I've been selected to serve on a jury in Federal Court, and they expect the trial to last 6-8 weeks. So my internet use will be quite restricted for the foreseeable future. I'll have the evenings and weekends, of course- we aren't going to be sequestered or anything...
When I first received the jury notice, I was excited. The two days of jury selection were educational- sometimes entertaining and sometimes tedious.
Today the trial starts, and I feel quite nervous. Nervous like I'm starting a new job. A new job where people's futures are depending on me.
But I also feel proud to be part of the process.
I already have so much that I want to tell, but I can't. So I will have to save it all up for 6-8 weeks!

gretchen, i have to say that i'm impressed by your attitude and not complaining about doing your civic duty!
good luck on your first day.
Good luck...and thanks for serving!
I'm also impressed! Great attitude, is right. Can't wait to hear the stories...
How awesome that you can serve, too! I've been called twice and both times was not in a position to be able to serve. (1st time in school, 2nd time about to pop out Conor!) Have a wonderfully enlightening time. :-)
oh! the two times i sat on a jury were very exciting for me. i felt the same way. once we were even sequestered for the last night of deliberations, all of us bussed out to staten island to stay overnight in a funny little motel.
good luck!
Go do your duty! Haha, sounds funny. Little Brian would get a kick out of the bathroom humor in that sentence.
Anyway, enjoy your time away from work. Hope you find the time you are serving interesting. But we will miss you here. Hurry back!!!
What.
You are who I want on a jury...
