*sits back*...*breathes*

Wow, it's been a fun week. I've had a lot to post about, but no time to post. :) I guess I should catch people up on jury duty first. We came back to the courthouse and actually had the jury impaneling, which lasted for nearly six grueling hours and went much more slowly than it needed to go. I was dismissed, a fact which shocked nobody. I have so much more I could say about that, but I'm not going to touch it.

On Tuesday, Andy and I had the most hilarious 7 AM meeting ever. We had to go down to FG SQUARED for a meeting with Motorola, which had been scheduled at 7 AM...there were about 16 people on the call, but conspicuous in his absence was the person who needed to be on the meeting for said meeting to have any value. 10 minutes into the call, we disbanded.

On Friday, my efforts to move began in ernest. I went to UHaul and bought boxes (UHaul has awesome boxes!) and began getting everything in order. Friday evening, I was able to get out of the house thanks to a call from Peter inviting me to Trudy's.

Saturday: Move Day. Actually, the move was relatively uneventful, but there were a couple of really funny stories. The best was an attempt to move my parents' piano. My mom told me about four days ago that I could take their piano since I'm the only one who would play it, so I said, "Great!" Peter's reaction to this was the best: "The Geneva Conventions state that if a move will involve a piano, you have to mention it up front!" This ended up being more trouble than it was worth. :p The piano weighed in the area of 600-700 pounds, and four of us working together were completely unable to lift it more than about three inches off the ground. Finally, we tried to put it on a new furniture dolly that my mom had bought. This completely failed...we pushed the dolly about two inches and one of the wheels completely shredded. We quickly got the piano back off of the dolly and Moriah lifted up the dolly, and the rubber on the wheel was in three pieces, and we watched as all of the bearings in the wheel fell out and onto the ground. In all honesty, it was one of the most hilarious events of the day.
