Redemption 8/16/2006 2:26:36 PM
I have to tell you that I'm wiped out. From what you might ask since you know that I was only doing jury duty. Well that's exactly what wiped me out. Two days all day long sitting in a hard chair being treated like a kindergartner and at the last hour being taken to a courtroom for possible jury selection where I gave very truthful answers. Maybe I could not use sympathy in my decision and I'd try very hard if all of the evidence was beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant was guilty to vote guilty. The judge and lawyers went out and came back after asking all the other questions of the jury and I must confess I was dismissed. I must also confess that the judge reprimanded me on attempting to do his job. And I must tell you that before he begin his little dismissal speech he said when a juror was dismissed it had nothing to do with their answers. ( yeah right)
Was I trying as hard as I knew how to get dismissed? (OF course not) For the next two days I still have to call in. I was pretty sure when I called yeasterday they were going to tell me to keep my body at home. Now if they have relayed any information to their computer I will call in and be told "Don't bother.
But I actually felt kind of bad about getting kicked off or should I say not chosen. That was what I wanted right?
Okay, you're waiting to hear where the redemption part comes in right? Bill volunteered to go to court with me if I had to go today (Because they have you calling twice a day after five and at noon and if you call at noon and have to go you have to be there by 1:30. I told them I could only do one call a day but I had to talk to a human this morning to make sure I had a record of this. Oh and Bill was going to stay at court with me until I had to come home researhing the law libray. Now that's the way a hero should act.
Did I tell you that I told him I've been blogging about him and that I told you all that he took me up on the roof? He thinks it's so funny. He even said he should have had me mentally evaluated before we got married. WEll thirty six years later is too late buster.
Did I get any writing done? No. I was trying but found myself putting down question marks when it came to sexy parts because I didn't want anyone to see what I was writing so I just gave it up. So I've rested the entire day. It felt like I had been gone forever. My hubby was happy to have me home and I was happy to be home. Like I said when this started, I'm a creature of habit. I like being home with Bill. I like my house, my refrigrator, my computer, my not having to stand in line to go to the bathroom, my not being asked personal questions in a small room with thirty five other people listening. I also don't like being scolded by a judge for telling the truth. This is me sighing. Welcome home Dyanne.
