Odd figures

I had a day at work where I came across odd figures, you know like the ones that end in decimals of .56/.32 and so on. Maybe they dont seem odd to you , but whatever.

So I am done with a day like that, back in my car with the radio playing some great numbers like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2tMV96xULk and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkFgam5jJGo&feature=related; so I am singing along with them and then BAM! I notice those odd numbers on the signs...."Carpool violation Minimum $481"; "Red Light violation Minimum $363"; I mean how does DMV come up with such numbers as minimum! They must be doing a whole lot of pro rating or something...! I mean I come from Dubai, where we got round figures like 100/200/500/1,000 AED fines!

Is it just California ??

High expectations, really??

i want to know what is the limit to expect or do we expect nothing at all?! Suddenly, I am wondering if I am so selfish to have asked for the basic things. Today was horribly dull for me, a day i wish hadn't even dawned! Nothing sounded right...There was absolutely no mood to even eat.. Sometimes i wish there was a routine, something to do every single day. Though i have kept myself busy with 2-3 things for a week, sometimes not having anything to do in the morning and waking up just to wonder "what now?" is something i am unable to handle.. i have been told time and again to enjoy this time period but what about it to enjoy? Today I couldn't even bring myself to watch some TV. Just too mad about situation n absolutely despise the helplessness of it. Arrrrghhhhhh! How out of sync can i get!
