rainy tuesday

is it weird that i am kind of sad that i don't have to go to jury duty tomorrow?

i'm feeling kind of conflicted tonight, although i really don't know what about, so i'd just say in general. if i were at my office playing with my flipbook of faces/emotions i'd turn it to 'conflicted'.
oh, actually i keep one of those at home too. so i'll go do that. oh they don't have it as an option! my 'c' options are cantankerous, chill, chipper, contemplative, copacetic, cranky, and crazed. they don't have ambivalent either. this is not a broad enough faces/emotions flipbook.

anyway. jury duty. i am supposed to have thursday and friday off this week for matt's med school graduation and some wedding events for jeff and mimi (who's actual wedding is on saturday!!!). then i get a jury summons for tomorrow- with potential to go through friday. put a huge question mark on my plans. annoying. and yet, i was hoping to get called for tomorrow, because then i'd get to miss work, and hopefully be dismissed for thurs/fri to i could be free to go ahead with my plans. instead, only jurors # 04-0001-0078 have to go in for jury duty tomorrow. the rest of us have to call back tomorrow after 5 to see if we need to show up on thursday. (i am juror 04-0189 or something like that)
great. work. hurray. and now i may still have to miss matt's graduation, or mimi's bridal luncheon. annoying.
honestly, i could have used a day off to just sit and read. and i've never actually been to jury duty before, (and it's federal jury duty!) so i figure it could be an interesting experience. but not interesting enough for me to miss my scheduled days off.... boo.

and its raining. which makes me want to put on sweats and not do anything. and i really want a starbucks peppermint mocha. which has too many calories for me to justify. but i might get one anyway. i'm heading over to jeff and mimi's for lost tonight- so that should perk things up a bit.

the word i'm going with in the flip book is 'spent'. i'm going to put on a sweatshirt...
