so when it comes down to people wanting to need a license to vote and people b*tch about how that's not fair for poor or homeless people (or people who just don't drive in general) how in the hell is this fair? i get stuck in jury duty because i have a license, but the crackhead down the street doesn't, yet he can vote?

lame.

my boss has been selected for jury duty 7 times in his life. bad karma i guess

I see. I didn't know that, very informative. Thanks guys!

I woke up at 3 AM last night and was full of energy -- pretty much wide a wake.

Fell back to sleep at around 4:30 AM, woke up at 7 AM, and was dead tired,

I'm trying to figure out exactly why MaCruz has been using those crappy Apple Earbuds for the past few years! Is he absolutely clueless? Doesn't he know that no one uses them? Doesn't he know that there are cheaper alternatives that sound mind boggling better?

.....I don't know! The world may never know!

[MaCruz]

I told you already. I don't care what headphones I use as long as I can use them at work.

Besides I don't take care of them since I throw them around in my lunchbox or book bag at work and overtime it will receive wear and tear damage.

I tell you what though.... this Christmas how about you send me pair of earbud Beats by Dre since your company tends to throw money to you guys

Probably because you have a much more active and fulfilling social life than I do.

Just keep an eye out for excellent deals and buy what you like (...within budget of course). Give it five years or so, and it'll grow...

I did the same thing this week - on three consecutive nights.
I need an honest night's sleep, starting tonight.

It's too bad that you're not a student. I received a summons, but I didn't have to appear when I told them that I was in college. The fact that I went to school in another town didn't hurt either.

I've been the exact opposite this week...thankfully! There was a period a few months back when all I could get was 4 hours. It drove me nuts. It lasted for several weeks.

I didn't mind a shortened sleep schedule when I was younger, but it's getting tougher as one gets older. I would hate to waste a perfectly good 3-day weekend by retiring early; I'll just start a new sleep schedule next Monday night.

Haha! Good for you! Enjoy your waking moments!

Will try, but it's going to be hard. This is one of those weekends where it's warmer in Toronto than it is down here, and it's not enjoyable being in the living room when the thermometer dips below 0°C outside. My furnace will be in overdrive through next Monday.

My dog sleeps in weirdest/funniest positions. Every time I look at her, she has moved to something I would consider uncomfortable. Dunno how she does it.

[Scarriere]

My Daughter just called and I talked to her, my niece and two sisters. I am very happy, but also sad. I miss them so much!

[fluffles]

Lots of stuff on my mind now. I have a deadline to meet on Monday, but I already asked my client for a time-off during weekends. And I feel like doing other things too, like drawing, or listening to music. I definitely feel like watching a movie. But I can't do that with my sister working. Guess I'll forget about the weekend off and work too
