Ok, so some have heard me complain in chat about my ticket...48 in a 35...not a big deal right? I mean, hell, the fine is only $35...

Except the court costs, even though I'm NOT going to court, are $183!! So grand total is $218. Wouldn't be a big deal if I weren't broke.

Now for the other part...I had a side job lined up to get the money to pay for this ticket. I had scheduled it almost two weeks in advance knowing the money would be going towards this ticket. I get a text today stating the guy has to back out on the work. Not because he's broke, but because he "wants to have his vehicle for the entire weekend since it's going to be nice out." Wow...thanks for the short notice cancellation, jackass. This now leaves me struggling to acquire some form of sidework or something to accumulate the money I need before the 14th when my ticket is due paid or NC is going to suspend my license.

So, for the record, I hate this state, and I hate assholes who cancel last minute. End rant.
