Jury Duty

It’s official, tomorrow I must attend Fairfax County Courthouse for jury duty. My summons mentioned that I could call in to see if my “group” would need to appear. I’m in group 210, and groups 200 – 211 must appear. So, I’ll have to go there, to see if I’ll even be needed. The summons says that there’s lots of waiting, and to bring things to quietly pre-occupy myself. I’m thinking laptop (they say they provide internet access), minidisc player (that’s what I have until I join the mini-hard drive revolution… I’m waiting for Sony to make a better version… the first version didn’t rate too highly… and couldn’t even pick up FM radio), maybe a book, and some DVD’s to watch on my laptop. I don’t know how much time I might need to kill, but I’ll be ready anyway.
I’m not completely looking forward to showing up for jury duty. I’d be happier about “fulfilling my civic duty” if this weren’t such a busy week at work. The worst part of it all? I have to be there by 8:15! Ugh, I hate mornings!
Anyways, whether I have to actually appear on a jury, I’ll have to possibly go back in next Tuesday as well. The worst part of that… I’m supposed to be on VACATION at that time. That just sucks…
But at least it’s only for 2 weeks.
