You may now call me "Your Honor".

I just received a xeroxed blue certificate in the mail:

DEMOCRATIC PARTY Philadelphia, November 8, 2005

Josh [my last name]

(I still don't know whether I get paid, though. Or, um, what I have to do.)

So much for me getting you a job!

I still think that I'll need something else. Somehow Judge of Election and LiveJournal Abuse Team volunteer together don't seem to completely make a career...

this is awesome.

[desh]

Don't you mean, "this is awesome, your honor"?

Man, you get one judicial appointment and suddenly you turn into a huge jerk. Get a grip!

[desh]

Order in the court!

(That was just me and estepha playing around. No worries.)

wow. Can you call me "Your Master?"

[desh]

Yeah, sure.

So, what would they have done if you didn't write yourself in, your honor?

[desh]

I think the ward leader gets to appoint someone, and I assume the first person s/he'd ask is whoever did it last. I should probably find out who that is.

holy SHIT, that's awesome. :D congratulations!

[desh]

Thanks!
