Much job~ma Calli. Sounds like some good opportunities.

I AM DONE! DONE WITH JURY DUTY FOR AT LEAST TWO YEARS! WHOOOOOOOT!

I am writing up the story on LJ right now, but I'll probably post it here. It's...a little odd.

I'm glad that Julia just had a "belly ache."

meara, my mother was once on a jury for NINE MONTHS. She was sequestured for two+ weeks, and my father called me at college to ask how to work the washer/dryer.

YAY for meara being done!!!!!!!!! Can't wait to read the tale.

IunrelatedN, (whitefonted for the bug squeemish...like Jilli) I feel like I have little bugs crawling all over me. I'm pretty sure it's psychological, what with the stress and bugs I've been dealing with lately, but it's gross and creepy. I want it to stop.

Oooh, enforcement power. Makes job good!

Had interview yesterday. Went pretty well, I think. But now I must write the dreaded Thank-You letters, times four. Yuck. I hate thank-you letters even more than cover letters, I always want to say something rude like, I adored the opportunity to discuss being your minion and servicing you with a smile.

I have a teeny baby kitty asleep on the wireless router by the 'puter. She needs to rest up after her frentic jumping-bean performance earlier. Star Wars nerds may appreciate how funny we think it is when we point at her and say, "You-teenie!"

All five volumes of the full color english translation of the manga for Spirited Away. $10.

Soooooo jealous.

NINE MONTHS? Oh HELL to the NO. Of course, this one was only supposed to last "four to five days", but I've been on jury duty since last Monday.

I think they told my mother the case would be six weeks. It was a big child abuse/daycare center case, so it had the added trauma of testimony from little children about Bad Things Done to Them.

When I went for my Fitness & Character interview for the NY Board of Bar Examiners many years later, my interviewer turned out to be one of the lawyers for the defendants.

Morning. The minute I realized I was awake today, I also realized I had a splitting headache and lots of pain. Can I just skip today? Dave has a job interview this evening and this is the first day this week I haven't had anything that requires me leaving the house. ION, financial aid forms suck. IObetterN, I got a ton of unpacking done this week. I may actually be all unpacked in this apartment, before we decide to move again.
