Jury Duty

I had jury duty for the first time a while back. I have to say it was nice to get out and see new things and people. I'm still not sure what to do though since I've never really been around older folks much outside of school. I fear I'll do something stupid to offend them. They certainly outrank me on the adulthood scale. I have no status at all being unemployed... sigh... I mean it's not really my fault. I'm still very much learning to walk as my body changes and stuff but that don't mean squat to older folks. They wish they could be my age again I'm sure...

But ya know what's most fascinating to me, is the men. Seeing real men doing their jobs is something I've not seen much of in my life besides school. At BMT any idiot 18 year old douche bag from high school could be your boss, or leader, which is part of the whole lesson on the chain of command they teach you in that age is irrelevant, whoever outranks you outranks you. But fuck that shit. I like seeing real men taking on the world and I respect that. They know what they're doing in life. How the hell do I get to that point?
