Jury Duty

Crap! Gotta report for jury duty tomorrow. Forget that I have 2 small kids to take care of. No excuse this time. They said show up and they will provide daycare. Yeah right! I'm gonna give my most valued possessions to the courthouse jammed full with weirdos, perverts, rapists, and FREE daycare manned by people neither my kids or I have ever met. Can they really make me?

I am taking a gamble and forcing my kids to get up early and show up with me in hopes they will say, "oh, you really DO have kids, you can go." (I'm assuming people use that excuse as a way to get out of it and they don't believe people who write in anymore). If they still make me wait, I will call my dh and have him come pick them up (which works out fine since he's off tomorrow, but after that...).

Plus, my mom is coming to visit Thursday, I have to pick her up at the airport, I'm moving my MIL next week, my daughter has a dance recital this weekend. The timing just sucks. Jury duty in California...what a frickin nightmare. I'm still recovering from the whole OJ trial. I would be a disaster in a jury room...I love to argue, will not be convinced by any BS racial tactics, have very little faith in prosecutors these days having seen friends of friends put away on total BS charges while real "criminals" walk the streets. NOT the kind of person you want on a jury. I have alot of bias.

Crap! I better get outta this.....

******UPDATE*******UPDATE*******UPDATE******

NO JURY SERVICE! WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! Went down there and had my name put on a list with 350 other jurors, filled out a questionnaire, was told to come back and check in again in 4 hours. Sat around waiting to see if I would get picked, and they passed me by. Our county service is a "one day or one trial" arrangement, so if you manage to sit around the jury room all day without being selected, you are let go for the year. Thank you God and thank you all those who sent vibes my way. It definitely worked. Phew! Finally, something went right this week.

And now mom will be here tomorrow so I am a happy camper again. xoxoxo
