stuff from all over

My final thoughts on finishing jury service as we were into the 4th week: DJKaldjflieas;jdlj2!jkldsjkl;as@!f

Totally covers it.

And as a semi-coherent subset of DJKaldjflieas;jdlj2!jkldsjkl;as@!f: I absolutely loved getting sortofjoking crap about how I was usually amongst the last to arrive from one of my fellow jurors when I was clearly dragging myself in by the hair most mornings having stayed up until 3 AM working on my other work. It's all STFU salaried dude. Jeez.

Amongst the things the cat hath broken/otherwise ruined in the merrie month of April:

  • one lovely vintage milk glass pepper shaker
  • one digital camera
  • one small incense cone burner
  • one flokati rug
  • one iPod

While I think I was most upset about the pepper shaker, I naturally really miss the iPod because I hate/love walking. It's not something I care to do without a particular goal, but I do enjoy taking long ass hikes around the city with my music along for the ride and I don't mind forgoing transit in favor of the hour-long walk when the weather is nice. On public transit I actually concentrate better with music playing and when I was waiting in the jury room waiting to be called on that first day, the only way I got a nap in was with the music on because otherwise it's CNN and that's somehow more distracting (fun tip: according to the news media, we're all DOOOOOMED). Of course, hands down, the best function of the iPod was as a key component of my Street Harassment Deterrent pack (the other element being big, dark glasses). I'd actually gotten to the point where I kinda thought maybe dudes were leaving me alone just 'cause.

And then the iPod went kaput. I thought that one dude today was trying out his freaking bird calls. Sigh.

aaaaraaghhhhhhh!, cat, technology, civic involvement
