Strays
Sometimes it can feel so good to walk away from the straight and narrow path. It can be good to be a stray.
We're all just numbers
To our government. I went to the "Hall of Justice" today because I got a summons for jury pool. So I'm effectively on call for the next two weeks. The pay bites. $12.50/day that you're there. I did the math, and if you go for eight hours, you get roughly $1.56/hr. If the Federal Minimum Wage is somewhere around $5.15, how can they legally do that? Well whatever, if I don't go I get jail time.

I'm juror #132060 in group 100. They told us that we would probably watch several trials and stuff. So not only are we numbers, we can be recycled. Yay!

I hate the government. I can't remember who says it but "The only thing worse than anarchy is government."

I'm sorry, but.

That's going on my list of reasons I never want to be an adult{18+!}. ;-; I'm sorry being an adult to the government sucks a**.

Nothing you can do about it, and you'll be there sooner than you think. wink

But seriously, all I've done this week is drive downtown and sit on my a** for several hours before they tell us we weren't needed and let us go home.
