My life in limbo.
I don't know if I'll be writing tomorrow. The jury is still out (ha!) on if I am chosen for the jury panel.
Today has been horrible. I can deal with waiting in a jury lounge all day; I can not deal with waiting consumed by my thoughts in a jury lounge all day. I spent the entire day trying to read a book to take my mind off of all that is going on.
And I still don't fucking know. All 64 of us have to go back tomorrow. Not one decision was made.
Will I go to Ohio and work with the dems? Will they still need me if I can't tell them for another couple of days? I'm filled with guilt that I can't say "yes" or "no"; mostly because I know I am a good resource for what they need. And, of course, I want to help!
Again, don't get me wrong... blah blah blah... I take the jury... blah... seriously. Even if they really did waste 64 people's day, and even if they apologized profusely, it still made me no closer to an answer. I go back in tomorrow morning.

Super, my husband is having a similar problem with jury duty. Only instead of being excited about it he is trying to figure ways out of it. Which really he has a good reason. He just got a new job, and he doesnt want to mess it up. If he knows what's good for him he wont mess it up. lol. Well, I just really wanted to say that I love reading your blog. I keep telling everyone I know about it. I may even mention it on myspace if you dont care. Well, I have to go put my kids down for a nap. c ya.
Ladymourninglory.
Whoooooaaaahhhh, nelly! Did I say I was EXCITED? No no no... The Process excites me; 14 weeks of jury duty does not excite me. I just hope if I am ever on the other side of the table, people will take it as seriously as I do.
And THANK YOU for the kind words!
