10. The little asian lady who I originally sat next to, who told me the winner of “Dancing with the Stars” immediately after I had told her that I hadn’t watched last night’s results show yet, but I had Tivo-ed it and was looking forward to watching the finale tonight.
9. The middle aged white guy, who I sat next to after I first switched seats, made internal burping noises every couple of minutes until I moved again.
8. A start time of 8am in downtown Seattle.
7. Only getting paid $10 a day… (however its better than what I currently make..)
6. Paying $18 a day to park my car downtown.
5. Having to wear the dorky “JUROR” tags all day, even if we left the courthouse for lunch. (In case attorneys or judges were lunching at the same restauraunt, so they can avoid you.)
4. The 6th grade social studies video that they made us watch on the judicial system. It was complete with definitions of “juror” and “defendant” and over use of the phrase “checks and balances”. I was just waiting for a little cartoon of the US constitution to show up and start singing some song about checks and balances… which would then be followed by a rendition of Conjunction Junction.
3. Being confined in a room with 300 annoying strangers for an entire day.
2. Access to 8 vending machines which only accept quarters and a change machine that is broken.
1. The fact that King County has a 2 day Jury Duty requirement, meaning I gotta be back there tomorrow morning, bright and early.
The one upside is that the Seattle courthouse has free Wi-Fi! Guess who’s bringing their MacBook with them tomorrow? I kinda want to bring an inappropriate movie with me to watch while I sit next to that damn lady who ruined my “Dancing with the Stars” surprise. Any ideas?
Man bites dog.
That sucks! People are weird.
That is so weird…that she would tell you after you told her that you were looking forward to seeing it that evening. Perhaps she didn’t realize that half the fun for most people is the suspense? hahaha Well at least your hottie speed-skating lover won!
Fin – Nice to meetcha. Thanks for commenting!
Kristin – Yeah, she was a real wack job. I’m very glad that my spandex clad hottie won.
The Sex in the City episode where Carrie has jury duty was on last night. It would have been funny if the burping middle aged man kept pulling various tropical fruits out of his briefcase.
And as much as your two days sucked…at least Devon didn’t divorce you on a Post-It afterwards.
