Jury duty!

Woke up at 5:30am to get down here in time. Yes, Colorado traffics is this bad. Now I'm sitting in a nearly empty room waiting for this show to start at 8:30a.

I somehow doubt I will enjoy this. I had caffeine this morning for the first time in a week and I can already feel the headache coming.

The room has filled out but its not 100% full. I'll decide if I want to sit on the jury after seeing what it is.

I never get called, ever. I got called once back in 2002 and they've never called me back. I must have been blackballed. I don't even know what I said for that to happen. I actually wouldn't mind serving my duty once in awhile, but I don't think they'll ever call me back. Hmph. 
Sorry it's a bummer, but the truth is, they need someone practical, rational, and intelligent like you. If I was on trial, I'd want someone like you in my jury. No shit.

Did you get picked? I've only had jury duty once & they didn't pick me for the case. My mom actually got jury duty twice in one month back home in South Dakota recently, thought that was weird.

No, April Benney. In fact, after they called the first twenty names or so they released the rest of us. I guess there weren't enough cases being tried.

This was my third time with jury duty and the quickest I ever got out. The first time I was picked to sit on a jury and made it to opening arguments before the judge called a mistrial. The second, I didn't make it past the jury questioning. This time I didn't make it to a court room. 

If that pattern keeps going, I'll never do jury duty again.

Lol well not having to do jury duty again isn't always a bad thing! It's nice to "do your part", but monetarily it's not worth the cost if you have to miss work for it.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me. Am I the only one who thinks so? So far I have only blocked

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
