JuRy DuTy


Oh how I hate being cramped in this little room with all these other people.  I think they said there are 65 of us in here.  It's quite small.  At least I won't have to come back here for another year (or more - hopefully!).  Have I ever told you that I have the WORST luck with Jury Duty?  I think I have been summoned 5-6 times now.  Holy Moly.  I know it is my duty as an American Citizen, but I sure don't enjoy it.

I live 1 block away from the Redwood City courthouse.  Where did they assign me to???

Answer: South San Francisco

The waiting room for jurors is kind of like jail.  There is a TV that doesn't work, but DOES play the "How to be  Juror" movie on it.  There is a water dispenser.  Bathrooms.  Lots of rows of chairs with about as much room between them as an airline seat has.  And for the lucky few (yep, I was one of them), a long table with chairs so that you can sit at your laptop.

Save Me.
