a funny thing happened on the way to the jury box

Monday, October 1st, 2007

so…actual conversation:
Clerk: ma’am, please hold your coffee. I don’t want you to spill it on my papers.
Lady #123: Oh, sorry. Does that happen often?
Clerk: It happened six weeks ago. The woman is still here.
ahhh…jury humor.

so…I’m sitting in a room with 125-plus people. The way the tables are set up I would think that we were getting ready to play bingo, but the “JURY POOL” stencil on the back of each chair is informing me otherwise.
I, unfortunately, didn’t have the time to radically change my appearance — add a few […]

so…

having the Intern wear a tie everyday for the last week has worn me down, and I’m wearing a tie today!
We’ve got a meeting out at one of the district offices today, so it should be interesting to see the reactions…

so…last night, after Sammy’s bath, he leaned over to me and said:
“Dad, not just knee deep, she was totally deep, when she did the freak with me.”
Clear as day!
What can I say? He loves the P-Funk!
ok…well, maybe not that clear. More like: “dadadad, mamamamama, musmusmusmus, pabpabpabpabpab, nee nee nee neeq, tah tah tah, ty ty […]

so…it’s been almost two years since I’ve worked in a building where I’ve needed a key to get into the Men’s room, yet I still reach for my keys almost every single time.

so…Ant Invasion 2007 has commenced in our kitchen, and I’ll go on the record as saying I support a reduction in troops immediately!
Fucking ants!
I thought we were going to luck out this year, because the invasion usually occurs in the spring, but nooooooo, we’ve got to be in some bizarre El NiƱo con mi primo […]

so…I got to bed an hour earlier last night, and I overslept by an hour this morning. For all the extra sleep, I feel like crap!
I’ve been fight a sinus headache for about a week, and I think without the normal fog that I’m in during the early morning hours the headache is taking every […]

Friday, September 7th, 2007

so…when you were in, oh, maybe, kindergarten, or first grade, were you taught to always walk on the right when on the stairs or in a hallway?
well, nobody that I work with was EVER taught that!
AND they like to walk side-by-side down the hallway that only has room for two people…and look at you […]

Friday, August 31st, 2007

so…yesterday turned out to be the longest work day I’ve had in 6-7 years: 6am - 9 pm.
True, there was a quarterly business meeting last night that might have involved some drinks, but seriously, how relaxing is a drink if you’re talking about work?

Yesterday, being Thursday, the local Classic Rock station was pulling off a […]

Today is going to be a long day…
