Who Are You, Anyway?

I walked a thousand miles while everyone was asleep...nobody's really seen my million subtleties...

I Have A Pimp, His Name is Sam...

Today I spent the entire day in US District Court. I have been selected as a juror for the entire month of July. I'm the govt's call girl for jury service. Call me, I come to the designated time and place and I perform my duty. There is only one problem with being the call girl for Uncle Sam...

When the Uncle Sam is your pimp you NEVER get your money up front!

Anyone that knows anything about being an escort knows the first order of business is to get your money up front. So it really bothers me that I must be on-call and not get paid until some time in the future. I mean, I'm doing all the work, I'm making the sacrifices. Hell, I'm faking it to get the job done!

As my luck would have it, I was chosen to sit on a jury for a case (details to come after the trial) and will be going to court for the remainder of the week and possibly into the next depending on the deliberations.

Ain't life grand!

I could think of a million things I'd rather be doing than sitting in the jury box this week. But I guess I'll be a call girl for Uncle Sam...this week.
