November 5
Not only is today my best friend’s birthday but it is also Guy Fawkes Day in England. The History Channel has a neat little blurb of what Guy Fawkes Day is all about. To sum it all up into a simple sentence for those who don’t wish to click through to the History Channel’s website and read all that stuff there… Guy Fawkes is an evil Catholic terrorist from the 1600’s.
Today I had to show up for jury duty. I went in at 9:30 and sat for two hours bored out of my mind. Finally at about 11:45am we were lead to a court room where we went up in groups of 14 and told some background about ourselves to get chosen for a jury on a criminal case about guns. I’m not sure exactly what the charges were but I’m pretty sure it had something to do with selling guns to criminals or something about falsifying documents in regards to the sales of guns. I was not selected. I think my mentioning that I know three people who work in law enforcement helped me get out of being chosen. I’m glad cuz I was hoping for a more exciting case than that one. I’m free from jury duty tomorrow but I’ve got to call tomorrow night for Thursday. So it’s off to the work house for me tomorrow. Bah!
Well… that’s it for now. I’m getting kinda sneezy and I have to call the office to tell them I’ll be there tomorrow.
