(Untitled)
I received a jury summons in the mail today. *sighs* I'm scheduled to appear on the 22nd of September. I believe I will be chosen. This is the sort of thing that happens to me. *stares into space, a little gloomily, but not very* At least I have served on a jury once before, so I have learned some things that should help me this time around.

Food
Eating takes a lot of time. I know this because I am working on a schedule, trying to organize my time and find out why I don't have more of it, and I'm realizing that a lot of it is spent eating, or on eating related activities. Sometimes this is frustrating, because although I enjoy cooking (and eating!) it consumes time without seeming to ( Read more... )
