Can you say "slacker?" It's been two whole weeks since my last post. Yikes! The good news is that I've been busy taking care of my wonderful clients and working on getting a few new ones. All the networking I've been doing has definitely started to pay off. Unfortunately, I missed an NYEBN rooftop event on Monday because I was sick, but I'll be back in the saddle soon enough.
Good news - I have officially completed my service to New York County as a juror. Well, sort of. I spent two days watching other suckers get questioned and selected to sit on a civil trial for a labor law case, which was estimated to last ten days. I and my friends in the back row of the selection room managed to dodge that inconvenient bullet. I actually thought it would be kind of interesting to see what goes on in a courtroom in real life (i.e. not Law and Order), but it would have wreaked serious havoc on my schedule (and my ability to take care of my clients) for the next couple weeks. So, I'll take my $80.00 (is that taxable?) and Juror's Proof of Service Certificate and be on my way, thanks!
Finally, it's been a while since I've been to a dentist. When you don't have dental insurance, it's hard to convince yourself that forking over a few hundred dollars to have someone poke and scrape your mouth is a good idea. Enter Groupon.com. This is a site where businesses offer deals that "tip" (go into effect) when a minimum number of people commit to buy the offer. I've been a Groupon member for a while, but this was my first purchase: A dental exam with x-rays for $59 dollars. I'm going on Monday. Perfect timing, they can clean off all that Halloween sugar!
Have a great Halloween weekend...it's sure to be an interesting one here in the Village!
