Daily gratitude

Some days seem worse than others, but when I look around, it really isn't so bad.

1. I can afford to pay for my mistakes --traffic and parking tickets--without fear of going to jail.

2. I can go to work without fear of death while I'm there doing my job.

3. I am reasonably healthy. I woke up today.

These privileges are not afforded to everyone. So I go out happy I am who I am; imperfect as it is. I'll take it!

Enjoy your Wednesday.

The joys of jury duty

Jury duty can be a blessing, or a curse.

Some of the perks/hazards/interesting things: 
 
1. It gets you out of the office. Plenty of interesting folks hang around courthouses. And even more pay traffic (or parking) tickets.

2. You could get sequestered.

2. You know it will get interesting if the folks can't follow directions at the metal detectors.

3. It's also sad seeing the little old people there (many because they need a conservator.)

4. At lunch time, you can eat, shop and roam around. (Lunches for court staff under an hour are rare in our neck of the woods).

5.  Finally, you realize that your job's not so bad after all, your family's not totally silly and the food at the Hotel cafeteria really is pretty good.

And soon enough, it will be time to go home again, back to reality.

That is all...stay tuned.
