What A Monday!

Got called for jury duty but was not picked as one of the 13 needed.
Would have been an interesting case. A Muslim supervisor fired a Roman Catholic because the plaintiff argues, "Religious discrimination" The Roman Catholic was a temp worker at a large employer. The firing arose he argues because he did not support the Muslim riots after the publishing of cartoons a couple of years back. Remember some folks were even killed by Muslims.

I can imagine the RC has his job record muddied. There were lots of legal types for the employer. I hope he gets an "impartial hearing" I told the juror, before I knew she would be picked, "I worked for Dept of Corrections. Wardens were always getting PO'd at a guard, firing them for no cause and we at the Director's level would have to defend the mess at arbitration." Same thing here I think.

I have no doubt the Muslim was mad as heck at the cartoon situation, not violent, and firing this RC was a way of showing his loyalty to Islam and expressing his own hostility. Since the RC was a temp, won't get his job back but maybe a settlement of some kind. At least that is my thought as a non-juror.

Then off to the eye MD's for yearly exam. Except this cute young MD said, "Your eyes are great, don't come back for two years!" They had hardly changed but because I did not go back last year when the glasses I did get were not working I headed out to the "ouch zone" I no longer have glasses insurance and ordered up myself a new pair of trifocals! $500 at least for my "afternoon out." Yipes I am so very glad that I have money for health care for now at least.

Came home, ate dinner then off to the YMCA for a treadmill, weights, back exercises and stretches. Now to bed.

I am so grateful for life and all my options. May your lives be so blessed.
I feel as if my soul is still sinking into being a priest.
I do not know what God has in store for me,
but I will be patient as God creates the door for me to walk through.
