Useless Conversation

It's awesome when someone sends you a very poorly worded and hostile email at work... and uses reply all.

That's the best. I recently received a reply all from another student who was intending to just email one student about purchasing a copy of his midterm and final from the previous term. I am sure it will not end well for him. What's even better is that mister reply all is a complete douche nozzle.

bausomeness.  

I am in love.

Having jury duty after you've just missed most of a week of work due to a cold sucks ass.

Being done with jury duty because your case was a trifling 1 1/2 day car crash thing that happened 6 years ago? Golden.

I swear, I get hit with jury duty more than any human I know. This is the 4th time I've been called since 1997, the 3rd jury I've served on and the 2nd I've served as foreman. But at least this case wasn't about fondling kids.

Have you considered that they have you on the short list because it's not like where you live has a large selection pool of non-mouthbreathers to select from.

[Nebu]

I get called in, but never make the jury.

Them: "Tell me your name and your profession"

Me: " My name is Nebu and I work for ____ University as a Forensic Toxicologist**"

Them: "Dismissed"



** Technically, I'm not... but that's the title I was hired under. 

[rattran]

I always make it to panel selection, then get booted on questions about either my current job, or military experience. Or once, my earrings. "I see you have spiky earrings, are you in a gang?"

[Miasma]

You should sell clip ons outside the court room doors.  Hundred bucks a pair.

I always figured I had a "get out of jury duty" free card but the last time I went I was picked. Probably because it was a DUI and I was one of two people in the whole pool who drank yet worked for the government so neither the prosecution or defense struck me thinking I would shade their way.

[Abagadro]

I think I may be a terrible parent. Actual words that came out of my 9 year old's mouth tonight:

At level 18 Ahri with a mana regen is totally OP.

[MisterNoisy]

I've been summoned for jury duty once, but hurricane Ivan rolled through the week of the trial, so I got to skate.  Not sure it was worth being without a roof or power for a month, but whatever.

That makes you an awesome parent.  You know exactly what they mean!

[Lantyssa]

No jury duty for me yet, but the prosecution didn't like my answer about what I felt the State's role in matters of prostitution should be.

[Sky]

Submissive?

[Cyrrex]

I was going to say Subsidized.

[Mosesandstick]

I'm very confused, how do you decide whether someone is fit for jury duty?

[Ironwood]

Both lawyers ask questions.

[Phildo]

When I was in college, I got selected for jury duty twice, at the same time, in two different states.

[Paelos]

I've always been removed early in the process. I don't think these lawyers wanted accountants on their civil trials. 

[ghost]

When I was in college, I got selected for jury duty twice, at the same time, in two different states.

That would make for a great excuse for both summons.

[Phildo]

And I haven't been asked back since!

[RhyssaFireheart]

I haven't been called for jury duty since '86ish, when I had a summons to Federal court in East St. Louis and I was at college over 2 hours away.  The husband gets called in regularly though.

[Yegolev]

I really like IBM's new set of logos.

[Rasix]

We have new logos?  Why wasn't I given a day off to celebrate this?

[Yegolev]

Maybe not new to you, but for your buddies at HP they seem new.  Also I've been dealing with IBM since 1996 so "new" may not be what you think.

[RhyssaFireheart]

So co-worker who usually arrives about the same time I do in the mornings seems to love telling me that she's "feeling cold" for me since I carry my winter coat in with me when walking from my car to the entrance.  I don't get why this bothers her so much though.  When I leave for work, I get into my car which is inside my insulated garage and drive the hour+ to work - by the time I get to the office, my car is plenty warm enough and I'm comfortable.  Why on earth would I need to wear a coat?  I bring it along because I do wear it when I go home.

[Reg]

I'm with the co-worker here. It's weird not to wear your coat in the car in winter.

[RhyssaFireheart]

That makes sense when you're getting into a cold car. But in the morning, my car is warm already so why wear a coat then? 

[Yegolev]

Just ignore her.

I figured my mohawk would kick me right out. No such luck. It's likely because I was one of about 6 white people in a pool of 36 - which is about representative of the demographics of this district.

[Hawkbit]

Not much better than sitting on my hands, waiting for project docs/equip from someone who just sent out a cat .gif to the whole office.  Hell is other people, indeed.

I bet half the white kids in your area have mohawks.

edit: I mean kids, like 3 or 4.

That's great.
HAY I'M NOT WORKING ON YOUR SHIT HAR HAR

[Miasma]

Bought five pairs of some sort of well regarded but hard to find wool blend socks from amazon.  They arrived today and three pairs were in proper packaging but two pairs were just rolled up inside eachother in bags, the same way you might throw them into your dresser.  I think amazon sold me refurbished, returned fucking socks.  One of the pairs has clear wear on the heel...

I feel mildly violated and swear the garbage bin I threw those two pairs into now smells like feet.

[Hawkbit]

A few weeks ago I ordered some socks from Amazon and wore two pairs, but I returned them because I think they caused some fungal toenails and foot warts.  I wore one of those pairs hard in the heel...
