One Seat Away

I was one seat away from being a jury alternate. They picked the main jury but needed two alternates and there was only six of us in the jury pool. Six of us left after over 250 people. The six of us were questioned by judge, the assistant D.A. and then the defense attorney. They asks a lot of personal questions. After the questioning, two people were excused. Then the judge had to pick two people out of the four people. She picked the two people in the first two seat. I was in the third seat. Oh well, I did my part, but I want to serve on a jury. So, I guess I have to go to work tomorrow....UGH.
