Hello Fellow Travelers!
I was going to post my recent summons to Jury Duty and my letter from my oncologist stating how handicapped and entirely incapable I am of being impaneled on a jury of my peers, but my PS has me thinking I might be shirking a responsibility by being disabled. I find it ridiculous that I'm so unbelievably impaired yet called upon for random civil service selections. The odd thing is, under normal circumstances I'd be a heck of a juror, I pay attention to detail I don't judge people and above all I like a good story, no matter how convoluted.
I can't walk, speak or sign my name, so right now, extrapolating relevant evidence in a court proceeding sounds way beyond me.
My PS says that Jury Duty is a civic responsibility, like voting, which I do in every election because you can't complain if you don't vote and you know how I love to complain!
I don't think anyone gets cancer so they can avoid a jury summons. I'd be thrilled to serve as a juror the rest of my life if that meant I wouldn't have a brain tumor! I would have been happy to hear an actual case anyway!
My PS says I am too biased and would be summarily discharged by either side. Maybe. I don't believe I'm biased, it's just when I can see how a story is going to turn out (and let's face it; most real-life stories are fairly predictable) I move on.
I've been working hard every day to be physically prepared for any new calamity; tanks? Check. Nuclear War? Got it! Jury Duty? WTH?!
Jury Duty? Really? Come On!
I've been working feverishly for life in a post-apocalyptic society, so to receive a summons to be waiting around a courthouse is beyond funny to me, or would be!
I can't even do that!
I mean what's next? (Insert snarky comparison here) Because I'd be happy to do it! Whatever "it" is! Thrilled, even. If I could, which I can't.
But what I can do is go to the gym. What I will do is strengthen my spine.
I'll take inspiration anywhere I can find it. A jury summons is as good a source as any!
