so i "finished" my jury duty for this week. i never actually went in, but was just on call for this week. strange because i thought that the way it was organized that you always had to go in at least one week. so i was dreading not getting called in each day because that meant i would have to drive downtown and face all that traffic on a friday. blech. BUT.. i don't have to go in at all.. i just called they said that "i have completed my service" interesting.

and as elated i am about not going in, i am a little sad too. sad that i don't get to miss a day of work without needing to use my sick or vacation days... but also i've always been a little fascinated with this whole jury duty thing. i feel like it's my civic duty or something and that it might be really interesting to be on a trial. although it is a lot of pressure to be deciding the fate of someone when you don't really know the whole truth... that's tough. but i guess that's the job. i've been summoned for jury duty twice. the first time was almost right after i graduated. it was in torrance, so pretty easy, and i just sat in the holding tank room all day, slept, and then got let out early.. like 3 or so. it was a friday too, but since i was in torrance, not as dreadful. this time.. i just called everyday, and finally was told i didn't have to report. i wasn't too keen on the drive to downtown.. but i was kind of intrigued to see if the downtown courthouse was any more spectacular. like.. where you have that aw and respect for the building and the purpose that it serves. geek.. i know. thanks.

i'm so tired.
i'm so braindead.
i can't work.
i can't think.
how am i ever going to crank 2 videos out in less than 2 weeks?
and then another one in a week and a half after that.
impossible.
