jury duty

so, the jury's still out on whether or not the girl's going in to work today (honestly, no pun intended!) They'll give something to my employer that says I showed up, but not at what time they sent me away. Boring, FYI, I didn't even get questioned, just sat rereading The Basic Eight.

The video they showed us was utterly ridiculous: "What Is A Trial? You may be familiar with trials from television and movies..." The old woman who narrated the first section has a voice that kept me ever so much on the verge of cracking up laughing; i honestly couldn't tell if it was a horrific Boston accent, or a British one. Plus she had a major lisp. Plus, a Princess Bride preacher whatever the hell you call that speech impediment: "jooey doody," "juwohs," "wepwezhentive," "cauwtwoom," "wesponsobility," and, my personal favorite, "appweziazun."

I decided to grab a small frozen yogurt on my way back from lunch; the $2 "small" turned out to be over a pint. Or, it might have to do with the fact that in the time it took me to order, I saved the owner's two?-year old from three different potentially gory accidents. Either way, three-fourths of it ended up in the trash.

Do I want to go to work today? They desperately need me; I've got a HUGE project that isn't to be flaked on...
