best "work" day ever

i had a personal chauffeur this morning - my mom.

we went to a french bakery for coffee and pastries before she dropped me off for my second day of jury duty.

from 9:00 until about 10:00, i sat in the quiet room at the municipal court on my laptop, catching up on emails, reading blogs, and pinning things on pinterest.

and right around 10:00, i got called off of duty.

and headed home.  once again, using my free bus tickets.

i was supposed to be working today, an entire 12 hour shift.

and get this, i got paid for the ENTIRE day.

plus my $10.00 jury duty payment.

working for the state and serving the state kind of rules.

here's to jury duty every year!
