Jury Duty

OK, today I was selected for a jury, a very simple civil trial which only lasted one day. It was actually interesting. Actually I don't mind jury duty, it's more the thought of it, seeming like it's taking time I need for something else, which isn't the case, it's just that mindset. Once I get there, I generally enjoy it because i find the legal system interesting, I guess I find being at the courthouse interesting, and Palm Beach County has a beautiful courthouse with views of the Intracoastal and ocean beyond - what more can you ask for? Plus, unlike Dade and Broward counties, the traffic getting there isn't a hassle. I even learned something interesting, when you are sued, you don't have to show up for court or respond to the notices, I never realized that, although I think failing to do so is a bit ignorant, but each to his own!

In some ways, I think I'm getting back to my old self, so perhaps I'm finally going to be able to sort of merge my old and my new lives and connect with who I am now. That would be great! It's nothing major, in fact this probably sounds very lame, but I've actually been polishing my fingernails for the last couple of weeks - it's been years since vie had polished nails, it makes me feel more like me! Crazy, huh? Well, time for me to turn in. Let's see what tomorrow brings.
