Ass Kickin’

Posted on February 8, 2013February 8, 2013 by Jacky Hackett

Today was my sixth day of jury duty, it is kicking my ass!  So tiring, both physically and mentally.  Late nights too, and then work on top of it. The experience is so educational, so at least there is that.  But spending your day in going from jury box to a 18 x 24 room with 15 strangers is a challenge to say the least.

Is it wrong I took the last cranberry juice from the jury room tonight so that I could make a much needed cosmo when I got home? Objection! Sustained, you may not answer that question.

I really need these two days to decompress before resuming to my civic duty next week.

    ugggh really? I don’t think it is bad at all that you took the cranberry juice 🙂 Luckily my last jury duty was cancelled!

    Thanks Jane, I consider it my weekend bonus on top of the $17.20 they pay each day.

    Ugh. Just the thought of jury duty gives me the shudders. Of course you needed the cranberry juice! A woman needs her cosmo! 🙂

    I had no idea you were there so long! I was on 2 jury’s – one lasted 2 days and the other 3 and I thought 3 days was insane!
