In one ridiculous 10-minute timeframe:
1. I was informed that I received a jury summons for Idaho. I go my entire adult life in Utah without one, I move up here and get one within the first year? Thanks, Idaho. What did I do to deserve this? (No, seriously, how did they find me?) I don't even have an Idaho driver's license yet (yeah, yeah, yeah, I know I need to go get one) -- is this because I lawfully registered my vehicle or because I registered to vote like any good American? This is the thanks I get for exercising my civic duty and being a law-abiding citizen? Pfft. I think I've learned MY lesson.
2. Aidan peed all over the bathroom floor. I mean ALL over the bathroom floor. Yay for being a mommy to little boys!! In his defense it was an accident, it's not like he's a cat making a "political statement" but still... ugh.
3. I was visited by Jehovah's Witnesses and invited to some important event related to the happenings of Easter but apparently not Easter... and I totally respect everybody's personal beliefs, but at that point I had little patience (read: none) for people who lacked that same respect for mine (or even just wanted to save me from mine). So... sorry about that, Jehovah's Witnesses. You were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I guess Idaho believes that if you want to do your civic duty and vote, you also believe in the Sixth Amendment right to trial by jury. Shame on you, Idaho!
*snicker* ;)
PS - Even before I publish thiscomment, I know it will land me in hot water. ;)
Jury duty really isn't that bad at all. I've been summoned twice, and was the jury foreman the second time. My personal take is that, if I were on trial, I'd want the jury to be made up entirely of people like me.
