Dang it. I have jury duty tomorrow. I thought I would have made it through the week without being called in. But no such luck.
They really should let people opt out of jury duty if they really don't want to serve. Do you really want to leave justice in the hands of people like me, who would rather be daydreaming about lunch and the previous night's So You Think You Can Dance performances? Besides, I am the type of person who dislike people just because. No reason needed. Of course I am prejudiced. Not by race or gender or sexual orientation or age or any of the usual stuff. I just get a vibe and go with it for the most part. Why do you think I avoid Matthew McConaughey or Anne Hathaway movies? Just because.
Well here is hoping that they won't end up putting me in the jury box. If there is ever a time to put out that leave-me-the-hell-alone vibe (which I think I naturally emit, because no stranger ever talks to me out of the blue), it's tomorrow.
Oh one more thing - there was an earthquake the other night. Hayward fault. And word is any day now, we are gonna get a big one. Crap. If there is anything in life that I fear on a regular basis, it's earthquakes. Sure I fear a lot of other things like flying and dying in poverty, but I think those other things are largely avoidable. The big one is really not.
So what I need tonight is to pray to the Jury God and the Earthquake God. You guys, please leave me the hell alone. Please do me this solid.
