Signed, Sealed, Soon to be Delivered

The form for eligibility for jury duty.

I hope my little stickers put a smile on the mail clerk's face, but s/he probably has so many to open every day that the stickers won't even be noticed.

I ought to have bought the little skull and crossbones stickers, though. The flag could mean I'm eager. The cats...I was tempted to plaster the entire back of the envelope with cat stickers, but refrained.

Who knew Canada had a "Sheriff's Office?" And who knew it was in Oshawa? (At least the one for Ontario.)

When they get around to calling me for jury selection, I'm taking my chair cushion and electric heating pad. A box of facial tissue, cough drops and anything else I can think of to make myself seem unappealing/distracting as a juror. (Apologies to those of you who actually would be interested in serving on a jury. Feel free to take my place, citizenship notwithstanding.)
 
I saw cuter cats yesterday, on the way home from work, in my neighbourhood, just a couple of streets away.
 He was very friendly, was playing with the leaf.
Both cats were very friendly with each other and with me too. Unfortunately, after I left them, this one stretched out in the street, at the side, and stayed there, totally disregarding the cars.  :-/
Is it Friday yet?

I've served on a jury three times. If I'm ever called again, I'm taking a bottle in a brown paper bag - and I'll take a swig every so often...
I HATED it! It is nothing at all like you see on tv (at least in NZ it's not) and judging a fellow human being is a miserable experience. None of the people I was 'jurying'(it is SO a word!) was in court because they were inherently bad... I still wonder if we got the right verdicts...

I was very fortunate by being able to get out of jury service in the UK by claiming it would be detrimental for my health, as supported by my psychiatrist. I wrote such a list of problems on my response form that the exempted me as it would have probably cost them very dearly in mental health aftercare. Good luck!
