So my anxiety about jury duty ended up being justified. Despite the fact that I have no employer (being a self-employed business owner) to compensate for time off, I'm still required to do my two weeks of jury duty. (Maybe more depending on the case I get assigned? I honestly don't understand how this shit works.)Luckily the lady was sympathetic enough to let me postpone until November, so I can prep for GMX  for now. But man. Wtf. $11 a day is the jury duty pay. Employers of regular jobs are required to pay the difference between that $11 and their regular pay, but I'm just going to fall further behind on commission work. I'm going to try to bring my laptop with to work while waiting for crap, but I'm not sure if I'll have a chance. Guh. I'm reeeally tempted to see if I can get a psychologist to give me a note for social anxiety to get out of it. I hate to shirk my civic duty, but it seriously does stress me. I get anxious about *calling* strangers, much less helping decide their legal fate. EVERYONE IS INNOCENT LEAVE ME ALONE. ;n;

Anyway, in happier news...FALLLL! Odkit has donned her calico colors for this announcement of the change of password. http://odderkitten.tumblr.com/Fall password: autcumnAnd back to the mash ups I go! (Btw for those wondering where the snap recap is, I'm going to wait till I finish all the mash ups to catch up on those. Sorrrry! Soon! Hopefully!)

Jury duty is the frickin worst but if youre lucky youll only have to go in once or twice and they wont pick yo uand theyll send you home, thats what happened to me this year. Good luck!!!!

$11 a day? Thats not even minimum wage.

I wouldn't sweat it too much. Odds are you won't even end up on a case.
