So, tomorrow, I report for jury duty for the second time in my life. I had it in Tulsa County in 2001 and I sat there all week from 8-3 and never was called for a jury. I've heard that in CLeveland County that if you're not called on Monday, you're off for the week. I like that system. I don't mind doing the duty...I just don't want to sit aimless for hours. I do have grading to do, but STILL. Stinky courtnouse basements aren't my idea of ambiance.
My other fear is getting on a jury that will last more than a week. This can happen since there's a couple of high profile murders in the county. I don't want my students to get that behind though they really wouldn't bc of course management systems like Blackboard, but when they course isn't set up from the beginning as a hybrid or an online class, it can screw up the students, especially in a high content course like Linguistics.
So, tomorrow I report for duty. And, it'll be like being part of a secret society...bc I won't be able to tell you, if I get ON a jury, what it's about, etc. until it's over. heh.
All is well here. Teaching is going well and the new office is nice. I still need to paint, put down a rug, and add a decent chair. Everything is pretty even on the homefront.
But, if you're like me, and a Rambo fan, you HAVE to go see the latest Rambo. It's about the genocide atrocities in Burma and besides the weak dialogue, it IS classic Rambo. It's bloody, but genocides usually are...but it's ultimately social commentary and Rambo finally confronts his inner demons. They lose.

You can't even tell us if you're on a jury? That's crazy. If you do get on, you'll have to take lots of notes. I'll want to know all the sordid details...unless it's like a traffic ticket or something boring.
Good luck.
Oh, I can tell you if I get ON a jury, just not WHICH one.
