:fail: breath :fail: here is the deal. i couldn’t go to my original date because i had an exam. so stupid me rescheduled it for june 9th. we have a big customer appreciation at work june 11th. it is sort of a big deal. we have a lot of people from out of town coming, i have a lot of people i need to be there for, etc etc etc. there are about 3-400 people coming, not to mention it’s a good time. SO, im in a bit of a predicament. I am #34. WHAT are the best things to say/do to get rejected? i know the whole racist thing is played out and doesnt work, but its good to know people in law enforcement to be biased. that being said, i _know_ some cops, and am close friends with two corrections officers… so any tips? thanks ---

Whatever the crime is say that you, or someone close to you was the victim of said crime and you could not give a non biased objective view of the situation given you are predisposed to say guilty. ---
