eww, jury duty
Yeah, joy. I've been summoned for jury duty. How thrilling. I can't say that I'm overjoyed by this. How can I make decisions that affect someone else's life (and sometimes multiple people) when I can't even figure out my own half the time? Oy vey, I really hope that there isn't any thing pending that needs a jury. I really, really, really don't want to do this. I guess I shouldn't complain, I mean, it is my duty and all that crap. But I just don't feel competent to do it. Sitting there with a bunch of strangers waiting around all day, I will be such a basket case. Though maybe I should be glad. I mean, if I do get stuck being on a jury, then they'll pay me. Sure, it's a pittance, but it is better than what I'm making right now. You know, if I get stuck doing some long drawn out case, that's when I'll get a boatload of calls for interviews. Bloody Murphy's Law, I swear. Grr. One step at a time. Just have to wait until it's my time and make my phone call and hope that they don't need me. And hope. And hope. Patooey!

Yeah, I guess it's a paycheck, all be it a boring one :(
I had never been summoned for jury duty until...a coupla years ago I get summoned to effing FEDERAL COURT for jury duty! About 100 prospective jurors went to three different possible trials for the lottery draw and gawddamnit if I didn't get picked for any of em! Waah.
Oh yeah - and I forgot to mention that the night before a major blizzard rolled thru the state... It took 2 hours to get to the damn courthouse when it should have only taken 35 minutes. Nightmare.
