So the deposition for the KG robbery was today, and I'm pretty sure I just babbled the whole way through. I do that when I'm nervous. I was actually very nervous, and it was cold in the room, which seems to aggravate my nerves. Also the defendent's attorney was a dick, a demeaning dick. I believe at one point he asked me how long I've worked at KG, and then after I told him about 3 years, he asked if I was a manager. When I replied no, he kind of mumbled something like "3 years, not a manager..." Seriously, I know, but being a manager is like a $1 difference and a lot more work for that dollar. So when I was offered the job, I declined. Also, Sheila had just been shot and I wasn't sure how much longer I was going to stick around.
So Defence Attorney pissed me off. Maybe that's just the way he talks, maybe it's more effective to be a dick in his job, I don't know, but I was pretty offended and I still am. And I'm jittery with residual nerves. He kinda made me want to cry. Hopefully this doesn't go to full on court because I can only imagine the anxiety getting up on the stand will be. Mock Trial really didn't prepare me for this, I had a script and a lawyer with specific questions and answers. Real life is all about my head going blank because I"m so nervous and cold.
And yeah, I can finish out my shift after being robbed, because it did thoroughly shock me, but I'm good at pushing through things. But public speaking has always been a bad thing for me. I am such a nutcase.
