Felt like crap all weekend
Mar. 6th, 2006 09:34 amI'd planned to get together with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
finickynarcane one of the nights, but I was deep in an exhausted stupor all weekend. I was to achy to sleep a long stretch and that's what I needed to do. So I'm still not feeling wonderful. Bleh.
This week I'm on Jury Duty with the Superior Court. Oh goody. I'll have my books and case study with me to work on if I have to go in. My number is a low one, so chances are I'll have to go sometime.
I'll probably get off due to school, but we'll see. Eric has jury duty next week I think. Or is it next month? Superior court for him, too. We laughed about being on the same jury. He said, "Then we could talk about it!"
I was saying that to an acquaintance at school last week and he said, "Like anyone really doesn't talk about it."
I looked at him in shock and told him, "They're serious about that. You're really not supposed to talk about it until it's over."
"Yeah, but nobody listens to that."
"Well, I do and my husband does. You could jeopardize the trial by talking about it."
He blew me off. So I told him the next time he serves, he really should let them know he can't keep from talking about it so he shouldn't sit on a jury.
Man, are Eric and I the only ones who follow the rules? That just seems crazy to me. These trials cost the taxpayers so much and can so easily be thrown out and started over if someone blows the confidentiality of the jury box.
When Eric was on a jury a few years ago, we didn't watch the news just in case his trial was mentioned. He kept saying it was really interesting and he wished he could tell me about it, but he held off until the trial was over. It was very interesting. It was about a coroner who was accused of falsifying records about an accident that happened an hour's drive from the coroner's office. The key facts about the time he wrote on the report and when it was actually written were based upon the amount of rigor mortis the victims in the cars were in when he wrote them up. So now, Eric is an expert about rigor mortis.
Does that gross you out? It doesn't me. After working for years in the x-ray department right next to the Emergency while I went to night school the first time, I saw lots of dead bodies in the trauma rooms over the years. They don't look like people to me anymore. The person they were is gone. I even had a tour of the morgue once. Chilly but not scary.
Anyway, my apologies tofinickynarcane for not even calling. That was rude of me. There's no excuse I can give other than being out of it mentally. I didn't get anything done I wanted to get done this weekend.
