traffic court was about 3 hours worrying (total) for about 20 minutes of court time, of which only maybe 2 was mine. oh, and i didn't have to say a word--i got up, handed the proof of insurance and vehicle registration to the attorney for the state, he moved for something or other like dismissal, and the judge granted and ordered the clerk to give me my license. i then had to wait another minute or so for her to process paperwork and hand it to me and i was done. it did kind of sap the energy out of the day, though.
it also would have been less time consuming and stressful if i had remembered to take my knife out of my bag before going down there. i at least realized before being security-screened by the sheriff's deputies, so i went and found a post office and mailed it to myself, but now it'll be a day or two before i have it back. (of course, had i driven, i could have just left it in the car, but parking downtown is so expensive that for something like this on a day like today, i'd rather waste time on public transit than money on parking.)
