Jury duty sucks. I've been called for it once, and the way it works up here is you're called for a week. You have to show up at the courthouse, and sit around waiting for trials that need juries, then whenever there was one, we'd all get trouped to the courtroon and have our names pulled from a machine. My name got called once, but one of the lawyers rejected me.

It was all frightfully boring. The only good thing was I was doing exams at the time, so all the sitting around between trials gave me lots of time to study.

Hope you don't get picked for a trial.
