I apologize in advance for always sharing too much on this site. I don't have any other outlets so it all ends up on here.
I'm in a small predicament. Not worried, but it is annoying. Part of my probationary agreement was to enroll in a first offender program locally by a specific date and submit evidence of enrollment to the court. Enrollment requires a deposit, but I haven't had two pennies to pinch together, and I thought I would have had a job by then to pay for the fees. Well, that date is past, so now there's a warrant for my arrest. I notified my boss I wouldn't be available on the 28th so I could serve my one day jail sentence, but now if I show up to jail, they'll hold me until I can be arraigned, and who knows how long that would be. I would lose my job. And it's not like I can afford bail right now, anyway, nor do I think I'd be approved for a bond seeing as I'm delinquent on so many loans at the moment. So... part of me is just thinking I should be a no-show until I can get enrolled in a program. The increased difficulty is that I have to take a 15 hour greyhound bus just to get there (since I can't afford plane tickets there anymore). If I wanted to, I could just take my chances in perpetuity because it's not like they're going to chase down a guy across state lines for a misdemeanor DUI, but I really want to set things right with San Mateo county.
The system sucks!
