Had jury duty today, & am going back tomorrow. I am pretty sure that I would be okay doing jury duty several times a year. The waiting room part was great, despite dragging on for a really long time (I was in there for like, seven hours...): I got to talk to several lovely people on the phone, & watch Lost & Law & Order: UK (some of an episode anyway, before my computer died...), & read, & it was quite nice. & then I got called into the courtroom an hour before we would have been released, but it was actually very interesting. They're still working through the jury selection, hence the need for my return tomorrow, in case they let people off tomorrow based on lack of qualification or really shitty excuses. But I don't mind. The judge is even very nice, & also funny, which always makes things less miserable, right?
