Pulled jury duty today. Since I don't have to report until 8:30 am, I go to the jail first and do my morning stuff, then jump in the car and whiz on over to the Civic Center Courthouse in the nick of time. Except there was a bomb scare which closed down the courthouse and City Hall, so I stood out on the street for a couple of hours and watched the firetrucks and helicopters. Finally, after some hours of tedium, I was selected to be part of a jury pool. The bad news: it's probably a 5-week case. The good news: I am so biased that I think that once they read my 10-page(!) questionnaire, they'll let me go. But I have to come back on Thursday.
Yay civic duty.
