Jury Duty

I ended up having to go to jury duty today. I had my fingers crossed when calling last night to check if my number had been selected, that it would not be, but it was. The security line was really ridiculous (think airport security). I did however end up recognizing three people today while at the judicial center – a lady I worked with at ITT, one of my dad’s former coworkers, and retired baseball player Goose Gossage. While it was boring, it could have been worse I suppose. I did end up finishing one book and starting another one. I also managed to escape going into the room for jury selection so I only was there for three hours. I was apprehensive about bringing my laptop because I was unsure if it would get confiscated but for those that are interested laptops are allowed.  I just don’t know if there is WiFi available or not.  I had a hard time going to work afterwards because it was 78 today but I had brought a change of clothes and there was really no sense in wasting time and going home to change just to get more sunshine.
