strongly exceeds, shrift? Dang, that's awesome!!
management knew that one of their workers was using his master key to go into apartments where single women lived and rape them. He tried my apartment, but I had the chain on, so he never got in. And I didn't know about it, because building management didn't warn any of the tenants. And, yes, the case ended up setting a precedent for what management companies owe their tenants.
Holy CRAP Toddson, that's hella scary and infuriating!!
I served on a jury once in DC, for a couple weeks, and it ended up a hung jury, there were two defendants and we went 11-1 guilty for the one, and 9-3 not guilty for the other. Very weird elaborate story.
I hesitate to say I'm surprised I've only been called once in Seattle, because I figure that means I'll be called tomorrow and end up on a case that's just long enough to make work impossible--a couple days I could handle, but a couple weeks would be a wreck.
I only was called to Jury duty once and I am pretty sure I was rejected based in my eagerness and my consumption of CSI.
I think I need your affirmation. I sort of kind of agreed to do costumes for a show this summer which I totally can do, but there is also a community vegetable garden which I want to to do and I just think I’d so much more important than theatre and I can really contribute too. Can I back out without being a duck?
Sophia, I give you permission to back out.
Woot! Yay for being fully vaxed.
I'm surprised I haven't been called more. Like 3 times in the nearly 50 years I could be. Yes, tempting fate there.
Yes, you can back out. You don't want to regret it all summer.
It’s ok to back out, Sophia
ETA I feel like I should rewrite that in LOLCat but I don’t know how!
Why did it say duck! I didn’t even try to say fuck! But I thank you for your permission.
Heh, and I thought there was some new meaning of duck I didn’t know...
Just ran outside in my robe and bare feet because there was blood curdling screaming happening. I was sure it was a person being attacked. It actually was our neighbor's tiny elderly dog being attacked by a loose dog. The neighbor was screaming at the attacking dog. Other neighbors got the loose dog restrained and the little dog's owner got it to safety. It had been bit but was alert and not crying in pain. Another neighbor who's a vet tech was checking him out before his people took him to the emergency vet. Hope he's OK. Poor little buddy.
I'm all pumped up on adrenaline and just finished the book I was reading and am tired but too agitated to fall asleep now.
