I first of all want to thank Franklin county for summoning me to Jury Duty. I was reluctant at first, then a little excited, and then well it was Jury Duty and usually when you mention that people cringe.
I think I may have been the only Juror that did not get called into court, I did not even get interviewed (I have my suspicions about that). I showed up everyday with a couple books, my ipod and some snacks. I'd head up to the quite room, snag my couch, stick in the ear buds and start reading. Sometimes if I was tired because you know, a lot of reading and lounging can sometimes do that, I would take a nap. It was a very nice and relaxing break. I didn't have to get up early because Jury Duty doesn't start until 9, at 12:00 we were dismissed for an hour and a half lunch break and then usually by 2 (if not earlier) the Jury pool was sent home. **Sigh** It was wonderful.
As they dismissed us today they talked about how we should have a different view of court and its system. I totally do and if that is all Jury Duty is cracked up to be sign me up on a monthly basis. I've got a lot more books to read.

wow, sounds great! I've never been called. Probably because I could never find someone to take responsibility for all my children.
Awesome. I am ready for that sort of action.
