I was summoned.Jury Duty.
I know the drill.
Showed up at the appointed time.
Filled out paper work, watched a video.
Assigned a number. Ten.
Filed into a courtroom.
Answered questions out loud.
Learned way too much about 53 strangers.
Number 11, sitting right next to me, has a half-brother serving time for murder. I tried not to flinch. As requested by the court, several others shared about their family members "convictions".
They know a bit about me too. They know that I am related to attorneys.
I'm pretty sure that's why I was thanked and excused (after several hours)...it happens every time!

YAH for attorneys!
I've been summoned a few times, and never shown up. I don't know how many more times I can get away with that.
your so cute i can just picture you now. trying to avoid the man next to you, without making it obvious. then leaving early like the classy lady you are. love it!
Sorry about the jury duty. Isn't that the most collosal waste of time? There's gotta be a better way. And....no, we've never made Mom ride in the trunk! On bad days it may have been a fleeting thought tho!!
