Falling over now

[jethrien]

I had jury duty today. (Very romantic.)

I'm off the hook and don't have to come back tomorrow, which is nice. But man, I'm wiped out. The benches have padding but are at 90 degree angles and are incredibly uncomfortable. I spent the entire thing reading technical articles from work until I felt like my eyes were bleeding. And if the guy the next bench over made one more comment about how ridiculous the $5/day we got paid was, I was going to leap the aisle and strangle him.

I'm going to go lie down and see if my back can sort itself out. Oww.

That was my experience of jury duty in New York as well. Two days of sitting around reading and playing on my laptop, then they told us we didn't have to come back for the third day. And the whole time they only called people out for the voir dire once. I don't recall them having wi-fi back then, though (this must have been around 2002).
