did I kill a kitten or something?
Or welcome to my blog after the joys of defensive driving videos. Even as we speak, I'm waiting for the @#$%ing built in break to be up so I can take another one of the exams. My recommendation? Take the real classes.
About 3 months ago I got a ticket driving on post. Just one ticket. (I haven't had one in 10 years before coming here, and it's not because I was just lucky.) The back part of post. On the way to work at 4:30 a.m. And therefore lost onpost driving privelleges for 90 days. Woot. I definitely don't agree with the severity of the punishment, but nor do I agree with the recommendation of the martial provost office, which was to try to get out of the ticket altogether. (which is what most people do.) I was wrong. I wasn't that frickin' wrong, but I was in the wrong. So I took the punishment.
However to get my onpost privelleges reestablished, I have to wait out the 90 days, get a letter from my commander, and take a defensive driving class. I chose to try the video rather than sit through the class with the court mandates and the D.W.I.s.........bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad mistake. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy, and it definitely falls under the cruel and unusual punishment clause..........Sigh.
Time's up! I can take the next exam.......yay. Only four more hours to go....................
