I really do. I'm grateful to live in this (sometimes painfully) small town. I love that most of the places that I eat, work, and "play" are within a 10 block radius. (Though I live kinda far out, according to most, it's only 9 miles from "downtown"...)
I have a client who is in jail (imagine that) and his Momma had some items of "evidence" (mostly receipts, letters, employment stuff) to give me. I told her to come by my office this morning, but her OTHER son had court this morning, so I told her I'd just meet her at the courthouse around 9:30 or 10:00. While I was waiting to find her, I thought I'd sit in on a civil non-jury day in my judge's courtroom. See how "the other side lives" for the day (tee hee hee...) Well, guess what. There was a forfeiture hearing of some alleged drug money (basically, the "money" was on trial - if it was in close proximity to drugs or contraband, and the evidence showed it was most likely a product of drug-dealing, the State gets to keep it...) So, the lady who claimed to OWN the money was there trying to get it back. Surprisingly, (note sarcasm here) she is charged with Possession with Intent to Distribute and some other charges. Of course my judge saw me sitting back there and asked me to advise her - of her 5th Amendment right, how anything she testifies to (regarding the money or the alleged drugs) could and probably WOULD be used against her when her case got indicted and tried. *sigh*
That's what I get for going to the courthouse when I don't have anything on the calendar. (In case you were wondering, the money was in fact forfeited...) But, I HEART my job anyway! You never know WHAT you're going to be doing next. And, what I really really heart about Tuesdays is that it's Government Employee discount day at the Peach Palace Diner. 30% off!!! Is it time to eat yet?

1) Do you heart your job? Why (or why not?)
ReplyDeleteI'm assuming you mean a paying job? I am enjoying my job working in the baby room at Parent's Morning Out. It gives me my baby fix without another baby of my own, and I get paycheck every other week. I also get paid to sing in the choir and for choir practice which is fun.
2) What seemingly insignificant things are you grateful for today?
Fall weather, clean laundry (that needs folding), and the iced coffee I'm about to make.
3) If you weren't doing what you're doing now, what WOULD you be doing?
Working as a School Librarian I suppose.
4) What are your goals for the week?
Clean the house for guests Wednesday and Friday, fold all the laundry, get Fall clothes out of the attic, make bread, finish my scarf.
5) What's for lunch?
We ate at the school today which was serving meatloaf...bluh. I ate vegetarian instead. Salad, mashed potatoes, pinto beans and chocolate pudding. That sounds so pedestrian, but Aramark cooked it and cleaned it so I'm happy! :)
Where are your answers girly girl?
:)
