Labor Week


The past week was an odd week. Starting with an off day Labor Day Monday was nice, but Tuesday and Wednesday threw me into Jury Duty hell....there is a two day minumum, of which I fell into the pool for the first case of the day...the biggest one most likely. I could not get excused despite my desperate pleas (short of lying, which I could just not do...am glad that part of me still works) and with the prospect of being sequetestered for at least five weeks, morale started to really dip...until on the last couple of hours on day 2 when the lawyers finally did not see me as their type of juror...and suddenly everything again in the world was bright :). Thursday was the company meeting at Safeco field and like past years its a lot of presentations and energizers, but what's brewing up at reasearch is what I always look forward to...in the past Bill used to do the honors, but the folks from research are equally as enthusiastic and fun to watch. Friday was a "Day of Caring" and I was with my co-workers at an assisted living factility clearing up landscape. The week is over. zzzz.
