I'm "On Call" for four days spread across January. I am really hoping I don't have to go! I get to call a number the night before each one, and maybe my name/number will never come up. Hope! a;sdlkrarluiai

We have complained to the building management a bazillion times and nothing has happened. One of my bosses' office is at sixty-seven degrees. That is just beyond.

Um.

I keep my apartment at 63-64 during the day.

(I pretty much have to, given the building I live in. One, it'd be pointless to try to keep it warmer, and two, I can't afford to. Still, after a winter and a half of this I think I'd be roasting in a 67-degree office.)

I think for places of business though, the absolute lowest it can be legally is 65.

I'm not for it being like, 82.3 degrees all the time or anything, but I feel like there's a big difference between wearing flannels and slippers and three sweaters at home and trying to get work done in a semi-public space in the same.

Also, at home you are saving money. My office doesn't just not have heat on, it is actively blowing cold air through the vents. I just don't get that.

If I could I would come and do your jury duty for you :(

what is a surefire thing i can say to get me out of it

like i am thisclose to digging out my old hair dye and wearing my big piercings and making sure all my tattoos show

The easiest way to get out of jury duty is: "I am a lawyer/law student." Then they never let you on the jury. Which is why I should come pretend to be you for four days. :D

gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawddammit

I also thought about going with "I am a criminal," but they probably check that. :/

HOLY SHIT THAT WAS FAST ;alskdw,ejry ♥ ♥ ♥

The problem is, of course, that i need something that can get me out before I actually have to go to the courthouse. Because honestly, once I'm there I don't really give a crap if I'm on a jury. Because I've already taken the time out of my life to go there in the first place.

Clearly I need to commit some crime.

I've always wanted to have jury duty. Is that fucked up? I mean, I don't long for boring days sitting in a room waiting for something to happen, but I kind of want to be on an actual jury.
