It's all for you, New York, New York
I don't care what you say about this city. Is it dirtier than Xtina Aguilarra? Yes. Does it stink like piss? Absolutely. When you have had a day like mine, where you get from the hours of 9-5 to accomplish a million things - there is no other place like New York.
I woke up at 7:45am and got ready to plea my case to the jury duty tribunal. I went in and listened for the magic words in the seminar "If for any reason you feel you cannot serve, please go to 60 Centre Street". Excellent! Off I go with the rest of unpatriotic slobs who have found better reasons to not serve their country. I arrive at "60" an make my way to the wrong room on the wrong floor where some jury duty propoganda was blasting through the televisions. "Back in the Roman times....." Blah fucking blah. I go back down the elevator and make my way to the "get out of jury duty free" room.
Strangely enough, the jury guys were nice. I managed to postpone jury duty for an entire year.
Which left me free to go to Hunter College and fin out why those fuckers cancelled all my classes.
I enrolled in www.tuitionpay.com because I didn't have the dough to pay up front. These fuckers took my money and told me I would have no problems with Hunter. Last night, when I went to confirm that school started today I noticed a distinct *LACK* of classes.
Turns out tuitionpay.com fucked up. Long story short, I got all my classes and those fucks at tuitionpay are on my shit list.
I still don't know what i'm doing for employment.
After the Hunter fiasco I went to the dentist only to find out I was imagining a cavity. He took an x-ray an relieved me of $40. Thanks.
I got some notebooks (not the kind that would inspire Ryan Gossling to read to me in my senile years) and am now in a Starbucks being charged out my gigi for bandwith.
All in all, a lot was accomplished today - seriously - where else could you go to two courts, register for school, go to the dentist, meet a buddy for lunch, buy some notebooks and drink chai all in the same day.
Now to get some more caffeine to endure back to back classes this evening.
The bitch of this is, is I know teaching is never going to be worth dealing with 5 more sociology classes.

When you actually get to be a good patriotic slob and serve jury duty, watch that jury tape. its pretty f-ing funny. you get to watch an entire village of people back in the days or yore (yar! yore!) throw people in the lake to determine if they're guilty or innocent. Watching those actors/actresses struggle to deliver lines like "Burn!" and "rah!" is really all kindsa hilarious.
Fuckin bursar.

Should I play the role of the grammer/spelling police, the way others do on my blog?
No. I'd rather not.
