Jury Duty

On Tuesday I went downtown because I was summoned for jury duty. Yippy Skippy. The fog was heavy that morning and so was the mood in the jury waiting room. We were told the case would last about two weeks. Uh. I could practically see the wheels turning inside every head in the room, trying to figure out how they'd get out of this one. Fortunately for me I didn't have to do a thing. When the judge was ready, the jury room employees ran our names through the computer and called about 80 people from the group of 100. My name was not on that list. Rad! So they read our names from the short list, told us we had fulfilled our obligation and were free to go. Whew. Best jury duty ever.
