The non-mock trial
I started jury duty today expecting three days of sitting on my ass and reading and journaling to my heart's content. But no, I have the luck to actually get sent to a selection room, and then I got selected. Damn. I think I should have worn my contacts and a trashy outfit. The glasses make me look all smart and responsible. So now I actually have to do work. Bummer.
P.S.
The best part of jury duty is the video in orientation. It's narrated by Ed Bradley and Diane Sawyer, but it's totally low-budget and cheesy. And in an attempt to make jury duty seem more exciting they give you a history lesson on early trials including a reinactment of the medieval sink-or-float test complete with creepy music.

Jury duty in New York must be crazy. Wouldn't it be cool to be on the jury for one of the numerous NYC crime committing hip hop stars. Or if that throw-a-phone Crow went to trial-wouldn’t that be cool to be in charge of his destiny. Then again those people have entourages who beat people up. Jury duty could be hazardous to your health!
