Jury Duty...a Blessing in Disguise...

Well, I finally served that day of jury duty -after getting it delayed due to the fact I had to read my script and give the IQ test at school. I can't believe that I'm now looking at it as a blessing in disguise. I went and spent my day in the jury room and was never called for a case. I managed to catch up on all kinds of teacher homework and paperwork that I had been hauling in my bookbag for weeks. I actually feel like the mountain of stuff to do has been lifted off. Of course, the other shoe may drop tomorrow and a bunch of new stuff could appear - but right now, I'm at the point of only needing to file some things and do next week's lesson plans. I can't remember how long it's been since I've felt caught up - it's an amazing feeling. So, I guess my day sitting in that room wasn't wasted. If anything, I at least helped the lady sitting there with me who took charge to get the sitcom rerun channel switched to Oprah...I voiced my support when she asked who wanted to see Oprah. It was a mini-revolution in the jury room - LOL.
