a description of the amazing and exciting adventures i have here in baltimore--- and other lies.

 
At least jury duty wasn't a complete waste of time. I got to study some chinese, practice writing same. Got $15 for my trouble, so I went to Quisnos (not to my taste, I like Blimpies better), got some lunch on the man's dime, and with the remainder bought a spanish grammar book. Quoth Viki: Al fino!

Sat in the room, didn't get called for a trial, went home. Then the next day my boss got mad at me for not leaving her a message reminding her (even though I told her, oh, maybe fifty times that I had jury duty tuesday) that I would not be at work, due to civic duty.

Because people don't pay attention to a goddam thing I say, the opinion was that, not having shown up to work,I had died, in a murderous attack.

Alas, no.
