"I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth... Yikes!
I am majorly wigged about tomorrow now. Jury service that is.
I keep going through phases of being scared stiff (like now) and actually looking forward to it.
I was doing fine a few hours ago. I had everything planned out and all the stuff I need to take with me ready and then I looked through the envelope all the docs came in (something I haven't done since the day it arrived) and found a form I didn't see before.
Typically, it the most inconvenient one. A form I have to get filled in by my manager at work. Yeah, great, I find it after I've left work for the last time before jury sevice starts. Meaning I have to go down to work first thing in the morning and hope like hell that either my manager or someone else with the authority to sign it, is there. And has time to do it, that place is manic first thing in the morning.
It's completely my own fault, which means I can only be pissed off with myself; which isn't making me feel any better *g*. It's just, I'm not organised - at all, but this time I really thought I had it all under control: Bus times, where to go in, what to take... And then I find this form and realise that, no, I'm still crap.
The form has to be handed in on the first morning as well and I'm worried that if I use the "Dog ate my employment form" line - they might fine me £1000. And if I do have to blag it, I only hope it's before I give the affirmation (which has more, and longer, words than the Oath and has me wondering if I should try and find God over night.) because if its after I've promised not to lie, I'll be sweating like a very obvious lying pig.
Anyway, yeah, I'm freaking!
