it's official
It's official: I’m too crazy for jury duty! WOOHOO!!
I mean yeah it sucks that my psych doc had to get huffy with them and be like “seriously she’s MESSED UP” before they stopped threatening me with a $500 fine for not showing up. And it’s kinda upsetting in a weird way that I’m actually crazy enough that I *shouldn’t* be a juror.
But now it’s official. They’re not only dropping it currently, but they’re putting me in the system as “permanently dismissed.”
Since they started pushing the $500 fine thing, I went down to my psych doc’s office and was like, “Okay, so apparently they want me to go in there. Do I go and just be myself?”
She got the funniest look on her face. A mix of barely-concealed horror (because she KNOWS my views on stuff and what I’d say to them), amusement (because she knows I’d totally do it and she likes that part of me), and concern for my mental health (because yeah it would mess me up bad).
She said no, not to go down there.
Damn, and I was all set to tell them that I’ve never been the victim of a crime or assault, so I’m the perfect candidate for sitting on any jury. Oh except that part where I hallucinate or read between the lines when people are speaking and fly off with conspiracy theories.
Or that funny little thing I do when I’m going into a psychotic episode (which can be brought on by stress) where I stop talking (catatonic schizophrenia yay!) or just throw my body into shock.
Or my views on what should be done with criminals.
Or my communication skills, which would totally wow them when it came time for me to deliberate with other jurors.
All in all, I’d be an awesome juror. No one would appreciate me, but at least now they’ll never bug me about it again. So YAY.
