Jury duty

Well, I am kinda upset at my wife. Okay, I am upset at myself, as well. You see, I got a jury summons in the mail in Texas. I told her to to forward it to me. I noticedthat it still had not arrived as of yesterday so I asked her if she had sent it. Unfortunately, it seems to have slipped her mind. Well, I asked her to tell me when I needed to appear. It turns out that I am suppossed to be there the day after tomorrow.

Crap.

I rescheduled it for January (maybe I can get out of a few days of surgery scut), but I am upset because it would have been an excellent reason for me to just work my butt off for the first three weeks of the month, and then effectively take a vacation while I tend to "jury duty." Dammit! I could've spent a whole week in Texas had I known! Well, I guess I will just have to settle for the weekend trip, and hope that I can somehow wrangle the time out later.

sigh.
