Jury duty
Honestly, when I received the letter from the county reading: Official Summons, I got a bit nervous.
Then I read a bit further and got excited: I had to answer to my civic responsibility and go to jury duty.
A ton of people I know look upon jury duty as some kind of burden, like mowing the yard or peeling the dead skin off your father's sunburned back, but I get kind of excited.
A day to myself. A day to get a ton of things done. A day to consider all the sacrifices jurors past have made in solidifying our judicial system.
When you think about it, jury duty is a lot like flying cross country:
* getting magazines before hand
* waiting in line to go through the metal detector
* eating pre-packaged food in an uncomfy chair
* watching a silly instructional video as to what one can expect
* sitting next to this guy, who clearly has too much cologne on
And here's the whole team!
So, what, do you have any good jury duty stories to share? Maybe yes, maybe no. My great jury duty story is still being written.
Either way, I have had a pretty good time thus far. Granted it is only 11:36, just 24 minutes until our "lunch period."
I'm thinking Arby's.
