Driver license was suspended

Here is the story how I feel disheartened.
I got a run-through-red-light ticket in Oct. 2009.
I paid the flat fee to Tatum & Atkinson law firm to help me solve the case.
Then I got a formal letter from them, saying that my case was resolved using the term "improper equipment".

However, I got an official letter from Department of Transportation in NC, saying that they are going to suspend my driver license because I didn't appear at the court.

I know something wrong about ticket.

So I called the firm several times, faxed the documents, eventually one operator told me that they will take care about this and they found the citation number of my ticket is different from the one in their database.
Now I feel alright since they promised they will take care, even if I feel why they could be so indifferent from their mess-up.

However, (yes, another however)  I went to DMV in Carrboro to renew my driver license on Nov. 22 and they told me "MY DRIVER LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED".
I was furious at that moment.
I can't believe how the firm can be so irresponsible.
I guess the reward of resolving a traffic ticket means small to them, but "suspension" means a lot to me.
This is how corporation works and how people treat their responsibility.

I feel I am very when lame dealing with these people.
I cried for my weakness (crying can either be considered as another kind of weakness or just a relief) and the indifference of people.

Emotional

I can cry when I find out I have done everything right but things still go wrong.
One of reasons I cry is I don't understand how people can be so indifferent to her responsibility.

I can also cry when I find out someone is so responsible for her job.
Thank you Grace.

I guess many people don't believe I am a emotional person. but I am and I am so tired about the stimulation everywhere in my life. Some people enjoy challenging life. I guess for me, I just want to have a smooth life.

Hypocritical and sophisticated

Family and friends

The best thing I have learned after I study aboard is having friends is so nice (no kidding...) and family is my best support.

a potato dish

1. Put the potato in boiling water and take it out after you think it's done. (better not too soft)
2. Put the sausages into toaster oven. 
we have Bratwurst German sausages (amazingly good), Italian sausages, and Taiwanese sausages from California.
3. Pour the oily juice from sausages on the potato + salt and pepper + green onions + sausages bits 

Delicious!
