Well---that was a pleasant surprise in the middle of an already pleasant day. No. I am not being sarcastic, believe it or not. Meanwhile, some people that know me well are waiting for the set-up and the punch line. But there isn't one. Other people that know me well are saying "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH MICHAEL??? WHERE IS OUR BELOVED GROUCH???" Sorry folks---I'm right here, being---well---nice. I really enjoyed the hell out of hanging with my brother's band this morning---and then this afternoon I received two vinyl albums I had ordered---that weren't due to arrive until Monday. But that was not the surprise. The surprise came in the mail. The Circuit Clerk's office sent me a check for $25 for jury duty this past Monday. I had no clue I was going to be paid for anything since I was dismissed from service (along with 33 other people) and not chosen to sit on the jury during the trial. While it cannot be considered 'free' money since it did cost me 6 hours of my time, it WAS unexpected money. I've always thought that was the best kind. ☺ So I'm really sorry folks, but, y'see, I AM having a good day. But don't worry---I'm sure I'll be over it tomorrow and be back to my usual self.
