Jury Duty!
Back in June, I postponed Jury Duty that was supposed to happen during launch week of a project to ... sometime in the future. Today.
My first thought was that isn't the best time, as a lot of changes are happening with my job. Another project is near completion, my title will be changing, there were some important meetings and planning that I should be a part of... but then I realized: I don't know that there's ever a good time. For the last half-year at least, I've felt like it was 'finals time' or 'crunch time' pretty much constantly. Each month, around week 2, I think, "Whew, this month is *crazy*, but this is about to end, and next month will be really nice!" Then by the beginning of week 4, something has come up that means that the next month would be just as busy. There's never a good time.
Stepping back and taking that approach, I guess this is as good a time as any. And I'm certainly not suffering-- I'm sitting with my feet up by a wall of windows, looking out on downtown Brooklyn, typing on LJ with a good internet connection. It could be a lot worse.
