Twelve Hour Days

July 27th, 2011 at 04:42 am

My day started before 5am...and I didnt get off until almost 5:30pm...wowza. After 9 hours, I had to attend a 3 hour meeting and keep the minutes- hard to do when you are so tired and your brain is drained. (If I wasnt salary, I think I would be a little more excited about it.) And, I get to do it again on Thursday. The good news is that I can make it a short day tomorrow. Smile I have to say, I kinda like starting really early...and having so much time at the end of the day when I get off after 8-9 hours. (12 is just too many)

Im not sure what my days will look like on Friday and Monday. My assistant is off because she is getting married Saturday...together, we tag team supporting the CEO, so if she is not there, I should be- even if I start at 5am. Then I have jury duty on Tues-Thurs. Obviously, I need to figure out this crazy schedule.

While I would like an opportunity to serve on a jury, showing up is pretty much a waste of time. In my job, I work closely with law enforcement and am friends with many of them...defenders tend to disqualify me quickly for some reason. But I will go and see what happens.

I am starting to catch up a little financially now that DS sold his business and I am not needing to subsidize. He was able to pay me back the $600 I loaned him a couple of weeks ago, which will go back into the Christmas account.

Ds will leave on Sunday for interviews in Central-Northern California next week. I have zero doubt he will be hired. He is staying in the same business, and will make a great employee. I am so sad to know he is going, but am very proud and supportive of his decision and brave choice to do so. His wife and babies will stay up here until the first of the year- just to make sure he is certain this is what is best for his family. For that reason, I know I will see them often at least until after Christmas.

Ok...time to get to bed. 4am will come mighty early.

    Do you mean you are actually at work at 5 a.m.? Zounds!

    Yes, I hear you. I have a brother who is a police officer, and my grandfather was a chief of police, so that usually leads me to become "persona non grata" with attorneys selecting a jury. Buuut you have to be there anyway, and at least you have the insurance that you showed up to do your civic duty.
