Oh, joy... I'll be in the jury pool here from July - November. That's how it works in MO... you get notified that you'll be in the pool for a certain time and then, if they pick you, you'll get another notice that you have to serve. THEN you have to call the night before to see if they're actually going to have court or if it was cancelled. I've been in the pool a lot in the past 12 years, and I've been picked several times, but it's always been cancelled the night before. Whew. Especially the last time because I went to Michigan while I was still in the pool and it would've sucked if I'd been called up while I was away.
FB is still screwing me hard on the marketing thing. Turds.
I saw something this morning about how like 54% of Americans can't read above a 6th grade level. And like 1 in 5 is functionally illiterate. And how like 1 in 3 is like math-illiterate. Which all sucks. On a happier note, I saw how 2nd Lady Vance has a reading initiative this summer that kids can sign up for and win prizes and maybe win a trip to the White House. I don't care what your politics are... that's a good thing and everyone should be all for it. Anything that gets people reading more is awesome.
And if you're actively against Mrs. Vance's summer reading program, what the hell is wrong with you? Illiteracy is everyone's problem.
Lumpy's baby is super cute! A couple days ago, it walked right under the window where we were watching. So tiny! Awwww.
I'm really feeling that last walk. I did the loop, which is only 1.1 miles, but it's very hilly and my calves are mooing this morning.
Last night was not a good night for sleeping. I was too hot and then the cats decided it would be an awesome night to run around the house playing with their jingly ball and then they found something interesting in the corner of the bedroom that HAD TO BE investigated right then. They were being good boys, but their goodness was certainly noisy and I was not in the frame of mind to ignore them. Oh well. Naptime later and for now, lots of coffee!
Right now, though, I think I'm going to go finish my book. Maybe snag some breffest. Have a great day and feel free to leave whatever this or that your mind spits out.
Ugh. We get picked one pool at a time, usually lasts a week. Gotta show up the first day and be bored, then usually dismissed. I'm one of the few who'd actually LIKE to sit on a jury. LOL
ReplyDeleteI don't really recognize FB any more. Thanks to freaking TikerTok,er it and Instagram have all put the emphasis on "reels." If I did that $h!t, I'd be on TikerToker. And while I enjoy X. it's no longer reliable for marketing either. Everybody wants us to pay up real $$ to adverstise. It sucks.
OMG. Are people actually against the reading challenge for kids? Seriously?!? What is wrong with those f*ckers!?!!
Babies! FTW! Also, cats. Hope breffest was tasty.
Mother Nature decided to get drunk and stir up the storm dragons. At 4 a.m. By 7, the storm had rolled on through though the eastern part of the state is getting hit. It might last to hit y'all. Be aware. I too shall be needing a nap.
Texas Tech won, Thunder lost. Ah well.
I have two books going and neither is totally grabbing my attention. This sucks. I may give up and try something else.
Not much else going on. I just realized the rain washed way all the crow food. I need to go do that. Later, tater!
