Last night I made incredible chimichangas! YUM! I am eating one for lunch right now.
So, I just got dismissed from Jury Duty... yay! Sometimes I think I wouldn't mind being on a jury, others, I wouldn't, like today. I think it's a cool process and it's important, I just don't wanna do it. I guess though if everyone had that attitude we wouldn't ever have any juries. That might be a problem... Anyway, I didn't lie to get out of it or anything, I was just honest. Cheers to being honest!
So, while I was waiting to see if I was going to get called to a court room, I was dozing leaning on my hand and apparently I had fallen asleep because the lady announced something on the loud speaker and I just about jumped out of my skin! It scared me awake! When I got up to go upstairs to my court room the hall for the elevators was crazy packed so I decided to take the stairs... four flights! I was slightly pooped when I got to the top. It was exciting! :)
This was the closest I have ever been to being on a jury. I was in the first seat of the back row (you know, not the people they question in the first round but the second set) and they dismissed half the jury just off the bat and filled in the seats with the other jurors. They picked a jury panel and then went on to pick alternates. I went up and sat in the jury box and answered all my questions to be an alternate... I made it out by the skin of my nose. :) They dismissed me! Which I was thankful, if I was going to be on a jury I would want to actually want to be on the jury not an alternate. Then I got to go home, and here you find me, as I mentioned at the beginning of the post, I am eating lunch! :)
Funny side note, one of the people was named Lipshits... sucks to be him!
Somehow seeing you type a curse word is worse than hearing you actually say it. I've never even been called in for interviews during jury duty. I do want to be selected once as I think it would be a neat experience. I would always wear a moustache and dress like old timey Sherlock Holmes, occasionally hoping out of the stand to question the witnesses. Spoiler alert: The judge ends up as the guilty one.
ReplyDeleteHAHA...that name is hilarious.
ReplyDeleteI get out of jury duty every time. It's getting harder to be excused though. They actually verify what you tell them now. But now that I'm breastfeeding, I can postone a year at a time, as long as I'm breastfeeding. So I guess it'll come to an end eventually. hehe
I guess Gwen was logged into her email. hehe. (from Jess)
ReplyDeleteI didn't say or type a bad word! It's a name... different! :) Justin - I think that you should do that, except they probly wouldn't pick you to be in a jury if you dressed like Sherlock Holmes! :)
ReplyDeleteJess, all you have to say is that you are the primary care giver and it would cause hardship if you were to serve. I was gonna say... Gwen probly shouldn't read this! :)
Yeah, Gwen shouldn't read this because this is SO not a PG rated blog. Well it was until you wrote that curse word. For shame, Mrs. Denniston. For shame.
ReplyDeleteI never knew Jessica could postone. Interesting. And Jessica, nice job getting out of the one public service that is required of you. Do you hate America? Terrorist.
Hehe!
ReplyDeleteHEH! I tried primary caregiver! They made me give more info! So then when I said I was breastfeeding, they told me I could postpone 12 mos.
ReplyDeletejustin, I will do everything in my power to NOT do my civic duty. Thankyouverymuch!
