Listen to the Voice of Experience! I've only had to appear for jury duty once! Of course, I immediately got seated on the jury for a six-week murder trial of incredible sordidness, which was just not the thrill ride some people might think. (shudders, whimpers for Mommy) Not my idea of a good time.
I think on Wednesday you should instigate your fellow prospective jurors to paint the waiting room. Then you could double check which is more interesting. Plus, at the end you'd have dry paint and a whole lot more people going up before the judge. Just a thought.

Hee! It would certainly be a little more productive than today ...
I definitely made the wrong choice of books (don't let Giles hear me say that) - I need something much lighter and far less demanding. I was even contemplating taking some sewing at some point today, but I'm not sure if they'l let me through the security check with scissors in my bag.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I get a non-taxing, non-harrowing case to try (if I get picked at all ...)
