Aw, Crap

Somebody beat me to the one Justice of The Peace opening in Somerville. In fact, 3 people got applications in before me, so I'm not even first in line. I'm just going to have to wait my turn, which could be a long wait. If I'd been on the ball and gotten the 5 signatures back in November when I got the application, I would probably have gotten it. I put it off because of the holidays, and also because who but me would be interested in doing this? Well, now we know.

There will be a JoTP appointment expiring in April, and another in July. If they aren't renewed, they will go to the people ahead of me, then eventually me but it could be a number of years. The very nice guy in the Governor's Office said my current application will still be good then, and I won't have to re-collect signatures. But patience is not one of my greatest strengths.

I'll probably nudge them come April and July. I get the feeling that the rare appointments will go to the squeaky wheels.
