I have jury duty next week. This could not come at a worse time. So many reasons why this is bad. First of all we are just too short staffed for one person to leave for an undetermined time. I don’t want to leave. I want to do my job. Then there is the fact that this is a holiday week. July 4th. Families out shopping with their kids, freshly out of school. Add on top of that the fact that next weekend we have a major event going on for our new show. We only do two or three big events a year. Yeah, this next one just happens to be now. If that weren’t bad enough, the district manager is going to be at our store for the whole event. Probably will Swing us too. Dammit!

On the plus side the holiday may work in my favor. No government building will be open on a holiday. And the fact that most people will be traveling might cause them to tell me that I’m left off the hook. And don’t think I won’t use the fact that we are understaffed to try and get out of it. Those bastards will know that they don’t want me on their jury.

Just ‘cause that all wasn’t bad enough, I need a haircut and an oil change for my car. I have no idea when to schedule those. I need them ASAP though. Grrr.
