Adventures in Jury Duty...

Ehhh... who am I kidding, there were no adventures in Jury Duty. I was bored out of my mind for 4 days straight. I think it's some kind of test.... they put you in a windowless room with about 150 other people all fighting various coughs and colds with no internet service, bad cell reception, puzzles that are missing pieces and then tell you, "You are on a break for 5-55 minutes." If you don't go insane by the end of your term you are invited back the next year... YAY for me. :(

Yep, as you can see from above, I was summoned to do my civic duty for Pierce County. Before I was ever summoned I thought what's so bad? I'll get to sit in a room and read with no kids interrupting. That might've been true if there were actually comfortable chairs to sit in and I didn't cringe at the thought of work piling up on my desk at the office.

Truthfully even with all my complaining, Jury duty wasn't too bad. I did get to read an entire book, almost finish a whole puzzle and I met new people each day who were just as annoyed to have their life interrupted for $10 dollars a day as I was!

Thankfully, I only had to go for the 4 days straight last week and this entire week was just calling in to verify I didn't have to go in and I have now been released. WOO HOO!! I didn't end up getting on any cases, which atleast would've broken up the monotony but I didn't want a 3 month case either! They mentioned that there were some jurors that had been on a case for NINE MONTHS. Could you imagine?! Now... what to do with my $40 dollars? Actually, I spent more than that just in gas and food so I guess it will have to go back into the account.
