I'm here, judge

Holy shit.

I went into the bill drawer to get a check before heading to work tonight, to find my jury summons envelope sitting right on top.

I was supposed to report in Monday.

Ah, crap.

Heart pounding, stomach plummeting, I logged on to the county jury website.

My group reports tomorrow morning.

Thanks, Jesus!

"Hello, work? Yeah, I won't be in tonight, I forgot I had jury duty tomorrow morning...."

I'm sure they bought it.
