Not-a-juror

[hrj]

I wasn't empaneled. I wasn't even interrogated. Is it egotistical to feel deeply disappointed? (The annoying thing is that I've never gotten to be an actual juror, and this is the first time I've been called up when it would actually be rather convenient -- particularly given the projected short trial.) Ah well. I guess I have to work for half a day, then.

being a juror is an exercise in 'hurry up and wait'. You get there on time, (because they threaten you with a bench warrant if you're late) you wait around for the lawyers and judges to try to settle at the last minute. You listen to a little testimony, they send you on break while they discuss why people can't say what they just said. rinse, repeat.
