Money ain't a thang

Just the news I did not want to receive:

"You are scheduled to appear on Wednesday, 06/23/2004 at 8:00:00 AM. Please remember to bring your affidavit and your juror badge with you on your 06/23/2004 of appearance."

8:00 a.m....are you effin' kidding me?

Two years ago I served as an alternate (read:lacky idiot with no voice) on a jury in which wannabe gangsters counter-sued one another for not being tough enough.
For nine weeks I sat in a small, un-airconditioned room with my "peers."
That $15 a day the court paid really made it worth it though.

I think I'll tell the judge that nice civic story tomorrow.
