I had to go into Worcester (quite big enough for me) for jury duty. I put everything all in one bag. I ditched most of my purse except my travel project and took a smaller big project bag with me. I decided I would take things that only took one thread so I could leave my trolley needle behind. I took blunt kids scissors and they didn't say a thing about them; I had my backup needle threader/cutter just in case. :) I also had a book (I decided against taking two), my iPod, two magazines, and two newsletters. Then I grabbed the Nintendo DS just in case! (Think I have a fear of sitting and being bored? After waiting for a friend's mom in the emergency room for hours I never go anywhere with at least one thing to stitch and I think I have 3 projects in my purse right now. :) ) I stitched through our intro movie. Got called to a courtroom, and when I realized they were calling people by number to individually talk to the judge and I was number 55 of group 1-57, I got the stitching back out again. :) Back to the jury room and more waiting. I listened to my book and stitched until they sent us home. Somehow my boss thinks I had a worse day than others and that I was glad to be back at work. I'd take that kind of day off any time!
