The verdict?

Pretty awesome. I didn’t really have to do anything except get up a little earlier than usual.

I reported to the court house at 8 a.m. After a short wait, a couple people talked to us about the process, and they played a short video (I believe it was called “You the Juror”). Then we had a 15 minute break.

After we reported back to the waiting area, somebody else talked to us. And then we waited. And waited.

I fortunately have two unfinished books, so I brought one along. In the background, the TV was on. We watched “Regis and Kelly” and “The Price is Right.”

Around 10 a.m., they told us the judge was still reviewing the docket. We were given another break. (You know, a break from waiting). And then we got to wait some more.

Around 11, they called 30 people. I was not one of those people. Five minutes later, they called two more people.

And then the rest of us could go.

Yay! I was home by 11:30, and worked from home for the rest of the day.

I’m on jury duty until Monday, and will have to call in each night to find out if I’m needed. I’ll be back again tomorrow morning.

I wonder what my odds are on another easy day?
