to quit being a slug.
I have had the last week off work – tomorrow I go back and see what is waiting for me. I’ll have a couple of quiet days to catch up as my boss will be away for a meeting until Wednesday. Of course, she may have filled my box while I was gone.
I had said I would likely use the week off to catch up on house cleaning and laundry and such. Nope – I was a slug – caught up on some daytime napping, I did, I did. Well, I did vacuum and straighten the living room. And, I did a couple of loads of laundry – was pretty well caught up on that anyway.
Today, however, I am working on a couple more loads of laundry. Hubby’s jeans for one load.
It looks like he will be headed off to jury duty on Tuesday – big murder trial. He filled out a questionnairre in October, and then went to the courthouse last week to be questioned. They sent him home with the admonition that they would meet as a group likely on Tuesday. Should be for more questioning though. He hasn’t been outright excused, nor has he been seated for the jury.
A co-worker was excused outright – because of where we work, you see. One of the “perks” to the job. No, not really. It does, however, seem to get us off certain types of cases.
It’ll be a bit of a bummer, though, if he is chosen to sit on the jury. The trial is expected to last a couple of weeks. He just started a job at a school. They go on Christmas break in two weeks – for two weeks. That means he will get little pay for December. Oh, the court will pay him a piddling amount, but it won’t come for about 6 weeks after he has served. $25 a day does NOT pay the bills.
But, it’s our duty and privilege to serve, right? Yeah, right. I thought so, too.
Anyway – I am back out to my chair to snooze through the rest of the football game. You all have a great week, now you, hear?
