. . . for the indefinite future!!!

I've been put on a jury. Bleh. We all had to file into a tiny room for "recess." I was trying to blend into the wall--don't look at anyone, no small-talk. I don't like confrontation and getting involved in people's lives, which one of the two inevitably happens if I make eye contact.

Anywho--somehow the conversations gets on cyclists. Everyone in the room immediately chimes in and gets animated about how obnoxious cyclists are riding on the road. And mockingly saying "it's the law! share the road!"

I just couldn't take it. I had to open my mouth. Do they really want a person going over 20mph on the same sidewalk as their kids play on? Where they walk their dog? Where there would be little to no visibility for cars pulling out of driveways at that speed? The room got very quiet.

And I'll be commuting by bike for the rest of my jury service. Perhaps I will even wear bike shorts--the padding sure would come in handy on those hard, wooden courtroom chairs. Oweeeeeeeeee.

I just want to go back to working in my basement by myself all day. I tend to not like people.
