Free at LAST!

Hahahahahahhahahaha!

for the first time EVER I have managed to make it through a month of jury duty and not forget to call, and not be stuck on a damn jury!

and I get called like. every. single. year. Gets annoying, specially when the asshole has only been called ONCE…. it’s just not fair! course, he automatically gets out of it now because of his job that keeps him out of town for the majority of the month, but still – would be nice to see the calling equalized a little bit more.

But! I just called in for the final time, and says we are not needed and are all done – I had begun to belive that I was going to get nailed the last day and stuck for like a week. heh. I did have to go in once and sit there for a couple hours while we waited for the defendant to plea bargain, bargain struck and we were free to go, and I should get a whole 5 bucks for my trouble. *smirk*

You’d think for making us do our civic duty under penalty of law and jail time we’d be worth more then five bucks the first day and 20 for each full successive day. People have to take off of work, and miss out on full paychecks or go to Jail – just doesn’t seem that their reward system works very well. I’m always tempted to walk in and tell them to just hang the damn bastard already!….. for, you know, a shoplifting charge. *L*

In other news – another quarter over and done with. I believe I pulled A’s in both classes, even in Logic with was a damn fine achievement if I do say so myself. My final assignement saw me proving without a doubt through the use of properly valid logic argument forms that my prof was indeed not human, but a computer program. Poor guy emailed me privately to make sure that he hadn’t REALLY been an emotionless cad throughout the whole term. *L* Poor thing. I explained my careful use of Satire, and assured him I had no complaints, and he promised not to take the fact that I argued so convincingly for his automation personally. He’s even going to use the acronym I came up with for his last name in way of introduction for his next Logic class. *L*

The other class went well – even if it was all done in illustrator. My project was mostly faked info as I hadn’t heard from the Alaska Poetry League yet on which event I’d be making the poster for, however I did hear from them this morning, and they love what I came up with and will get me the information for their November 18th event and want to use my poster for it. Cool huh? I love seeing my work out there on bulliten boards everywhere. *beeeeeeeeg grin* Sure, it’s a donation of my time and talent – but what better way to get my name out there? People like the posters, they ask APL who did them, and tada, Lessa’s a household name.

Gonna dream? dream big.

So, I’ve got a week off.. unfortunately the asshole just got home so it won’t be much in the way of relaxation. heh. Dividend day is next wednesday though, and I’m pleased to report for the first time in 4 years, not including the house or the student loans, we will be debt free. As long as I can keep the asshole’s fingers out of the money pie. *smirks* I’ve laready told him I’m using most of it to complete my 2 year long struggle to get us out of debt, and he -says- that’s fine, so here’s hoping he keeps his end of the deal. For the last two years at divident time we’ve got his manspace, then his bus, and both, plus bills, cost us a pretty penny. This time I’ll get everything caught up, get some other stuff, get insurance back on the cars, and we’ll be set to go.

and THEN I’ll let him in on the bill paying and show him where all his money goes. I didn’t want to before then, because I simply do not need the stress of “why are we late on this, why wasn’t this paid, I dn’t understand I’m making more money then ever how can we still be behind by the way I need 50 bucks for this, that and the other thing.” Gee. Asshole spends us broke every time he walks in the door. Hell – I told him before he came home that there would be no extra spending until I saw what the insurance will do to the size of the paychecks, and he’s already asked me to send off 75 bucks in shit as he went through his mail. the man has not a clue, I swear.

Anyway, gonna have to putz around the sites and stuff to keep myself looking busy since I don’t have school for a week and well, he’ll start wanting to do stuff with me. *wrinkles nose* Apparently gotta go smooze with the bible thumping boss on sunday for some bonfire. Oh the joy. Man’s been good to the Asshole so we gotta go, but christ what boring people. Gonna try and figure out some way to bug out, but well – doubt I’ll be that lucky. heh.

Anyway – he’ll be back around this way momentarily so off I go. Happy Monday, all.

Well, for those wondering about the aftermath of an entry a while back, I feel better. I took some time after the Asshole left to just kind of veg, when TBF logged off the computer at night I put up an away, curled up on the couch, read books, watched movies, basically gave myself permission […]

The skys on fire…

Letting the pupppy out this morning while shoving the boy out the door to Gramma and Papa’s house for breakfast before school – and this is what I see… Beautimous, isn’t it? And yes – that’s frost on the windows of the cars…. And christmas lights still up from three? years ago. *chuckles* The perfect […]

There she is…..

OK, I admit it, I’m a hopeless sap. I like to watch the Miss America Pagent whenever asshole isn’t home and lets me have the remote and well, I remember that its on. heh. Yes, I’m one of those old fat women who get a perverse joy out of shredding the nations top beauties without […]
