Parking ticket

judecorpI got a parking ticket this morning. I am so furious about it.
I'm furious because I didn't have any other freaking /options/. And I DO like options. I got to my home visit on time, and circled the street THREE times with no parking in sight. You see, this particular housing complex borders a university or two in the area and the whole freaking street was packed to the gills with cars that were not residents. It was so infuriating! I was paranoid about being too late for the visit (first impressions and all of that), and I didn't want to risk parking in the complex lot and the potential of getting towed, so I squeezed in on the street juuuuuust covering a handicap ramp on the sidewalk.
And I felt totally bad about it because I'm pro-accessibility, but I didn't know what else to do in the heat of the moment. I drove that whole freaking neighborhood three times!
Well, now I know what I can do about it. Pay 50 freaking bucks that we don't have. I am so livid I could spit fire. What the heck do they expect me to do in that situation??!?!? I'd appeal, but I don't know if that will put Jen in jeopardy. (The car is registered to her, so technically the ticket is hers.)
Argh argh argh argh I hate this crap I want a job where the people come to ME argh argh argh!
(On the plus side, I got to see Ms. Shani Jean tonight. Yay!)
