whoa

So last year around December I was called for jury duty. I went to the court, not paying attention to much. Turns out it was the Federal court, and I was called for federal GRAND jury duty. There are about 80-90 people in one large room when I arrive, late, as per the norm. After calling everyone's names off, they herd us all into a court room, like what you see on Judge Judy.

Soon, a judge comes out, assigns each person a number, and then picks the numbers at random. If your number is picked, you get to serve on the jury. So, he starts calling everyone's numbers, and by now I'm pretty scared, as I have learned somewhere between the time I arrived, and the present time in my story that a federal grand jury consists of 21 very unlucky citizens who must report for jury duty EVERY FUCKING WEDNESDAY FOR A FUCKING YEAR! 18, 19, 20 people called, I'm starting to think that God actually does love me as much as I've heard on the Christian channel. What? 59? FUCK.

So, it's now been nearly a year. I get $50.50 every time I go to jury duty. Today the session was 7 hours long. Some people were fucking sleeping. The moral of my story is, if you get a summons from a Federal Court for jury duty, you get your ass to the doctor on that day and you make damn sure you are sick.
