jury duty

today, i had to show up for jury duty. 
i was concerned. (ok, i was seriously stressed and concerned.)
i didn't know what the case was going to be about, and didn't try to find out.

when i got there, i had an anxiety attack that i was able to successfully work through (yeah me!). then i learned what the case was about, and my stress level went through the roof. 
a young man accused of soliciting enticing young boys for sexual acts. and sexual abuse by performing acts on or with them.
there was no way i could be an impartial juror for that.

but, i had to sit there and wait to see if i would be selected as part of the panel. 
the stress induced a migraine. 

however, i dodged jury duty by the luck of the draw. they never pulled my name out of the hat.
