Well... I messed up pretty bad tonight. First thing I've ever done to earn myself an actual court date.
Secluded highway with no one on it and still two more hours to get home.. Next thing I know there's some pretty lights in my mirror and he clocked me at 88 mph. Which is criminal (anything over 85 in az is reckless driving).
Yep. I'm officially freaking out about this.
Thought it was just a fine but apparently there's a pretty real possibility of jail time.

One of our trucks got pulled over for doing 87 in AZ, I don't know what they actually got written for, but I do know they got away with traffic school.

Go in front of the judge, act sorry, explain that you are about to complete medic school, and this infraction may greatly affect your ability to work and livelyhood. Then ask if you could work a bunch of community service hours to get it down to 84 or a lesser charge.

Edit: If you're really worried, find one of those 200 dollar attorney's for traffic court and get them to handle it.
You need a lawyer. Get a local one that knows the system and you'll be okay.

They normally only cite it as excessive speed (criminal speeding). He decided to give me that and reckless driving. For a total of what will be 11 points on my license if it goes through, which will be a suspension if I get any more violations at all within 3 years.
It's a total of a potential 6 months jail and minimal 1,300 of fines. So... Yep an atty is retained as of this morning.

My day off has kind of gone by faster than I wish, but the morning was pretty productive so I can't complain. And the fact that I got an hour nap in.

How's everyone elses day going?

Waiting to hear from my fixed wing interview. The interview and testing was harder than hell, but I did very well :)

I as well (same partner as mentioned below in fact). I donated $100 to our local food bank.


I find humor in the size difference between my usual partner and myself:

I wish I could have. The person who challenged me requested where I was to make my donation to (wildland firefighters foundation).

Civil service list came out today. Pretty much right where I need to be for the upcoming academy as long as I pass the next step, which I can not control so a little nerve racking. I know a few people on here know people that were in the process? Interested to know how they did!
