Jury Duty out the door

After driving 30 minutes to Denham Springs to drop Isaac off to my sister and 30 minutes back to Baton Rouge to get to the federal building on time and about a two hour wait in the library we were informed that our case went kerplut or something like that and we were free to go. In the meantime I networked with the other jurors passing out business cards (even to the jury workers) and encouraged them to get to my shop and buy stuff. Hopefully I made a successful contact because one of the ladies has some items she'd like to put on consignment. I do love people who want to do consignment. It's not a dime out of my pocket and I make money off of their stuff while giving them an outlet to sell it. I also have a big mouth and told her and a few others about the gloriousness that is craigslist.com (they should seriously start paying me as a frequent advertiser or something), but we'll see if the stuff comes through. I just ask for 25% which is saving them the hassle of dealing with the whole selling and marketing bit. They just tell me what they want to make and I sell it for them and get my cut. I think I might start offering a craigslist posting along with consignments...ooh, I love how my fingers come up with their own ideas on the keyboard. I'm on Robitussin so excuse the rambling...what was I saying? Oh, I'm free from jury duty and my interview is Friday at 11 with an secrect organization that I shan't reveal until I have secured or denied the position for anyone out there wanting to swoop in on it. I'm protective like that. I even have a sweet deal with an awesome (and rediculously expensive) day care and the job and day care are right by my house. How cool is that? Oh and it was recommended by my friend, florist and political lobbyist who is friends with the lady hiring so cross your fingers for me that they pay enough to cover daycare!!!
