So, I got this jury summons (civil court) a few weeks ago, and this Monday was my first day of service. Since I've actually been staying busy with school related work lately, I was not too thrilled about having to spend any number of days in court only to have to get all my own shit done at night. Then at Monday's juror orientation, I learned that my fellow summoned citizens and I were extremely lucky to have been assigned to a rare one-week session instead of the usual two. Not only that, but the court officer and the judge both dropped some major hints at the week's light case load, mentioning several times that civil cases are often settled before reaching court. Yippee! Could I really be so fortunate? Why yes, I can. I just called the juror info line and found out that I don't have to report tomorrow for my final day of service. Many potential days of mindnumbingly boring civic duty were reduced to two hours of mindnumbingly boring civic duty!
My point, I suppose, is that I am awesome and this is freaking sweet.
