Duty oh the joy of Jury Duty.

I have been to jury duty before where I was unprepared, waited the entire day only to be sent home. It totally sucked. So when I received my summons last November a few people told me "don't go, how will they know?" Several people had good points....not certified mail, how do they know if you did or didn't get it. So that's just what I did...ignored it. Whew!!!! in the clear! WRONG remember it's me we are talking about. I get another summons telling me about my failure to appear. Now if I do not show up for this big daddy of jury dates I shall be held in contempt of court. That's great a big fine and mom goes to jail.....so I will be at Jury Duty in the morning. I am prepared, book, computer, snacks, bus card, cash.

I don't want to be picked...but secretly I would looove to be sequestered on a high profile gag order murder case!! My luck, I will sit until my ass is numb, feet asleep, then get on a crowded bus back home. With $6.00 pay that does not cover the bus pass.

So instead of showing up with a Peta t-shirt I was planning) books on Wicca, I decided to wear Kakies a nice blouse, (ha ha I said blouse) pearls, dark brown Clark's Mary Janes. I shall read chick lit nonsense. Perfect Juror!! I will then be pissed if I am not even chosen to be questioned.

I wonder if they have a Starbucks station there.....? Riiiiight.


One of my very best friends if all time, has had so many Jury Summons, and she has been picked, and served on several juries (Bitch!). A murder trial also. We used to say she had all the good luck, and I got all the bad luck. (inside BFF joke)

Tomorrow is really not the best day for me...I have been in the classroom at work for the past 2 days, learning new "Motivational questioning skills". Great training, however I have only about a 45 minute attention span in class. Don't get me wrong, class...school...rocks! I love it. (I LOVE the smell of a new textbook-bliss!!!)  But on my terms, my classes, my pick. This was 18 hours that really could of been compressed into a 2 hour class. I was also elected spokesperson for the class. Yea Me. Why? Me. Did I volunteer? No. Was I pissed, yes. So Tomorrow I will be prepared to be the Jury foreman (might even wear the super rack bra!). My point is, I am "sit in a chair for long periods time" done for the year. The past 2 days has well exceeded its allowance for the year in a consecutive time span.

I might even blog from the courthouse.....if anything it will be a good people watching day. Getting up at 5:30 is bullshit, I can normally roll out of bed at 7:20 make coffee, kids on the bus and be logged into my computer  working before 8:00. Working from home makes me so grateful that I do not have to hustle it in the morning!! I see patients when I decide. (I have no control issues he he he)

People now don't go committing any crimes! This is the only summons I expect for the next several years........
