Jury Duty & Thoughts

I worked mucho overtime during the month of September to prepare for a lab move at work. When moving $1million+ worth of computer equipment, you can't be too prepared.

The lab move went off without a hitch. I receive kudos from several executives, the move company coordinator, and my managers. They even selected me as "Employee of the Month".

Due to the overtime, management recommended that I take the week of 10/20 - 10/24 off as comp time. Lo and behold, shortly thereafter, I received a letter from Henry County State Court kindly requesting my presence in the jury pool...for the week of 10/20 - 10/24.

Of course, I did my civic duty. I showed up and did what I could. I met several good people, and was able to help several people with computer problems. I even managed to read a semi-decent Stephen King novel Duma Key.

Due to a comedy of errors, my group managed to be held through Thursday. We were supposed to be called on Friday, too, but were released late Thursday afternoon.

Next Week: Time to get back to work.
