On my mind: Oh, GEEZ! This is gonna be a hectic month for me. Besides Christmas shopping and present wrapping, I got hit with Jury Duty. Yeah, I got the notice just over a month ago, but it's for THIS month. And it's not just 'Come in and be done with it', but I am scheduled for FOUR different Tuesdays (if called).
I 'did' get called today though, so I had to show up. Basically boring at first. Hell, I even checked into Save-Point's IRC a couple times. BUT.... then it hit 1pm, and who wasn't called (including moi) was taken up for the final docket.... And *gasp* it was a drug trafficking case that was going to last two weeks minimum? EEEEEEP!
Jury selection whittled us down and they decided to call the 12 jurors and three alternates. OMG, I was relieved. I sure didn't wanna go and get involved in THAT!
Still... I gotta check next week to see if I gotta show up again.
