It happened again. I have been civically screwed. Prior to today I have served two jury duties, both with positive outcomes that relieved me at the lunch break. Despite the preview of Abraham’s bosom, it wasn’t that bad. I sat, I read, I thought, I stared, but mainly I waited. My name was changed to a number and the countdown commenced.
But now, in the middle of my third, in three years mind you, I have discovered why jury duty truly does suck. I now call in and listen to a pre-postal government employee on an answering machine listing off group numbers not grasping that I am a mere pawn in the palm of her hand. At least tell me a joke or a clever anecdote or even read a few pages of Harry Potter before you destroy me. Well, I dodged checkmate today. Now only 5 more days on the chess board.
