You shouldn't! I was completely agitated and frustrated. Even now I get the feeling they're on me. :bleh:

Dodged the jury duty bullet for today... Four more days to go. :sweat: :fingerscrossed:

I thought the deal was... you go down to the Jury pool for one day, sit around... if you're not selected, that's it. Go home.

The step before that is that you have to call in every night after 7PM to find out if you have to come in and sit around the following day...

I'm hoping I don't have to piss away a vacation day just to sit around and read People and Ladies Home Journal magazines all day... :bleh:

That's right. I remember now. I lost that part because I had to go in on the first day the last two times I got the notice.

Yuck.... :bleh:

Some people have told me it was my civic duty, but I'd think you'd have better jurors if you didn't threaten them with jail time and/or a fine to be a juror.

Maybe giving up U.S. citizenship would be a good thing right now. :beaten:

I'm with you on that. You'd think there would be enough retired and unemployed people to do the job, ne?

Not to mention city employees who get paid for being on jury duty as opposed to the rest of us who get squat... Or in judicial system terms, $15 a day. :crazy: :shakehead:

That's what portable DVD players are for. :P

I got out of jury duty twice. Once because I knew someone who got called in for the same case and I got the jist of what it was about. The second time, I got got called up to the jurors' box and made up some lame excuse, which made the judge send me to another court room and I didn't get called up for that one. I'll try ANYTHING to get out of jury duty. :hehe:

If all else fails, just try the "prejudice" excuse.

If they'll let you into the juror's pool area with it. :P

You can't even bring in a cell phone that has a camera in it... And almost ALL cell phones have cameras in 'em. :crazy:

Oh, I didn't even think of that. I haven't been to one of those things for a few years now and that was probably when portable DVD players were $1000 or whatever. I guess iPods are safe though?

And that sucks about the cell phone thing, but understandable. Eh, just bring in a good book (or comic/picture book, in your case :hehe: )

I'll stop by the adult book store on the way to the courthouse... That should get me thrown off the jury pretty quickly. :beaten: :hehe:

Or maybe they'll confiscate it and select you anyway in hopes of you bringing more? :naughty:

:rofl:

Just don't bring any MM photobooks or you'll get thrown in jail. :P

LOL! I was gonna say, B-san would prolly bring out his collection of Ryoko/Juri PBs. A day off work well spent indeed. ;)

LOL, just wear your "All criminals are scum" T-shirt ;)

The "Kill 'em all, let God sort 'em out" shirt didn't work for me. :beaten: [/list:u]

Yow, my luck ran out pretty fast: I have to report to the courthouse tomorrow... :bleh:

I guess I'll get to catch up on working crossword puzzles. :sweat:
