Week off ruined....

5

So my week off work has been kinda ruined. First off, jury duty. Here in Scotland you call the day before you are due to start jury duty and find out if and when you are required. I wasn't needed on Monday nor on Tuesday. I was today and wasted 2 and a half hours of my life. Called back tonight and not needed tomorrow but need to call back tomorrow evening. The result is that I haven't been able to make any real plans. I'm pretty mad about it to be honest. I know it's my civic duty but it's the fourth time I've been called so far. Meh.

Second, I went for a run on Monday and I've really hurt my hip. It hurts to walk. All the sitting and standing in court was a killer today! I haven't been able to be very active as I've been in a lot of pain.

Okay, rant over. Please continue and thanks for listening!

Yeah @1akbrian it really sucks. I'd not be as mad if I was at work but this was my time. I've not really had a chance to do anything. Rah the hip will heal. You snapchat made me smile 😻

Jury duty sucks here, too.  It's inconvenient for everyone, except people with nothing to do.  With the downtown county courthouse, you have to show up in person, but it's only for one day, unless you get picked for a trial that lasts longer.  For the east side county courthouse, it's for two days, unless you get picked for a trial, but you call in the night before to see if you are needed.  I've received summons for both, but only had to go in for the downtown one and was mercifully excused from a two week trial when I asked because my employer has no one to cover for me when I am out (which is true).  I've only gotten a summons for state court once, but had just served a day with the county a few weeks earlier, so was excused.  I hope your hip feels better soon.  Are you taking an anti-inflammatory like ibuprofen or naproxen sodium?  It can take 24 to 36 hours for those to kick in with me.
