took it to court and he denied ever accusing me of moving the barricade. Ah well, such is life I guess. It just sucks because my finances are hurting a bit this month for some reason, though I should be in a much better spot when Friday finally rolls around, especially since I worked overtime on a holiday last week (4th of July). It also sucks because this is my first ticket in over 2 years, and I've worked really hard to keep my driving record clean.

When's the last time you got a ticket?

In related news my job is going alright, though I am hoping to get better hours soon. I currently work mostly nights and have Sundays through Tuesdays off. Yet a position with more normal hours will likely be opening up soon and my boss told me she'll let me know when it's available ASAP. I'm hoping that happens soon as well. In the meantime though, I am thankful that I have a job, and am hoping and praying it will be enough to pull me through this month with the unexpected expenses (driving ticket, etc.) I encountered.

On a scale of 1 to 10 how happy are you with your job?
