Well

There's good and bad....

And for once the bad doesn't out way the good....hopefully...

The bad, Between going to a local Sci-Fi Anime com, paying bills and stuff I some how didn't catch that I was short 10 bucks for my budget...

So for now I'm sitting on a pretty bad over draft...

Now the Good.

I worked Security at the Local Sci-Fi / anime con and got in for half price. When I was done with the con My parents came over to visit my sister, but since I am in the same house as my sister they saw me too!

So right off two good things, Went to Con, and saw my parents!

Well one thing I was afraid to try this year was filing my taxes, I was afraid that since I made so little, I wouldn't have paid enough into taxes and I'd only owe more money ...

BUT...

After getting the Pidly amount I made done I got back almost 15,000 bucks! Yah it's like just under 300 from state, and just over 12 hundred from Federal, and

AND

They saw the money I made and suggested I try for Unemployment again, and some how I actually got something from it!

Now before you go thinking I'm one of those 99 weekers keep in mind I made a bout a month of unemployment and ran out of money, so I haven't had a penny of help since two years ago!

Also it isn't A LOT it's just over a hundred a week ,but will help a lot even though I can't imagine it'll last to long.

OH yah I forgot I went to contest the last ticket I got, remember the cop said that "All you have to do is say there's ice, and it'll go away" well I had to Subpoena him and hope for the best.

So after weeks of stress and worry I head to the courthouse and the whole time I'm hoping for either him to tell the truth, or him to not show up.

If he was going to lie I was ready to Subpoena the video from the dash cam, or something, but what I was worried about most of all was the cop doing the right thing showing up telling the truth, and the judge just saying the whole thing didn't matter because it only matters what's on the police report.

So thing started off bad because they rescheduled the court to a different room (On the sheet I got it said room 5) and I showed up and there was no schedule for that room.

So if your name doesn't show up check the schedules for the other courtrooms for your name...
Nothing ... awesome .. So I went to the Cashier (What they tell you to do if your name is on no schedule) and they said I was in room 5, I sat there for almost 20 minuets and the room didn't open AND I was the only one in line (Keep in mind I had two separate sources saying I should be in that room) I gave up and went back to the Cashier and there all "Oh well now your scheduled for courtroom 6!"

So already it looks pretty bad...

I sit down and there's a TON of people in front of me, and it's always interesting to see the cases ahead of me.

One was a dude given a ticket for his exhaust being to loud, of course he fought it because his car was exempt from that law (being over 25 years old) and was found innocent,

Another was a lady who was caught using her cell phone...but she was trying to fight the EXTENT that her phone was up to her ear, and that she was at a stop sigh... so yah she was found guilty.

So here it was my turn... I walk up to the stand ... the judge reads my ticket...

She's all "I see you got a continuance and subpoenaed an officer"

"Yes your Honor!"

"Well he's not here so case dismissed!"

"That's it? Your honor?"

"Yes you are free to go!"

As I walked out the door I heard someone clapping, I was so relieved I could barley believe what happened!

So I don't know when my Taxes will show up but it will be nice when they do and as long as my bank dose what there supposed to my overdraft won't get any bigger, and I can take care of it with either some quick commissions of something,

So all and all not a bad week so far, while it was awesome to see my parents and go to the con, I'll believe unemployment and Taxes when I see it!

That's all for now!
Donut out!
