Jury Selection

Today, I had jury duty. Luckily, we did not have to report until 10 AM which allowed me to get plenty of sleep and play around the house in the morning. That is always a fun thing for me. Well, I am currently juror #7 in the jury selection process. We will know by tomorrow the complete jury and 2 alternates. I hope to get selected. The entire process is supposed to last through next week.

It is interesting the types of questions that you are asked. Most people say that they will be impartial to the attorneys and to the defendant. There were a few that were dismissed because of prior experiences. I sat there wondering if I could be 100% impartial. I think that it would be a lie for most people to say that they are.

I saw myself looking at the prosecution attorney who had a nose brace on in the morning. Did she have a nose job? I looked at the defense attorney. He's cute. I wonder if that makes me impartial. The other fact is that the prosecution is being run by a law student. How serious are they taking this case? Interesting.

Anyway, I met a women who happens to live in my city who is of the selection pool. I ended up driving her to where her car was as it was on my way home. I am always quick to offer convenience to others even if they are strangers. I have been told that I trust too easily. I think that my intuition is pretty strong and allows me to stay out of harms way. I like how quickly I connect with good people.

I am having dinner with Matt tonight before my last softball game which is at 9 PM. I am happy to have Matt see me in action. Hopefully, I have my best game yet. LOL

Eating today has been relatively good. I did get a dulce de leche latte from Starbucks. I had to laugh that my Vietnamese lunch cost me $4.50 and that the coffee cost $3.15. What is wrong with that picture?! LOL

I also stopped in to not one, but two Chinese bakeries during our lunch break. The first bakery didn't have the coconut bread that I love. For four items, my total was $1.90. If I am ever down and out, I will be eating well in Chinatown. LOL
