Jury Duty

 "Don't ruin a good day by thinking about a bad yesterday."

~ Zig Ziglar

I was truly looking forward to returning to a normal work week schedule for the first time in what seems like months. No holidays. No school closings. No cancellations of the County bus.Just my plain old boring work week. Then I remembered that I ave jury duty on Monday. Well isn't that special!

I know, it's my civic duty blah,blah, blah.....What it is is a supreme waste of my time and a major disruption and inconvenience to me.Does any one get excited when they get that notice in the mail that they have jury duty?I contend that if you do, you my want to start reading some personal growth books or take a few courses at your local adult school. anything that may help to broaden your social life!The worst part is they send you the notice months in advance so it hangs like a spector, a grey cloud over your head forever. You circle the date on your calendar,first in red the in black.Who needs this interruption in their routine? In 1973 the U.S. ended the draft. Somehow,we still have an army.It's a volunteer oneand is doing just fine. why can't we have a volunteer jury pool. I would volunteer on my day off. I'm sure that others would do the same. I think if promoted properly, people would step up and do the right thing.But no,here's government getting in the way once again. Why not open the courts on the weekends when most people have a day off?Heavens no, that would never happen!

I am so looking forward to being herded like cattle, shepherded from room to room,cut of from the outside world for what?Oh right, to fulfill my civic duty.

If you haven't figured it out by now,I'm not a fan of the whole jury duty thing.

Talk about your basic eat the frog day.

Yichhhhhhhhhhhh!

Shabbat Shalom!
