posted this at my other home away from home today...government blocks THERX for some reason....
Coming Atcha Live From Of All Things
jury freaking duty.....up in the crack of Dawn to report downtown to do "my civic duty" so to speak....what a crock of crap...got the notice about a month ago and wrote them to let them know ol' Buster has not exactly been a model citizen (if you know what i mean)
they informed me they did not care about my past and to come anyway...so here they have you call the night before to some automated verification thing,so i still had a shot to get out off it,but when i called the # last night i was informed to report....i felt sick to my stomach...
so i get up at 6:00am,never knew what that was like? i know what it feels to get home at that time,but not much experience with leaving home at that time(other than someone elses)
fight downtown traffic...took about 45 minutes to go my 12 or so miles....park about a mile from courthouse...walk into courthouse to see a line of about 200 people,took about 30 minutes to even get into jury doors....here in the lounge they had about 1 hours worth of what they call orientation,followed by some faeg movie called "the ultimate gift" finally around 11;30 they call first of 30 people to go meet the judge...of course i was not one of them so i got to finish the wonderful movie...movie over at noon,so then came the real treat!
FULL FREAKING HOUSE....was never so glad to get to 12:30....
12:30 comes and it's lunch time,so i walk the streets looking for something to eat,find some burger joint that just so happens to have flounder,so i splurge for a flounder dinner at a cost of 9.09...5 minutes till 2 i am due back so i walk the 6 or so blocks back and enjoy myself a few games of pinball in the jury arcade at a cost of 2.00....back in the assembly area now and they just called for 2 sets of 30 people...i once again was not included...
i just need to get into see the judge so i can tell him how stupid it is for me a "convicted felon" to even be considered a good juror...what kind of crap is that?then i am told that even if one judge rejects me i still have to stay,because another one may not reject me...
one of the sorriest days of my life...i wish i would have known sooner that they had these computers for us to use...you can bring laptops,cell phones in here,but i had no idea they would allow such....i tried getting on to some of my other sites,but they are blocked,by the government....but good ol' ******* is not..
i guess what pisses me off the most is knowing that i had to waste my gas and time coming down here when i know that there is not a prosecuting attorney in the world worth a damn that would accept a convicted felon as a juror....i am also pissed about the measly 12.00 i receive for spending 9 hours sitting in this room with 200 what look to be weirdos...hell i spent 8.00 in gas,9.00 for food and 2.00 for pinball...
I AM IN THE FREAKING HOLE 7.00 (american) AND STILL HAVE 2.5 HOURS TO SHOOT MORE PINBALL OR POOL....
you think i could find a sucker in here and win some money?
