Wow, fuckin forgot to pay attention for like 3 weeks or so.

So, how many shirts you got? Think about how many shirts are in your closet right now. OK, so, how many shirts do you really need? If I had to guess sight unseen, I would wager that I have probably 75 shirts in my closet, and even that might be on the conservative side. How many do I need? Considerably less.

I believe in wearing the same shit over and over again. I have a certain set of shirts that I consider to be my "work uniform", and I rotate the order week to week. What would be the point of having a fuck ton of clothes? If you pay attention, you would probably notice repeats in other people's shirts as well. Everyone has a finite amount of shirts, so its inevitable.

I suppose outside of work, I am a little more diverse. I can always wear my "work shirts" to something other than work, and on occasion, I do so. But more to my liking, is my standard set of t-shirts. I wear these while lounging around the house, or going to play hockey or whatever. I have about 30 Metallica shirts, so those are always in heavy rotation, and I suppose that has become sort of a trademark of mine. People mention the fact that I "always wear a Metallica shirt". Then, I have a few other t-shirts for occasions where Metallica is not necessarily applicable. They are a kooky variety of things. I have one shirt that has a picture of a football, but says "Baseball" under it. I have an All Valley Karate Champion ship '84 Cobra Kai shirt, which is awesome, I have a couple of Harley Davidson shirts, etc.. It is an eclectic mix.

This does not really mean anything, and I am not going anywhere specific, it is just something I started thinking about the other day and it intrigued me. Think about your shirt count, your rotation, and perhaps take note of other people's rotation at work. Good times.

Oh, also, I got a jury summons. Its all electronical now. You fill out the questionnaire on line, then after 5pm on the business day prior to your summons date, you go to their website and enter your "e-juror" code, and it tells you if you have to show up to the court house the next day or not. I always dreaded the old jury summons thing, but last time I got one, I said fuck it, let's have some fun with it, it will be an interesting look into the court system, so I went, prepared to be sequestered for months in some sort of highly sensational murder type deal, and instead, I got nothing. I sat in a room full of people for 2 or 3 hours, and behind the scenes, the DA was trying to get some poor sap to take a deal. The perp finally signed the paperwork, and we were all released. Fail. So, hopefully this time I will get to be on a jury. That would be keen.
