While I know I should be more excited for this civic duty, I HATE jury duty.
It is such a waste of my day. And I am ALWAYS their target demographic.
I left the house at 6:45 am Monday morning after getting back from Salida the night before. I didn't sleep well and had been awake since 3:15 am.
As we checked in at the courthouse, about 20 people were called up and sent home. Not me.
I had brought stuff to work on, so I just kept plugging along until we had to enter the court room. I was juror number 14.
It was a stroke of good luck that I was dismissed around 10:30 am. Otherwise I would have been there the entire day and likely into the next morning.
