Well, I Finally Found Out When I'm Going To Court

I don't know about a bank, but armed robbery definitely crossed my mind, as did burglary. lol

 

Don't you dare!!

 

lol Don't worry. The counter-productivity of those choices is a powerful deterrent.

 

just say to the judge, "how else am i supposed to pay $1500?! after all, i got in trouble for STEALING. get it? i'm broke."

 

Maybe I'll rob the judge before court tomorrow. That'll probably postpone my court appearance AND it'll get me some money. lol Double-win

 

Recently the thought crossed my mind twice, not seriously though.
First time I was at the bank and there were loading the ATM's with twenty's, four stacks 36" tall of twenty's. Considering a pack of bills is roughly an inch thick and a pack of twenty dollar bills is $2000, we're talking over $70,000 per stack and there were four stacks!

Next time was a couple of weeks ago at the same bank and one of the tellers was verifying the count on packs of $100 bills, 9 of them, At $10,000 a pack that was a lot of cheddar.

But the payoff would have to be big enough to never have to worry about $$ for a very long time to even start to think seriously about it, and $100,000 isn't enough in my mind.

 

Indeed. The risk to $$$ ratio is less than acceptable.

 

cheesus

 

with inflation that 1500 will be like .04 in a few years..

 

Well it turns out I don't have to go to jail. I guess I got one of the GOOD public defenders. lol He got the fines reduced to a total of $1000 also, but after probation fees and other miscellaneous fees, it comes out to $2408. lol Shit, I'd have rather done 2 months in jail with no fines, but they didn't give me that option.

I also got 24 months of probation, but that's over as soon as the fines are paid off.

Either way, I got off easy, because the judge said he could've given me up to a year in jail, which would've sucked donkey balls.

 

yay!

 

Well, you got 2 years to pay off what is a car payment for some.

Being jobless as well, I know that's easier said than done, but it's a nice way to look at it =)

 

Oh it's definitely doable. It's just a matter of finding a job, even though I've been pretty constantly looking for one for well-over a year, minus the couple of months I was fortunate enough to have a temporary position.

 

At any rate, it's time to pop the top on my celebratory post-court/pre-noon Four Loko and get nicely twisted

Oh, I forgot to mention....one of the conditions of my probation is that I can't go to walmart until I'm off probation. lol I've lost count of how many times I've been banned from walmart

 

We'll have to cancel plans of baking a hacksaw into a cake and sending it to you.

 

ve only been banned once. lol

 

hahahahaha That would've been very thoughtful, nonetheless.

lol I've heard this story, but tell me again

 

Thats awesome TopNotch!
Your freedom is worth much more than a couple grand, dude.

 

well sounds good man, you can do the payments! it may take time, but you will grow into a better person when given that time!!

haha you can't go into wal-mart till this is over...that is TOOOO funny

glad things are ok for you, ill send mad energy so you can get a job man!

 

Yeah I feel ya. I'm sure you understand my situation though. lol From where I sit, nothing is worth ANYTHING if I can't make it to my lady. I'm gonna make that happen though, because I'm gonna spend all of my time applying for jobs online. After today, of course. lol I'm using today to just relax and be thankful that I'm not in jail at the moment.

Thanks for the vibes, vibes. lol I can definitely make the payments. It's just a matter of figuring out HOW I'm gonna make the payments. It's gonna be at least $50 per week, mandatory, and that begins next monday.
