So I got my sorry and sick ass out to court today in the freezing cold, found the best seat in the house (right next to an outlet so that I can plug my trusty notebook in), and began multi-tasking.  There I was, going back and forth between watching an episode of Scrubs, watching a lecture presentation for school, jotting down notes, emailing my coworkers and texting my friends… I never felt more productive!!!  I was a madwoman, furiously tabbing between websites, typing furiously away at the keyboard when 3 hours had passed and the wannabe-cool-with-the-peeps-yet-tough cop announced that all the cases were resolved and there wasn’t a need for any more jurors - we were all released from jury duty for the next 6 years!!  WOOOOOOOOO! WOOOOOOOOO!  My god! All of us cheered and as our cop friend called our names to receive our receipt - we all hurriedly rushed to the front, waved to the rest of the people still waiting for their names to be called, did a little dance and bounced outta there.  It was like we were finally graduating from high school, but without the congratulations and I hope you make something out of yourself speech.  What a relief and a nice added bonus to be out for half a day.  Of course, being sick and all, I am spending it enclosed in yet another room (my bedroom) with my notebook, tabbing between windows, emailing friends, doing homework, watching Scrubs…….  hmmmm…..
