Today will be my 3rd, and possibly last, day of jury duty. So far I’ve logged roughly 2.5 hours over two days.
The first day took about 2 hours, as they explained the process and how important we were to the system, and how they “wish we had more people there because there were *so* many cases this week”. They then took roll, and after about 5 minutes, said “Bye! See you back tomorrow morning!”. Derp??? Wuh???
Yesterday, they explained we were merely “leverage”, but still very important to the process. After taking roll, they turned us loose. A cool 30 minutes.
Today I’ll find out if they can manage to streamline the “process” a bit more three days in. Can we get an auctioneer to call roll? Stay tuned…
