This morning the power went out, sometime before the alarm clock was set to wake me up for an important day in court, before a mediator for the Friend of the Court. Well, I got a late start and hurried out the door, and then took a slow route to get to the I-696 freeway as all the on ramps are closed for miles heading west. This seems to happen ever year in Michigan, this year the reason is bridge repair, more than likely they really need to fix the crumbling things.
So, I'm driving and about 10 minutes or so away from there, and I take a right down the road and drive for a bit, after about 5 minutes or so, I realize I'm on Orchard lake road, and not on Elizabeth lake road. Dam, so I turn left, and go down Cass lake road, drive around the lake, and think man this is out of my way. I take a quick right, and start going in the right direction....NOT! So, I try to call the court, and I am on hold for like 10 minutes, so I hang up. Finally, I'm now 15 minutes late and I pull over for directions. She says, "Go three miles the other way, and take some crazy street name for one mile". After that I'm on Telegraph and heading in the right direction, Not! I turn around and then pass right by the road, can't find it. FFS, I am lost in area that I have been to over 30 times. Turn around go about 3 miles and there's my turn off. Finally Elizabeth Lake road, and between the turns I try to call the Court again, and of course get hold again. I hang up as I pull in to the parking lot! Go inside and wait to speak to the court assistant. She tells me, "no big deal, you have to be here next week at 1:30pm, same day of the week." I just hope next week is not the power outage, and misdirected day that today was! I just hope!
