So I work for a pretty big law firm that is working on a very big corporate case. We had a hearing today at 11am and had to have so many freakin exhibits it was crazy. I must have been copying for 7 hours straight including the end of yesterday. Anyway, we were constantly making changes as we were copying, etc etc so it was needless to say very hectic. At 10:55am we finally finished copying, all the attorneys were at the courthouse waiting for us so once again my Q45 is called to duty.
We load the car up w/ the boxes of papers and scream out of the parking lot. I'm doing about 65 mph in a 30 downtown, taking all my shortcuts, feeling like a bad@$$ as the woman in the passenger seat is like 'faster'.
Next thing I know I'm 1/8 mile away from the courthouse when a police officer pulls behind me w/ lights flashing. (guess he didn't like me rolling through that stop sign).So me being the intelligent person I am, didn't stop but continued on to the courthouse, made it there, got out of the car and the cop yelled, "freeze". I stopped and said, "look, ticket me with whatever you want, I'm going to give these to my boss and I'll be right out". I think he was too confused to do anything. So the woman and I ran in, gave the attorneys their files just as their case was called. Whew!
I got back out and the officer was waiting for me. He goes, "Do you know why I pulled you over?" I said, "Yes, I didn't stop at the stop sign but my boss needed some files for a very important hearing that's taking place right now. I'm very sorry." He said, "Who's your boss?" So I told him and he said, "Oh...well be careful next time. See ya" So we got back in the car and smoothly cruised back the office.
Crazy huh?
