Doing the Duty

For the first time in my life, I am doing the duty—jury duty, that is. I was at the courthouse all yesterday, I’m at work today, but will be back on duty Monday.

 

Is it sad that I’m actually looking forward to Monday?

 

We’re in the jury selection phase, and it is likely that I will be an alternate. I find the whole process very interesting and almost wish that I hadn’t had excuses for not serving in the past.

 

The judge has assured us that the longest the trial will go is Friday of next week. After that, I will be free to post more details about doing the duty. Stay tuned.
