Good news/bad news

Posted by on

Yesterday’s mail brought one of those lovely items which starts out:
“You are hereby summoned by the FIRST CIRCUIT COURT, State of Hawaii to appear for JURY SERVICE.”
This is not the first time. It’s a different court this time (hey, maybe parking is better than the other time!), but still….twice in ten years?
On the bright side, I took the beastie in to have her stitches removed this morning. She’s getting much better about hopping into cars without prodding.

  1. Glad to see you back up. Hey, jury duty? Aren’t you not eligible due to your current employment status? Anyone who’s freelance/self-employed gets dismissed….I’m pretty sure. I got duty two years in a row in L.A. and got out of it both times.

  2. Hi Stevie,
    Jury duty ?
    Pretty sure they choose you twice, cause they need clever Eeyores !!
    Glad Tigger is fine now.
    Site “hacking” problems totally resolved now ?
    00 Did you know that Bette works for a “thermal paper” Company ? (grins)

  3. Couldn’t resist !
    “Jury Duty”
    by Supertones
    from their 2000 album, Loud and Clear
    5 am on Tuesday
    why am I up so early
    drive out to Santa Ana ’cause I’ve got jury duty
    no breakfast short tempered
    and I cut my head shaving
    ten miles out I hit traffic
    some days just aren’t worth saving
    You know I haven’t had the best of days
    But I want to stop and thank You anyway
    At the courthouse I waited
    And waited then I waited
    At lunchtime my car stalled out
    I couldn’t get it started
    Had a book by C.S. Lewis
    I finished the last page and
    Slept on my desk for three hours
    Just like my high school days
    You know I haven’t had the best of days
    But I want to stop and thank You anyway
    Cuz every single moment whether sleeping or awake
    Is You creation
    At what You’ve made is good
    I don’t always thank for you for the rough days and
    the hard times in my life
    even though I should
    Got home and decided I’d be in a bad mood and
    My shy and quiet wife said she didn’t like my attitude
    Got a call from my mother
    Forgot my sister’s birthday
    I’m a lousy older brother safe to say I’ve had a bad day

  4. Different localities, different rules. Last time I was on a jury, I was unemployed. They didn’t care; in fact, they thought it was great…I couldn’t whine about missing work and all the things I should have been doing.
