Day 2.
I arrive with seven other jurors and am proud that I am doing my civic duty and will be getting paid $40.00 a day to do so. It’s hard to get the sarcastic feel across on a computer screen- as a result of this newly bestowed job from hell I have canceled a private coaching and am unable to go to yoga class. Yes. I. am. cranky.
We sit around from 9:30am-12noon-ish and we are released for the day. A total waste of time. Something about one of the lawyers being ill. Did he just get sick? Was he suddenly struck with a bad case of encephalitis? WHY have we sat around for an entire morning and nothing got done? Yeah, this is the part where I realize that I don’t like my time being wasted.
Right. Retail therapy! I head to Macy’s.
Why Macy’s? That’s where we (Bryan and myself) are registered for our Wedding! Yay, something positive! I need to add gifts to our registry, and the best kind of retail therapy is the kind where you don’t actually buy anything, but zap anything your heart desires with this cool price gun that magically puts it all on your registry for people to buy for you! Fantastic!
The zapping got out all of my aggression with the court system and I ended up sitting with a cappucino in “The Cellar” portion of Macy’s.
Even if you’re not getting married, I highly recommend the price gun. Excellent for anger management!
A great ending to a wasted day…
Stay tuned.

I think they should hand them out as part of therapy once you’ve been released from jury duty…
