Share the Covers--Mrs. Robinson
Here is the original by Simon and Garfunkel . . .
And the funky cover by the Lemonheads . . .
I regularly go to the Court for random odds and ends errands for the office (part of the paralegal gig) and it never disappoints as far as random entertainment. Today was no exception. In fact, it was the most entertaining day at Court ever.
I was behind two women going into the Court house when we came upon a homeless man in a wheelchair at the doors. We asked if he was going in and helped him to open the doors. He gets to security and of course he has a billion backpacks and pouches on his Rascal. The guard asks if he has any weapons in any of his knapsacks. He says no. The guard asks him to take the bags off so she can inspect them. He says he can't and he won't. Several other guards come over and they find dozens of knives in the backpacks. The man (who I really kind of felt bad for . . . he didn't really have the wherewithal or the means to highjack the place) got all defensive about this because he was supposed to be in Court at 8:30. This happened around 10:00.
Then after waiting for 20 minutes or so through that ordeal, I go to the records department. There are two gentleman in front of me. The first guy finishes with no problem. The second guy walks up to the clerk (the only one working bteedubs) with two papers stapled together. He tells the clerk that he is with an insurance company that is getting sued and needed all the cases that the Plaintiff had been involved in, which were conveniently listed out on the two sheets of paper. Every document. From every case. I wanted to tell the guy that this was a pointless exercise because as per Colorado Rules of Civil Procedure, he would not be able to use any of that information really in trial or at least it would have to pass the exception rules as any testimony regarding previous convictions is restricted as it would prejudice the Plaintiff *pushes glasses up on nose*, but I didn't.
And that is the story of how it took me two hours to get a document certified at Court this morning.

Your red jacket is awesome and the wide leg sailor pants....awesome-r! I love this look.
I love thrifting. About 80 to 85% of what I own was thrifted. My sis doesn't like thrifting for all the reasons you mentioned but me, I don't mind at all for all the good reasons you've also pointed out. Friends see my wardrobe and think that I have a lot of money to throw away on clothes. I know I don't.
The good thing about thrifting here is that the clothes come from different parts of the world, mostly Asian brands and most of the quality is great.

Serious bragging rights you've got there, Frannie! State Senator! Wow! Kudos to Conner!
Now I've seen a lovely way to style my brown skirt. Cute look.
I wish I knew suggestions to give about Kaden. I'm sorry that I don't.

I understand its good to be responsible about spending money, but when a Giorgio Armani item is that dirt cheap you'll be needing jail to keep me from getting them. Looooove your dress; all the pockets and buttons! it's so fab with the leo shoes.

Love your relaxed look. Acceptance of people from a different culture, ethics, sexuality, color, e.t.c is something a lot of people (myself inclusive) need to learn. I think that it's an individual thing. And is a pointer to how open-minded and humane someone truly is. I think that at first there is the shock to overcome and then if someone is open-minded they become accepting of the other person.
I must confess I did wonder about some of your work outfits, but you're lucky τ̲̅☺ have such relaxed dress code at work. I like the occasional power suit myself but on the regular I don't. Cute monochrome look. Love your necklace.
