Jury Duty or No Duty

"It is your civic duty to serve as a public jury", "you will feel it as a rewarding experience since very few people are "lucky" to be able to serve on a jury trial"

That is what the judge said in his morning announcement to us, 50 or so jurors.

what a total waste of time.
the morning started by me checking in and finding a seat amongst a lot of smelly people.
I hate perfumes, I totally hate colognes and I definitely hate Body odor.
so i found a seat where no one was and spread myself out to be three seats wide.
and what do you know, out of the 100 seats someone had to smack there ass in the seat next to me.

so moving on. i brought a book. it was a book a hadn't started, it was 300 pages, I finished the book at 2:38 pm.

I was called in to hear about the criminal case i "might" be selected for, it was disgusting. absolutely disgusting.

if i had known i would have to go back and sit some more i would have been pist to be called first.

so now i go and sit some more and wait for the judge to call me back to be questioned to determine whether I would be a candidate or not for the jury.

4 more hours go by,
I'm listening to a bunch of strangers tell other strangers their business and lives like they knew them for the last 20 years, this was annoying. there was also a man that was so annoying that by the end of the day  everybody knew his name.

it is now 330 pm, i ran out of food, water, and my book is finished.

the guy finally comes in, rattles off names, I hear mine, and run over.

"the judge apologizes for the delay but said that you guys can go, you have fulfilled your civic duty for the next 3 yrs, unfortunately you will not get the great experience of being part of a jury trial."

really dude? great experience? of what? missing days of work (cant believe i said that)?sitting and listening to people talk about things that are so disgusting i cant believe even happen?
i would rather poke my eyeballs out and sit in a Porto potty.

but for real dude, I'm not going to lose sleep over not being on a jury trial. try again next time.

so all in all besides my neck cramp, I got to pick Torrie up around 4 which is an hour earlier then usual, and we played. then i went to the gym. my head wasn't in it so i came home early.


and i saw exactly what i was missing.

my beautiful princess sleeping.

Torrie's dress for her party came in the mail today. we tried it on and excuse me but it is fucking adorable, and i almost took a picture, but I'm not its going to be a surprise for my birthday post!
