Hello all, well here's the story for the week. I got a summons to serve on the Grand Jury a couple of weeks ago. I was excited because it took me out of the house for a few days, and the pay was about $72 a day. Plus, where I had to go was close to home. so it was a win-win situation for me. On the day I got there, it was like 500 people there for the same thing, jury duty, and this was grand jury, no less. They said it would be 6 months of service on Tuesdays and Thursdays up until 2026. I was fine with that. But having to sit and wait all day was the pain. But I did meet some nice people, we talked and laughed and played games while we waited, which was fun. The day was nice, and it allowed us to sit outside for lunch, but here's the kicker part: they only needed 46 people but called 500. What the heck!!!! Why would you interrupt so many people's lives for an all-day event if you only needed that many people? Am I the crazy one or what?? So anyway, a lot of people got excused around 12:00 in the afternoon, and we started at 10:00 in the morning. They told the people who got out early to go back to work. Picture me going to work after going to the court and sitting around most of the morning. Anyway, the court picked the people they needed, and I wasn't one of them. I was bummed out that they didn't want me. That could have been a job for me, making extra money and hearing interesting cases to boot. Guess it wasn't my time to get picked.
Oh, well, that's my story, what do you think?
I forgot to say Happy October
