In tonight's game, ( the rest under a cut for those who don't care. )

And that's where we left off.

In tonight's game, ( the rest under a cut for those who don't care. )

And that's where we left off.

Let's try for two positive posts in a row, shall we?

I meant to post about this when I found out a month or so ago, but I completely forgot due to all of the chaos going on at the time. It turns out that Unnamed Nonprofit is doing an experiment this year where we get the entire week off for July 4. Once we close on Friday, June 27, we won't be back until Monday, July 7, so we'll have a whole nine days off in a row.

We always have that week-and-a-half off at the end of the year in December, where we're closed for the holidays before the super busy season starts at the beginning of January, and apparently the new president was impressed by how much it seemed to increase productivity at the beginning of the year. So because of that, he's testing to see if giving us a paid break twice a year instead of just once a year seems to give another mid-year boost.

I'm probably still going to be working a little, just to keep an eye out for emergencies like I did at the end of the year, but the summer tends to be significantly slower so I'm hoping it won't be more than an hour total over the course of the entire week - and it would five minutes here, five minutes there, etc.

Considering my Wednesday D&D group has chosen that week for our in-person D&D game, the timing is perfect. I'll have a whole five days of hiding from human contact to help build up my spoons before the long weekend of lots and lots and lots of human interaction.

One of my D&D friends and I were talking about jury duty on Discord a few days ago. She mentioned that her parents had gotten a jury duty notice for her at their home, despite her moving out and changing her address years ago. I told her about the same thing happening to me a few years ago, despite me not living in Tennessee since 2010, and we both shook our heads at the fact that Illinois and Tennessee are both that bad at updating records.

I was apparently tempting fate.

I've mentioned before that I'm signed up for USPS Informed Delivery, since my mail goes to my P.O. Box, and I don't want to go out my way to visit the post office unless I know there's something waiting for me. I got a notification today saying that I have a letter from the Jury Commissioner waiting for me, which is almost certainly a jury duty notice.

I'm going to go to the post office after work to pick it up so that I'll know the details about when it is. I need some groceries for Aldi anyway, so I'm just going to kill two birds with one stone and take care of it all after work.
