adventures in efiling
I'm getting the hang of it, working up my own processes of how to deal with open files and what to print off etc. I kind of wondered why the Summons prepared electronically (the document that accompanies a Petition for service and tells the defendant when to show up in court) was one page without a Return of Service page (where the sheriff notes how he served the document). Still wonder that, but on my first trip to the Sheriff's Department the lady kindly explained that I needed to staple that second page onto the first on one copy. She said I was not the first by far that she's explained this to. Stupid court (not the Sheriff's Department). I now have a stack of about 25 second pages of what used to be our Summons printed out waiting for use. *rolls eyes*
Oh, also, on the new kind of Summons there's no statement about accommodating people with disabilities which is, y'know THE LAW. But then I've long known that government entities don't follow the law. They certainly don't abide by the garnishment laws--answer due in fourteen days, we can't provide the whole SSN, they're supposed to send payments once a month, not weekly (I don't actually mind the latter).
Apparently while I was out today to go to court, there was a fire a few blocks north and one block over at a local restaurant. Did not notice a thing!
I am finally getting caught up on my huge piles. Waiting to hear back on a couple hearing dates, and need to draft a couple things, but nothing like what I've been dealing with for the last ten days. Boss is out for the rest of day and maybe all of tomorrow so I should be able to get necessary organizing done as well as, hopefully, some writing. I need to finish a big bang this weekend so I can focus next Saturday on my sermon on youth culture and dystopian futures. I did get the hymns chosen last night, and I think the musical interlude is going to be some choir members singing "Sounds of Silence".
Yesterday after work I was driving between West Campus and a small wooded area and four deer (either females or young males) ran across the street. None were hit--everyone slowed down and waited for the fourth to join the other three. Basically the middle of town, but there is a pond on West Campus and more woods.
This weekend I also need to dedecorate the house. Last weekend kind of got thrown off kilter with mom who's doing much better, but still getting tired very easily.
And I'm still way behind on tv and reading fic. *sigh*
Hopefully will curl up and do that tonight.
Yesterday's happy was the pretty deer. Today's is that it's warm enough out that I didn't zip up my coat to go to court. It's the little things...
Oh, and I just saw that Jeff Goodman (over on espn.com) who is normally not a huge fan of the Jayhawks (in fact, a comment on the article said something along the lines of has hell frozen over?) has our fieldhouse as the #1 difficult venue for visitors to win in. "...a house of horrors for Kansas' opponents" the picture on the article (of the Phog) said. *g* No fucking kidding. Not only that, but whereas other bball courts/arenas are often half empty unless a big rival is coming to play the home team, we sell out the exhibition games against Div. 3 schools that don't even count in the win/loss column.
Goodman's whole comment: It’s a no-brainer for the list, and a no-brainer for the top spot. It holds more than 16,000 people, and about 25 percent of the seats are reserved for students. It gets loud, the fans are rabid, and the Jayhawks are almost always good.

Heeeeeeeeeee
Really, if you're a fan of college basketball in general, you need to make a trip to Allen Fieldhouse to see a game. We've had only eight coaches in over 115 years and the first, and only losing coach, was the guy who invented the game. The Phog is named after the man consider the father of college basketball coaches and is sixty years old this year. Our current coach, in twelve years, has lost less home games (nine) than he's won conference titles in a row (ten and heading for eleven).
Yes, I love my alma mater's basketball team and the history and tradition etc. etc.
The less said about football the better....
