Jury duty!

Woke up at 5:30am to get down here in time. Yes, Colorado traffics is this bad. Now I'm sitting in a nearly empty room waiting for this show to start at 8:30a.

I somehow doubt I will enjoy this. I had caffeine this morning for the first time in a week and I can already feel the headache coming.

The room has filled out but its not 100% full. I'll decide if I want to sit on the jury after seeing what it is.

I never get called, ever. I got called once back in 2002 and they've never called me back. I must have been blackballed. I don't even know what I said for that to happen. I actually wouldn't mind serving my duty once in awhile, but I don't think they'll ever call me back. Hmph. 
Sorry it's a bummer, but the truth is, they need someone practical, rational, and intelligent like you. If I was on trial, I'd want someone like you in my jury. No shit.

Did you get picked? I've only had jury duty once & they didn't pick me for the case. My mom actually got jury duty twice in one month back home in South Dakota recently, thought that was weird.

No, April Benney. In fact, after they called the first twenty names or so they released the rest of us. I guess there weren't enough cases being tried.

This was my third time with jury duty and the quickest I ever got out. The first time I was picked to sit on a jury and made it to opening arguments before the judge called a mistrial. The second, I didn't make it past the jury questioning. This time I didn't make it to a court room. 

If that pattern keeps going, I'll never do jury duty again.

Lol well not having to do jury duty again isn't always a bad thing! It's nice to "do your part", but monetarily it's not worth the cost if you have to miss work for it.

So, Minnesota would rather people not be able to advance themselves without the officiating organization paying a fee, first? Do libraries have to pay a fee to lend books? Do documentaries put together by universities have to pay a fee first? If I move into the state and give away old college text books, do I have to pay a fee first? http://www.forbes.com/sites/evapereira/2012/10/19/minnesota-bans-free-online-education/
