Caught a Case

Seems I've caught me a case of jury duty. It took from 8:30 this morning until 8:15 tonight for the State of Colorado to decide that I'd be ok as a juror, but it looks good that I won't have to work this week. It's a good thing I put in time both Saturday and Sunday at the office. Oh, it's not that I'm all super-dedicated or anything. Rather, I blew off a bit of work for so ridiculously long that it turned into a monstrous, steaming heap that I just had to get through. People were starting to notice. It felt great on Sunday afternoon to no longer be freaking out that my inattention might actually cause some sort of negative repercussions. A week of jury duty will seem like a vacation due in large part to the lack of ability to surf the internet. I made it three-quarters of a way through a fresh book today, and I'm tempted to stay up and read the rest of it. The book's a bit dull and dry (Fooled by Randomness: The Hidden Role of Chance in Life and in the Markets), and I am fricking exhausted, so I think I'll just have a beer and go to bed instead.
