Jury. Duty.

One day I will be a consistent blogger. ONE DAY.

And I know that in the last post I said I would be updating about my journey to spiritual health....it's totally coming. And my journey is going quite well! But we have more pressing issues to attend to.....

It has come to my attention that a good majority of my friends have been summoned for jury duty at one point or another. I however, have received no such summons.

I know what you're thinking: who WANTS jury duty?! How boring!!!

But seriously, I look forward to the day I am called upon to serve our justice system and carry out my civic duty. I. Am. Waiting.

I know I would be great. I would be fair and just and I wouldn't judge a book by it's cover!!

And I'm aware that I would most likely not be put on some high profile case. BUT if I were, I would rock at it. And even if it were a smaller, modest case, I would still rock at it.

So this brings me to a lingering question: Have I been deemed unsuitable to serve on a jury?!!!!!!!!

I don't know how this could be possible.

Unless they some how found out that I have an extreme obsession with all things Disney and that is far too childish a thing. But how could they know that!???

The tons of pictures I have on Facebook that display my love for Disney?

My many posts on Disney discussion boards??
The letter I wrote to Mickey and Minnie asking them to attend my wedding? (Ok, I didn't actually send this letter. But I thought about it.)

No. They couldn't know any of those things. Right?

Or maybe they're aware of my fascination with conspiracy theories and the government has labeled me as a Public Enemy for having far too much knowledge.

That's probably it.

I just want my chance!

I'm truly interested in the inner workings of a court room.

So I ask again: WHAT'S the deal??????? Why are my skills going unnoticed?!!!

Those skills are as follows: a good listener, an excellent judge of character, a track record of having driven for 5 hours without needing to go the bathroom, never being able to make a decision without considering all the facts/options, the highly desired skill of being able to look at leftover meals and pick the correct size tupperware container on the first try (I know this skill will come in handy one day.)

I'll be waiting for my letter informing me that I've been chosen for the honor of serving on a jury. Until then, my brilliant sister Candice has given me an upside to having not yet been chosen:

Candice's reasons why not being chosen for jury duty is perfectly ok:

1.       You only make $40 a day.
2.       You don’t get insurance. (if you were to become a career jury person, it's a problem)
3.       The food could really suck.
4.       You are stuck with the same people in a room for what could be a long time.
5.       You can’t talk about or watch anything related to the case.
6.       The people you are with could smell and you can’t do anything about it.
7.       Your butt could get very tired from sitting in a chair for so long and cause nerve damage, but since they don’t provide insurance so sorry charley!
8.       It is not fun.
9.       Should you get a high profile case and your verdict is guilty then you could become a target of the accused and have to join the witness protection program, move to Falls City, Nebraska and take on the name Bobbi Jo Brunswick and never talk to your family again.
10.   Should you get a high profile case and your verdict is innocent then you could become a target of those who feel robbed of justice and have to join the witness protection program, move to Mexico (where I am sure you would fit in with your short stature and nice tan) and take on the name of Maria Gomez and never talk to your family again.
