I dreamed Skinner dissed my jury duty service to the whole forum...

He said I was allowing things to stand that should be hidden and that my explanations weren't clear. I denied it and said I could post the results if anyone didn't believe me. He said I couldn't do that because it would violate the privacy of others. Then I argued that he was telling the whole board about MY jury duty and how was that any different? He said I shouldn't be worried about it IF I didn't have anything to be ashamed of. So I said fine, I'll just opt out of jury duty!!! Then he posted in Announcements that star members could no longer opt out of jury duty.

No more DU & chocolate chips before bedtime.

I'd need at least a D cup, thank you very much!

The hat, mink and gloves are a nice touch, but I think I'd probably frighten the jury at this point.

Got the news in the downstairs break room sitting on a ratty old couch.

Woke up really bummed about it. Took me a few minutes to figure out that I don't do that kind of work, we don't have a downstairs break room and the furniture is all brand new.

It's all too confusing when you are still groggy from a deep sleep. I have been having crazy dreams lately too..... must be the phase of the moon or something.

I'm functionally self-employed (screenwriter and script-doctor), though I have been pondering both opening a restaurant and whether a co-operative run communications and PR firm catering to liberal causes and NPOs would work. (I know all the right people and we're all underemployed (or misemployed) and it's what I wanted to be doing all along. None of us have the money to start a business alone.)

When I have it, it's always set in the offices above the Hartford, CT train-station.

only to wake up and discover I'm paralyzed from the neck down and there is something I can sense but not see in the room...then I lose consciousness.

It's really trippy and I'm not sure if I'm possibly actually awake for like 2 seconds but my voluntary muscle control is disengaged or something.

and it's very clearly my bedroom, right down to being a mess. I'd like to think if I were dreaming, I'd at-least have a clean room or own nicer crap.

but I once dreamt about a non-political forum that I was on, and it was that someone posted a thread headed 'LeftishBrit' (actually I had another, non-political username on that forum) DOES NOT EXIST!'
