on the jury

[lizziebelle]

I had jury duty this week, and for the first time ever, I was picked to serve on a jury. I'd always thought it would be interesting to do so, and it was, but I wouldn't want to do it again. It's very difficult to hold someone's fate in your hands, and difficult for six people to come to a unanimous conclusion

it sounds stressful, but it was necessary, and i'm glad it's over for you.

i find law fascinating. it's precise, but squishy due to the emotions involved.

[lizziebelle]

Exactly. Fascinating but squishy. I like that.

I give up. Who is Uncle Carl?

It's a pair of trapeze artists!

So hard and stressful, and so important. Thank you for doing the job and taking it seriously.

[lizziebelle]

Thank you. Very hard and very stressful, and yes, very important.

That must have been an interesting experience.

[lizziebelle]

It was interesting. Hard, but interesting. Very different from what you see on TV!

[lizziebelle]

It's definitely an exercise in critical thinking.
