Jury Duty
I've been called to jury duty on Monday. I have an afternoon date of 1:30. Why couldn't they give me a morning time instead? My evil company does pay me for jury duty, so I'm actually interested in seeing how it goes. Since the meeting time is 1:30 pm, I can still go in to work in the morning and finish up some things I wanted to get done on Friday. Now don't let the preceding statement fool you into thinking I like my job. No, I do not like it, but I do feel the need to perform it more than adequately. As I've said, I try to do my job very well in order that I not have to do it forever.
I dreamed that I fell in love at jury duty, but I know that will not happen. I'll arrive at the courthouse in my typically early fashion and wait for 1:30 to come. Then I'll wait and wait and wait for things to get started. People will trickle in for the next half hour, and, this being California, the thing probably won't really get started until 2:30. That's how I expect it to go, anyway.
Last night they say it snowed. I was indoors, wrapped in blankets, and had the tiny space heater running. It rained and hailed, which I heard, and then, they say, it snowed. I didn't hear the snow fall. If I had, it probably would have sounded like my birds shrieking.
My friend Carol was out sick from work most of the week, which means it was a very long week for me. I heard the following words and phrases spoken too many times last week, and I hope I won't have to hear them for a while:

- hella
- random, esp. as used in the phrase "totally random"
- hot, as in "that's hot" to refer to anything that isn't literally hot
- procrastinate
- Happy Friday!
