Jury duty sucked! Wasted over half my day, then they hurt my feelings and didn't pick me! During jury selection they were asking questions about if we had been involved in a law suit, if so were we the plaintiff or defendant. I responded I had played both sides of the ball. They inquired as to the outcome of the litigation. I responded that the outcome of the litigation was a very serious dislike for attorneys. The defendant's attorney was a little shocked and asked if it was plaintiff's attorneys or defendant's attorneys or all attorneys. I responded, "All attorneys". Then it was pointed out that judges were attorneys and I responded that judges were indeed attorneys who like to play dress up and wear long flowing gowns. Needless to say, it was very funny. Everyone was laughing. Except me when they didn't pick me. The other event at jury selection was being seated in draw order I was seated by a woman who was rather large. She made me feel about normal people size. This lady sat in her seat and in my lap (overflow). About midway through the selection process my neighbor got extremely squirmy and then a barrage of small smelly farts began permeating the area. I thought I was going to be ASSphixiated! Seven dollars just wasn't enough pay for my day! My biggest complaint concerns the courthouse security. Give a guy a uniform and a badge and he is important. I have never seen such over kill in all my life. And rude? Don't get me started. As prospective jurors we were instructed to use a particular entrance at the courthouse. There was a back log of us waiting as a guard had left his post. In the past we had been given a token, or pass giving us passage around courthouse security. However, yesterday we were allowed inside through the assigned entrance on our initial visit only. They told us at the first break that if we had a pocket knife, pepper spray, or other items that might be revealed through the courthouse metal detectors we needed to take them to our vehicles before we went upstairs. We were told these items would be confiscated and would not be returned. I didn't have any such items, but many did. When they exited through the special juror door, they had no idea they would not be allowed back in. That meant they had to walk complete around the courthouse to reach the only entrance they were using for public access. I am hopeful today that I will get the little wildman truck drive changed over to his old truck. All along our plan had been for the switch today. He began having an issue yesterday with his current truck. Although I had told him I was in jury duty I had repeated calls from him. I had texted him reminding him where I was. During a break I talked with K.O. and he was telling me he had talked with the driver and made me aware of the truck issue and that it was not anything that would prevent him from returning from Fort Worth. By the time the little wildman got to Abilene, he had changed his tune and was running his mouth. He had made some statements and was taken out of the dispatch rotation for today and then was upset about it. Of course is kind of his MO. To have dealt with the existing issue would have taken maybe an hour. As it turns out, he turned down a Sunday cross dock, did a Ab-FW;FW-Ab, then turned down a Monday cross dock and got himself taken out of the Tuesday rotation. All the sudden he is thinking of his wallet and wants to blame someone else. Yesterday, shortly after being released from jury duty, I began working on registration for the truck I plan on putting the driver in. I had given K.O. the VIN # and requested an insurance card and lease. As of this morning I have received neither. Hey, don't handcuff me! My day looks something like this. IRS to pay 2290 for the truck that has been down since February 16, 2010. Registration for same. Go to Roscoe. Put signage on truck. Charge Air conditioner. Get annual inspection on truck. Swap trucks out! My friend DMS is in Las Vegas! Contrary to rumors, she is not trying out to be a "Vegas Showgirl". She is actually on a 35th wedding anniversary jaunt with her man! Congratulations! By the way, I keep looking at my phone. I sent $10 with her and told her to make me rich! LOL! Well, even though I am killing time until governmental offices open, I had better get my day going! By the way. Three weeks ago I told Kyle Brown the UConn would win the NCAA men's basketball title! Although I was pulling for Butler, I sure like being right! Problem was I was not confident enough to put down a wager! heh, heh! Have a day! FATHER, I need you to take over and manage my time, manage my affairs, manage me! Pace me. Instill in me YOUR perfect peace! I pray for patience.
