Ahhh....jury duty!

Tomorrow is the day I have been dreading and trying to get out of for weeks...the first day of jury duty. Absolutely wonderful!!! I don't think I would have a problem going if I didn't love my job so much, but as my luck would have it, I'm stuck going and sitting and waiting to be called in a room full of people who I don't know. Why oh why can't I just go to work and get through my normally busy day with my friends/co-workers? Yes, I know I'm crazy. I'll be fine though.

So today, I spent my day trying to write out notes of what absolutely needs to get done tomorrow during the day and what can wait until I can make it in sometime later in the evening when I go in to follow through on a few things. Hopefully that will help while I'm gone!

In other news, last Friday, M and I were invited to go to lunch with the President of the Company. I had won the lunch as part of the Christmas giveaways last year and finally got around to redeeming it. M, being my partner in crime, was the co-worker I chose to go with me. Really though, I did have a hard time choosing just one person to go with me, there were a handful of friends that I wish could have joined us. Overall though, lunch was a success! We had fun talking and joking around and also learning more about the Company, while telling him about some of our antics over the years. I will say though, it was kinda weird knowing that we were able to leave work a few hours early on Friday afternoon - I felt like I was playing hooky and could get in trouble for it at any time.

My weekend went fairly well. I had a good day Saturday and a fun Saturday night and I took it easy most of Sunday, which was something that I needed to do.
I'm not sure how the rest of the week looks yet. It should be alright. I just have to get myself over this little obstacle tomorrow and we'll see what each day brings.

One final note, a huge CONGRATULATIONS to my awesome Bro!!! He was accepted to SIUE's School of Business today! Bro, I am so proud of you! You have done so many great things in your life so far, but in my eyes, this is the absolute best thing you have accomplished academically to date. I know you've stressed about getting into the program, but like I told you before, you had nothing to worry about, your grades and academic performance speaks volumes about your work ethic. You're a chip off of this older block! :) Congrats again and we'll celebrate when you have some free time!!!
