My Jury Day adventure.
As some of you know, I work at night. When I got off this morning (of work, you pervs), I drove through downtown Austin traffic which sucks to begin with. I found parking and waited 2 hrs before the court opened. Luckily Young Turks and Sam Seder kept me company. Got lots of homework done. We finally got to roll call and the bailiffs stated that one person was wanting a trial by jury (damn you criminal). However the judge came in, thanked us, and sent us on our way with our $6 (I donated mine to the Travis County Child Protective Services). That criminal was lucky, I would have given him Ol' Sparky...da bastard...for keeping me up so damn late!

Okay, all is well again.
