I need a day off from work so bad, I am actually looking forward to Jury Duty Wednesday.

Is that bad? I just need a break from work, and weekends are not doing. I actually can not wait to go sit in a jury pool for the day.

8. I don't get picked.

I am not what defense attorney's like. I know to many in Law enforcement. I am taking my handheld Sudoku game.

11. Better check the rules

some jury pools don't allow any electronic devices. Unless your hand-held sudoku game is a book and pencil.

4. uh, what about next Monday?

I would have a hard time thinking of jury duty as a day off. On the other hand, Monday's my normal day off so I don't think I am getting a holiday this week either.
