Jury Duty
I have been called to Jury duty this coming Monday. I have always wanted to sit on a jury, but now that I have the chance..... a little scary. I have to report next Monday at 8:30. Now for most of you that would not be a problem, BUT I am not a morning person any more. I get up and lolly-gag and drink coffee and lolly-gag and get dressed and lolly-gag and then get something done. I guess you could call me a lolly-gagger....

I have all the answers IF you'd like to get out. :) On Becker all he did was say that he "read" books - didn't matter which book - and they excused him - that's hyperbole though. :) God bless and thanks for dropping by.
ReplyDeleteBeen there. Done that. A lot. Take a book. Hope you get picked. It's a lot more interesting that way.
ReplyDeleteLol....I'm sitting here in our jury room right now! Day 2....and just waiting! Hoping something will take place and they'll pick me!!
ReplyDeleteJury duty is very interesting....but the waiting around is a drag...take some reading material, helps to pass the time. I'm a lolly~gagger too...hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteI agree, it's the waiting that is so hard. I remember waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting. . . and then got sent home anyways because they made deals and didn't go to trial. I would have rather been on the jury with a real trial. A book is a good idea. Hope they have comfortable chairs!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI have never been picked for jury duty.I guess that waiting around could get to be long!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
I served on a jury way back when I was a young married woman..it was interesting and I hope I want be called again.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a morning person either...when I have to be somewhere early...I just set my clock for 2 hours before I have to leave so I can still take my time..it is the only thing that works for me.
I love you, girl, thanks for praying...I'll send you an update when I have one...we're sort of stalled right now.

Julia was just asking me yesterday if I have ever been called for Jury duty.
ReplyDeleteTake a good book!
I was called for jury duty when Shawn was just a baby and I really didn't want to be there but figures I would get picked to be a juror for the trial! lol It was quite an interesting trial...two guys who got charged for hiring a hooker for a birthday party, can you believe it? lol On the second day the judge told us that the two sides had agreed on a settlement and we would no longer be needed. Pffttt, all that for nothing! I've been called again but it was in the days when I was agrophobic and could hardly get out of the house so the doctor had given me a note to send to the court to be excused. Good luck and as the others have said, bring a good book:-) xoxo
ReplyDeleteMy husband just got a summons also. He likes doing it, but never seems to get on a case. He ends up sitting around. When I first got out of high school, I worked for the jury commission for our state. It was a clerical job where I sent out questionnaires for potential jurors. I wasn't crazy about it.;) Anyway, I've never served.
ReplyDeleteTry it; you may like it.
My last experience was that when they heard that I was a Christian they dismissed me.
ReplyDeleteI've only been called once and I was on my way to being picked when I broke down in tears because the case was too much like something we were going through at the time - they didn't want me. I didn't do it on purpose! Really!
