Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self. - Cyril Connolly

And we find the defendant.....
Guess I'll never know. They tossed me back. The quiet room was packed, so now I'm stuck on the second and a half floor of the courthouse in a waiting room crammed in under the rafters with about 250 people watching "Hitch". This is one of the longest days of my life.....
The case I was sent to was an Appeals case for a Worker's Comp. claim by a metermaid who was appealing a denial of a back injury claim against the Mayor's office. Interestingly, they ultimately chose 6 women (3 black, 3 white) and one black alternate male juror. I have no idea why they didn't choose me, but I'm certainly happy to be a reject in this case. Could have simply been a numbers game.
Why they are keeping us at 2:45, when we are supposed to be dismissed at 4:30 is beyond me.
And in other news - I slept like a ROCK on the new mattress last night. Best $$$ I ever spent. I may have to get cable in the bedroom......
