Day: December 7, 2012

Friday

I realized last night, right before going to bed, that I’d left my jury summons at the office. And while I had the phone number I needed to call, I didn’t have the nine-digit juror number I needed to check on my own personal status. I knew I probably wouldn’t have to report to Brooklyn this morning, but I couldn’t be sure. I am still on telephone standby for another week.

So I decided I’d go into work half an hour early. That way I could call from the office and, if need be, still have time to take the subway to Brooklyn for 8:30. Of course, I didn’t have to do that, just like I won’t have to report there on Monday, but I didn’t know that until after I’d made the call.

That was about the most exciting thing that happened to me today, though.
