Lounge of Tomorrow

Pulled jury duty today. Since I don't have to report until 8:30 am, I go to the jail first and do my morning stuff, then jump in the car and whiz on over to the Civic Center Courthouse in the nick of time. Except there was a bomb scare which closed down the courthouse and City Hall, so I stood out on the street for a couple of hours and watched the firetrucks and helicopters. Finally, after some hours of tedium, I was selected to be part of a jury pool. The bad news: it's probably a 5-week case. The good news: I am so biased that I think that once they read my 10-page(!) questionnaire, they'll let me go. But I have to come back on Thursday.

Yay civic duty.

Am I the only one who sees TDR and thinks Tokyo Disneyrand?

You know what's the best thing ever? Having a boss who has a massive attitude problem, who treats his employees lower than scum and having no one above him do anything about it.

And they wonder why there is a mass exodus from the company.

In front of my family. :) :snap:

Okay, my way too dramatic dorky heartache & all kidding aside, that is just the worst!! :( Hang in there, girly (especially when the "slurping" starts up :p) and remember- nothing heals like massive amounts of Ally hugs! Theyr'e like Allyesque band-aids. ;)

That would have been great. I had so many fantasies about what I'd write, but I kept remembering the oath I just took, so I stuck to the dirty truth...

I was supposed to do jury duty today but when I called in, I found out I was supposed to call in earlier to register on their hideous voice activated registration system. So come June 19th, I'll be in court where most likely I will be thanked and excused. I have yet to sit on a jury, though I've been through many a panel.

I was worried about clicking the link. I wasn't sure if I was gonna see a roller coaster, or some guy rubbing one out.

So, my classmates voted overwhelmingly to not have a break during class. Not to skip the break and get out early, but to sit through the entire 100 minute class sans break.

What a bunch of brown-nosing suck-ups.
