More Jury Notes

Today the Plaintiff was wearing a light olive suit, yellow shirt, and a navy and kelly green striped tie.

If I were allowed to talk to him, I'd ask if he was color blind.

His lawyer wasn't much better in her yucky drab gray shapeless skirt suit and equally drab gray plaid shirt. Although her co-council was in a quite sexy black suit. I could see all the way up her skirt when she sat down.

Jury Doody

I had jury duty last Wednesday and got picked to be on the jury for a civil case. A guy is suing the University of Chicago for... well I'm not really sure what. Specifically he is suing his professor and mentor in his Phd program. Like I said, I'm not really sure what he is suing for exactly. I'm not supposed to talk about it anyway, but in a week when it is over, I plan on talking all about it. Yeah that's right. The case started this past Thursday, and is slotted to end next Friday. Boo-rific.

The lawyer for the prosecution looks like Jack Nicholson's 'Joker' with no makeup on. Which would be awesome except it is a woman. So instead it is just really freaking freaky.

And despite my refusal to poop in public places I had to go at the courthouse the other day. Which I was so grossed out about until my friend John pointed out that I took a Jury-Doody. HA!

More Doctory Goodness

Had another appointment with Dr. J this morning. This are going good. The pain is more manageable. Of course I haven't been doing anything to aggravate it. I haven't worked out in a couple months so I gained a few pounds and feel gross. But I've been vigilant about the horrific diet, and I guess that combined with the mass amount of drugs they've got me on is starting to work. He placed me on an additional med today. It will also make me tired. Which is a joke because I'm already on two others that do that. I'm a walking zombie. I really don't know what I'm supposed to do. They drug me up, and take away my caffeine, and expect me to function like a normal human being. Asses.

Dr. J also told me I can't get pregnant for at least 4-6 months. While I'm on the blood thinner it can be dangerous I guess. But he's not sure how long I'll need to be on it. Which is sad for me. I really wanted to have my first baby before I was 30, but it might not work out that way now.

All in all I'm kinda bummed today. I really shouldn't be. I'm in so much less pain now than I was even five weeks ago. And while I'm thrilled about that, I'm really just too tired to feel anything more than exhaustion. I'm kinda terrified to go on another drug that will make me even more tired.

Wedding Aftermath

Nicole's wedding was last Sunday, and I'm somehow still exhausted from it. Thank god everything went off without a hitch. Or too bad of a hitch... Nick forgot the CD with the walk down music, so at the very last second we improvised. The Reverend John played his guitar. Which I must say, I thought was much better than "canned music" anyhow. But yeah, everything was beautiful. Nicole was radiant. I did her hair and makeup, and I'm happy to say I did a fucking awesome job. She looked amazing. Definitely better than she ever had before. It was a great day and everyone went home tired and happy.

I'll post pictures when I regain my strength and energy.

Now we are focusing on the fact that Nicole is having her gallbladder taken out on Tuesday. Not pretty newlywed stuff.

Computer Fun

Mike's laptop I was borrowing crapped out on me the other night, so obviously I had to get a new one.

Can I just say how irritating it is buying a new laptop. It's at least a grand you didn't want to spend, but it's a necessity because otherwise you have to stay at work 18 hours a day to do work.

I ended up with a macbook. It's my first Apple in about... 20 years? It's alright so far, but I'm still going to install Vista on here because two of the three programs I need for work don't run on OSX. My major complaint right now is that the edge keeps digging into my wrists so I look like I fail at suicide.

I made sure to get the three year extended warranty because apparently I eat laptops or something. Or maybe I'm electric and short them out. Either way my laptops keep breaking about one a year, which is not OK.

I hate weddings right now...

...really, I do. I think I love weddings, but then I have 9 in a summer and by the time we are 25% in, I hate them. The uncomfortable shoes, the bad food, the silly dancing, it is all bad. And they all run into one another.

The last one I'm standing up in is this upcoming Sunday. And holy crap will I be excited when it is OVER. I love my friend who is getting married like a sister. I am just so tired, and so stressed out. It is super stressful to be the Maid Of Honor! If anything goes wrong it is your fault. Not that anything has gone wrong yet, but I'm nervous because this is a completely DIY wedding. And communication has been lacking between parties.

Her Bachelorette party was this past weekend. It ended up being a combined party with her future hubby and his friends because that is what they wanted, but they got a lot of grief from people about it. Seriously? What the fuck for? It is THEIR party, not yours. So get over yourself. They (hopefully)will only get married once, and this is what they want. It's not like they asked everyone to pay for a trip to the Hamptons for the weekend, like other people I know. They just wanted a party at their house, followed by arcade games and booze at Dave & Busters, followed by a bar they like, followed by late night breakfast foods. Who cares if boys and girls are together? Grow the fuck up and save your comments. Brides and Grooms are so freaking stressed before their weddings. Bachelor & Bachelorette parties are supposed to be an escape from the stress for one night. Who are you to give them a hard time and pile on the stress? Grrr...
Ok. I think I'm done bitching now...
