It's only February and I've already done my civic duty for the year. I had jury duty yesterday and today. Thankfully, I did not get picked for the jury and was released this afternoon. I was getting a little irritated that I've had to spend 2 of my 3 days off this week at the court house and not at home getting things done. Now I'm going to have to rush around tomorrow to get everything accomplished...drats!
I did get a one-on-one question/answer session with the judge, the defense attorney (and defendant), and the prosecuter before they released me. It seems the prosecuter wanted me but the defense did not...it would have been a case involving sexual misconduct...and I do have definite opinions on the subject. No wonder the defense didn't want me.
On a good note, I met some really nice people through this process. One lady in particular, she was hysterically funny and made our time actually enjoyable. She called me her "jury friend." How special!
