I was waiting for my friend outside the movie theater at Courthouse Plaza when a guy walked by, talking loudly on his phone. "I was so close!" he said. "I actually made it into the room."
I idly wondered what he was talking about. Was it a raise? A promotion? A job interview? None of those scenarios really fit, but then he was out of earshot, so I stopped thinking about it.
A minute later, he paced by in the opposite direction, obviously still on the call. "I answered all the questions," he lamented. "I know I had the right attitude."
I still couldn't imagine what he was so worked up about.
"I would have made such a great juror!" he added.
Bingo!
