*grumble*grumble*grumble*
Mar. 16th, 2009 02:05 pmGot up at a quarter to six with an upset stomach, probably from last night's dinner. (I don't think the sausage was sitting well with me for some reason). Once all gastro-intestinal problems were sorted out, it was time to get up anyway.
Had breakfast, took a shower, went out to my car, started it, started to pull out of my parking space, and my car died. Repeated that process two more times before it finally started and STAYED that way.
Went to the gas station, put $20 worth of gas into my car, which surprisingly filled the tank. Not completely, but now the needle is hovering closer to Full than to Empty.
Drove to the county justice center. Parked my car.
Sheriff who just so happens to be driving by notices that my license plate tabs are expired. That's like, a $250 fine. >_< He asks why I'm at the justice center, and I inform him that I'm reporting for jury duty. Nice sheriff takes pity on me and doesn't give me a ticket, but tells me to get tabs renewed ASAP.
Get through security, go up to jury room, get checked in, read a book. Go through various orientations and welcomes. Am not selected for the first two batches of jurors. Am in pool for jurors at large. Fine, more time to read book. Jurors are numbered as roll call is taken. I am present and labeled as "32." More time passes, I stop reading, start designing my My Little Pony cosplay. Bailiff returns and informs everyone in my group (we were split into two groups) that the defendant has failed to show up for the trial and we are free for the rest of the week.
Still have to call in for the rest of the month.
I think the only thing that didn't suck about that was that I didn't get a ticket, and I'm done with jury duty for the rest of the week.
