I have the worse luck passed down through the generations and given to me by my father whose nickname in Vietnam was "Black Cloud" because everytime they went out on patrol his entire squad would be killed and he'd be the only one to survive. Thus, no one would talk/associate with him and I seem to have inherited this horrible fate. So here's my rant:
I have wanted to go to Cali for longer than I can remember. So I finally got the chance to go to Sacramento to see family and go on a week long vactation. It was the only thing I was looking forward to...and now it seems I cannot go.
Today I got a letter in the mail from the courthouse saying that I have to go in for jury duty the day that I am supposed to leave for Cali. I called them and told them that I would be out of town and would not be able to make it. They said too bad. They refuse to let me postpone it or get out of it and I don't want any trouble with the law for just not showing up...but I think this trip is important enough to risk that. Why do I have such bad luck??? Of all the people they could call and of all the times they could choose to call me up...they pick now. I am going. I don't care.
