Morning all,
I am sitting here at a Jury Assembly room, getting ready for Day Two.
As in, ‘Two days or one Trial’ which this particular area of NJ has for Jury Service. I’ve not been picked yet, but am in an actual trial pool as of first thing this morning.
Obviously I can’t talk much about this particular experience, yet, but I have done this once before – back in late Jan / early Feb of 2000.
What I’m willing to say about *that* experience is that 1) I don’t much want to talk about the trial I ended up in, even to my parents, 2) It changed my feelings toward Jury Duty in general rather signifigantly from ‘I’m excited to finally do this’ to ‘I don’t really want to go through that ever again.’
I’m sure it’s not helping any that, well, I also work 3rd shift and so its been more of a drain to work than its expected. And the PCs they have in here with internet access (which in itself is rather surprizing) aren’t the best things on the planet either, or for that matter well taken care of.
Ah well, wish me luck that I’ll just have this day over with and I can get on with life for now…
