The last time I was called for jury duty an off-duty cop waiting to testify noticed me tucked into the cloakroom so I could read, away from the nattering nabobs. He gave me the cop look, the "what nefarious things are you up to?" look. I gave him a lifted eyebrow and a mental "Go 'way, boy, you bother me." He grinned and moseyed on. I was never called. I think the cloakroom walls cloaked my presence.
Amy, your boss is in a cartoon in my head, one of those where I pop her with a bell-muzzled gun and she explodes in a shower of confetti.
Shrift, ugh.
'Suela, how exciting!
You people are distracting. How did my coffee get cold so quick?
I'm googling admirable historical figures.
Good lord, I must admire some historical figure, why can't I think of any?
Ada Lovelace and whoever invented pay-at-the-pump gas pumps.
It's on the questionnaire, I can't imagine why. Good lord, I must admire some historical figure, why can't I think of any? I can only think of terrible people.
Why not both? Olga of Kiev
Ok, going with Al Kwarizmi father of algebra and Eratosthenes, who measured of the circumference of the earth.
Based on the questionnaire (other than that question) I think I would make an excellent juror for this case and am unlikely to be selected. We shall see.
How about Abigail Adams?
I am waiting for our new couch and loveseat to arrive. We went with a black leather set that was DEEPLY on sale--boring, but should stand up to our animals.
Oh, she's a very bad role model for me in so many ways, Matt!
Ada Lovelace is good, thanks! ETA Abigail Adams also good but I really only know her from 1776 and HBO
Questionnaire completed! I'm in the pink group.
It finally came to me, who I was trying to think of when I said anarchists! Sacco and Vanzetti!!
Not that you should put them down.
