I am resourceful
Pretty strained right now trying to wrap up this insanely detailed character and fitness questionnaire by the end of today (not to mention two exams and a paper coming up).Yeah, and I thought listing all of my places of residence would be difficult.
I also have to disclose any traffic violations. Considering I had to get official driving records from every state I ever held a license, you would think that the traffic violation part wouldn't be hard. Um, except that my first ever speeding ticket was a long time ago and is no longer listed on any record. I was advised that even if it is not listed, I need to disclose as much information as I can about the incident including: location, date, etc.
Here is a testament to how my resourceful little brain works step-by-step:
I got the ticket driving down the boulevard in my neighborhood when I was a youngin'...
I recall having an argument with the policeman because he kept accusing me of speeding to deliver pizza on time...
I explained to the policeman that while I was in a pizza restaurant uniform with a box of pizza beside me, I merely worked there and was not delivering...
Hmm, okay, when did I work at the pizza place?...
I know it was sometime during high school because I was dating high school boyfriend at the time...
HS boyfriend used to show up and bother me at work...
Oh yeah, there was that one time he showed up and made me cry and my cute co-worker named Philip made him leave...
Yeah, I remember Philip. He was the first (and thankfully only) person I ever knew to commit suicide...
I wrote a poem about Philip when he killed himself...
I used to write dates on all of my poems...

And that, my friends, is how I figured out the approximate date of my first "traffic violation" for disclosure on my Bar application.
