I got up at 6:30 to make it downtown in time for jury duty. Grabbed breakfast, found the correct parking garage, walked over the skybridge to the court building, found the lobby. There was a security guard there greeting people. We had to tear off part of the card to prove we'd shown up, and then we were done. So that was a waste of $3 parking, and an hour 45 commuting.
Zoe: First rule of battle, little one. Don't ever let 'em know where you are. Mal: Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of me? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on! Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Zoe: Of course, there are other schools of thought...

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I feel so much better today after spending most of yesterday reading the paper and drinking tea. December really was a stressful month. I’m working at the library bookstore this afternoon. So, hopefully I can interact with some other humans and maybe even have an interesting book conversation or two.

Ugh, Dana. That’s so annoying. I hope you can enjoy the rest of your day.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Also, I managed to insert FOUR USB cables correctly on the the first try yesterday, so I'm regretful that my cousin didn't schedule her Las Vegas wedding for January instead of October.
You may have used up all your luck and need to wait until October for it to fully recharge. Because correctly inserting 4 USB cables on the first try is some kind of spooky magic.

The system here you have to call in to see if you need to show up and a good percentage of times you get told not to come, and call back the next day.

Off to the library bookstore. Wish me customers.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
Lots of polite and patient customers, sj!

Dana, that sounds like my last attempt: drove an hour to Port Orchard, found parking near the courthouse (!), signed in, and five minutes into the bailiff's instructions one of the clerks came in and told us that we were all dismissed with thanks, as the defendant had tested positive for COVID that morning and the case was continued.
