Eww. I Got Jury Duty.

[Brenda Starrr]

Tomorrow is not going to be fun. Any advice? I don't want to do this.

[TomCat]

I view it as a privelege, not a hindrance. I say enjoy the experience, most people don't get "big" cases anyway.

[Brenda Starrr]

Ew.

[JaneDead]

i jsut got papers in the mail about this. i had to fill them out and send them back... and i um forgot to send them back. oops. i will tomorrow ... if i remember. i don't want to get called to jury duty either. :( sorry you have already been called to go.

[TomCat]

sheesh, sissies.

[Brenda Starrr]

It's not being a sissy. It's being off from work where I make far more than what I'll get for being there.

[JaneDead]

no, i have 3 kids and no sitter. and i don't have money for a sitter either. and if i did have a sitter and money for sitter i assure you i would rather be off doing something more relaxing than jury duty

[Head Wreck]

(joke)

[Vater Araignee]

go gothed out tell em there is no justice in the justice system.

[LadyWindstone]

I went and took reading material with me as it gets boring waiting for you to get called for a case. I never got called for a case but it was REALLY boring. Third day i got to go home early. woohoo.

Take a book and something to drink and maybe a snack or something. you'll probably be there for a while.

But chances are you won't get picked. I went once and didn't get picked. If I had been brought up they would have canned me anyway, I have too many cops in my family

[DarkChylde]

Funny, I gotten one in the mail before, but I forgot about it and never went. Is that a bad thing? :fear

[Brenda Starrr]

I have to say that it worked out really well. I went, I was called to a case. When the judge asked the jury panel questions (to weed us out), we were asked if we knew the lawyers in any way, shape, or form. Just so happens that I knew one of them because I used to wrok in a bar, and I was a beer-tub girl. He shamelessly flirted with me. He's soooooooooo OLD! I kept trying to ignore him. They also asked if any of us were ever in an accident and filed a lawsuit. Well, I was hit by a speeding attorney in a candy apple red 4-door Jag. I sustained serious injuries, and it took over 3 years for the glass that was embedded in my skin to work its way out. I had stitches, back injuries, short-term memory loss, and nightmares. I also told them that I'm still pretty angry and that every time I see a car just like the one that got me, it doesn't matter if it's below freezing-I sweat.

No shock that they let me go.

[LadyWindstone]

That'll get you outta jury duty.
