Things have been really crazy with work for a change. But today was good, if for nothing else, I got Bob Evans cinnamon pancakes for lunch with our remaining gift card.

This week I have been working at home for the past two days because we don’t have internet yet and I have a major deadline. I have been working with Aubrey, who is a contact that Glenn has, on developing this one site and we have been going back and forth about design stuff, and I have been training her in web design and Fireworks. She picks up fast, and is a great designer, and it is just really great to have someone to talk with that understands designer speak and jargon.

I have also been working from home this week because on Tuesday I had to go in for a Jury Duty pool. I was nervous for whatever reason about going, but found the building downtown without too much problem, and Christine had given me heads up to take plenty of reading material. I wasn’t selected until an hour in, in the second round of selections from the 25% of the people that were left. Then out of the 25 in our pool, I was number 15 to actually sit on the Jury and be interviewed by the lawyers. About 5-10 people were excused, but I was not one of them. The case was actually interesting to me and I wanted to do my best job and help see justice done if that was my duty. I knew the trial would last no more than two days, so that wasn’t a big deal.

But as some of the members were excused, and then the panel rearranged, I was far enough back, being the last original chosen, that once they had filled their seven person jury, I was excused from this round of the Jury Pool. So maybe next time.

I did watch one other movie on Monday night, and movie I borrowed from my co-worker Chris on Sunday when I went out to change my breaks. Hopefully I will write about that tomorrow. The movie, Collateral Damage, with the governor of California. Not bad.
