I started this new year on a good note, with family. Sadly, the harsh reality sunk in. I have JURY DUTY tomorrow. It really sucks because I had to postpone my duties prior (twice) for very important reasons. I was "granted" the two postponements only to have the court move it to this Monday.
I'm really irritated about it because I wanted to be there at the first day of school to get to know my students, or I thought I was going to. I was wrong- the court requested my attendance this Monday (and from what I read online, a missed duty is an automatic warrant for arrest-because that's logical reasoning)
That makes no sense whatsoever. I feel that I'm being punished for someone's criminal/alleged criminal activity (say no to drugs, kids). Jury duty should be optional for school staff (won't they think of the children?!)
Okay, enough sarcasm...we'll see how this goes tomorrow.
Random though: I wonder if this is karma for my December 16th educational post on mullets?
