Last month I received a certified letter from the local sheriff telling me that I was selected as a potential juror for a grand jury. The letter also stated that if selected, I would serving for three months, days and times to be determined. Joy.
I thought about challenging my qualifications to be a juror after the judge said that jurors had to be good upstanding moral citizens. I wanted to say that I wasn't a moral person, but I didn't want to attract attention so I didn't say anything. Instead I crossed my fingers hoping that they wouldn't pick me. So what happened? I was selected to serve. Normally I wouldn't mind, but this interferes with my vacation plans. Yes I can take a day and they'll call in an alternate, but this also means that on Tuesdays that I have to serve, I'll feel rushed because I'll be at the courthouse in the morning and then back to work in the afternoon.
Let's hope it's as exciting as it is on Law & Order.

I'm already keeping my fingers crossed that you get to meet at least one Det. Lupo lookalike. Also, I have a feeling that if you started shouting "I object!" every 10 minutes, you'd be excused from the jury. And most likely jailed but let's keep our eye on the prize and forget about that.
