Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

I've also had an ENT use a hook to get particularly stubborn wax out.

I'm a freak - I find that one a fun experience. Seriously.

ETA:

I've been pondering checking out a new (to me) PT, so maybe this will be my motivator. I'm going to see how I feel tomorrow morning.

That sounds sensible. I hope it improves.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Earhooks.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Earhooks.

Yep. You bait them with earworms.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

To catch earfish?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I wonder if the Babelfish would take care of earwax for you while it's translating.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I finally got an informational jury duty notice thing, but despite their neat and clean web interface where I can check such things, I have yet to actually be scheduled. I've never served. For a while it was that thing where I was disenfranchised and didn't vote, but then I guess I just moved enough to miss it.

Our wings are not tired.

(Not an assumption - after we finally came to agreement and notified the judge, he started bragging about how he really agreed with the rest of us all along but wanted to drag things out as long as possible. This experience may have soured me somewhat on juries.)

Oh. my. dog. I would have cut a bithc!

Seriously, I think the only thing that prevented us all from tossing him out the 5th story window was the thought of having to possibly sit through another assault trial if we got caught.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I know some people who bitch about jury duty even when their company covers it (thus not losing out on money, and not having to work double-shifts). I do not understand it.

My company covers it, but that doesn't mean I'm not still responsible for most of my regular workload while it's going on. I mean, I'm kind of civic pride geeky about these things so I wouldn't object, but it's not going to come without some pain.

Kathy, they have free parking for jurors at the main courthouse west of downtown. Maybe not at the Daley Center one?

Well, don't we suffer the same overload when we come back from any time out of office (maternity leave, vacation, family illness)? Jury duty isn't without its hitches or complications. But to me, it's worth it. I think it's a fair sacrifice for living somewhere with a judicial system, that for all of its faults, is still our judicial system.
