I went to drop off my restraining order paperwork this morning. I had filled it out online and printed it because it's a lot easier than doing it by hand. So I get there and have to wait like 10 minutes before anyone comes out to get me. There's no one else there. Then she tells me that the version of the paperwork, which I got from my state's judicial department website, is not correct. It has the exact same information on it in the exact same order. I think there was some difference in verbiage and that's it. So I had to fill out the form by hand and a lot of it is the same information (name, address, phone #) in multiple places. This made me irrationally angry and I'm afraid I wasn't polite to this poor lady. I find this process stressful. It's a reminder of everything that happened. I want to cry. I have to go back in 3 hours to see the judge.
