Kwik-E-Mart and giving blood

26 07 2007

Today, I went down to the Bayarea’s Simpson’s inspired Kwik-E-Mart before it reverts back to a 7-11 at the end of the month. Tomorrow, I will see the Simpson’s movie with my wife courtesy of her work.

Later, I went to give blood for the first time but was later turned away do to my lack of good-sized veins to draw from.

things overheard while on jury duty

1-”If you were me, would I want you on the jury?” the plaintiff attorney to a prospective juror who was also a lawyer. His reply, ”No, I wouldn’t”

2-”I’m only 20 years old. I really don’t care about things like this. I’ll probably go with along with everyone else” on her questionare.

3-same juror: “I really don’t know anything. That could be a good thing for your client” to the defendant’s attorney.





….the 13th

13 07 2007

Today being Friday the 13th, I thought I’d be on a 3 week trial after the Judge not granting my “hardship” yesterday. As it were, being in the 2nd group of prospective jurors, I was excused by the defense (no less) on their 1st Peremptory Challenge. With this, I’ve now been to all three courthouses and have been apart of two trials and serving on one.

…and with him my old car and Sony laptop. He’s had it nearly a month now and has logged in 1795 miles including the drive up to and back from Eugene, OR. My Rabbit on the other hand, has rolled up just about 2100 miles.
