Out of the Blue - Blue's News Story

I was this close (picture me holding my fingers right next to each other) to getting through my jury duty stint without any actual disruption, but my check-in last night informed me my number was up, and I'm to report this morning. Hence the early start. I did my best to catch up before heading off and will deal with it from there. The prospective jurors from my pool who aren't reporting today were dismissed completely, so I imagine my obligation will be complete if I don't get assigned to a case by the end of today. I don't know what the likelihoods are here, so I'm just going to channel my inner Wash and be a leaf on the wind. Wish me luck.
