harbl encouragement thread

histela

harbl, i've been thinking a lot lately about your fruit fly catching contraption, because it's fruit fly season. i've seen people on the big board talking about similar configurations, and i say in my head, 'oh, they're talking about jarbls!'

i've also been thinking lately about IS IT FALL YET, IS IT TIME FOR HARBL COMING HERE YET??

for some reason it costs a lot more to fly from BWI to SEA than dulles or reagan, i don't know why
i emailed my boss but he is on vacation
also one of my co-workers is quitting to become a writer? i hope it does not become too difficult to get a couple days off.

i am confident you will overcome these obstacles

weird! when i was looking at tix for work trip i found good deals from bwi to sea!

haha my last post was so negative. what price range is a good deal? i haven't flown in a while. i am finding under $300 for non-bwi and over $300 for bwi.

i don't know i kinda figure anything under 350 is a good deal.
i remember, back in the day, i flew from nyc to seattle for $99. i had a rt once for $220! sigh.

harbl did you have any involvement in the events of the link you posted on facebook this evening???

haha no. that's in a different county than where i work. but the whole case fascinated me! this guy has posted his flyers near my house and he has placed his toilet-sculptures in baltimore, so i knew about him before this happened. his myspace page is amazing. he is very paranoid and his understanding of the government is very interesting. i was just following the case out of amusement. although it was so stupid and obvious he never should have been charged with anything and he had to spend time in jail AND a state mental institution and his pit beef business closed because of it. even i could have won that case! he would have been a nightmare client though.

anyway for the uninitiated this is the guy i'm talking about http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/baltimore-county/bs-md-co-toilet-bomber-acquitted-20110915,0,6180757.story

i had jury duty today and i came kind of close to getting on the jury for a 1st deg. murder trial with a lot of witnesses. i was scared because it would be so bad for my coworkers and me if i was out for so long. i need encouragement because i am in court 8 of the next 10 work days and i think i'm going to die. i have to see 7 people in jail tomorrow! my usual tired-limit is 3 people. then we are hiring 2 new people, and i'm going on my small vacation. phew.

if you die because of court 8 and 7 jailbirds, you will not be able to have 1 small vacation. so please don't die.

(i am not exactly clear if the 2 new hires are part of the problem or part of the solution so i didn't include them in the equation.)

oh, i misarranged some sentences. the 2 new hires are part of the solution that will give me less time in court and fewer clients!

i am encouraged because i made red curry and drank 2 pumpkin beers

i would like to encourage you to think about that house.

i'm thinking about it!!

yay!! you should make an appointment to look inside!

i should but i don't know if it would be a serious inquiry. i am working harder now on not spending money so i can save! i didn't go grocery shopping yet because i am using up things i have. except i went to the chinese store yesterday, but i only spent $15 and got things i will use. i was going to go on a walk to see it again but

it's raining

dear harbl,

i just ate the strawberry-banana yogurt you left behind, and at lunchtime i will eat the last of the leftover pasta you made.

<3<3<3

*single tear rolls down cheek*

feel like i let u down by not posting to sandbox

a single rolling tear is always very convincing.

i had no idea i could have been encouraging harbl on the sandbox all this time!

the sandbox is the true secret borad of ilx

I hope that harbl is always encouraged

i am supposed to ahve my 1st jury trial tomorrow and i am not sure how to do it

stay up all night watching a law and order marathon?!

Seriously wishing you poise and confidence and equanimity under pressure.

awesome, good luq

do it harblously.

think of the jury as a row of fruit flies, your argument as the vinegar in the jarbl. it'll be a snap!

how'd it go

i was wrong, the client was v lucky and got a judge who is a stickler for starting at a certain time and the state put its witness on call and she was late so they made us an offer we couldn't refuse and there was no trial

that is what's known as a plea jarbl

well done, harbly<3

that stickler judge would not like me at all.

the subject of the trial was going to be telephone misuse lol

harbl, do you know this man?

haha not personally. it is seriously the shittiest worst most suburban dull ugly boring county. except a bunch of other counties in maryland.
