Jury Duty

So as I tried to say yesterday, except that everything came out in Hindi... I wasn't called in for jury duty! Woo Hoo! That's a big deal in this city. Not only is it a miracle that THEY did not call in all 999 people THEY are legally allowed to call, but THEY only called people #650 and below.

In this town, that is unusual.

During the time spent wandering through the courthouse killing off a wasted day in your life, waiting for the first of many calls to a courtroom, you walk the halls amongst many drug corner mass-murderers dressed in their (lawyer-provided) sunday best.

Yes, it's a joke.

And I will stop there, because it makes me mad every time.

When I hear registered residents of this jurisdiction say, "I NEVER get called", well you know...

Every 366th day I get that puke-green notice, yet the folks running this system cannot get them compooters to call in the people who say, "I WOULD LOVE TO GET JURY DUTY." How convenient that they never get called?

Hey, how about getting downtown, showing up at the courthouse and signing up for jury duty??? Take my spot, whydontcha?

Well, I'll stop there. For now.

Okay, I'm back, and in English. For some reason, the language for my posts was set to Hindi. how the heck did I do that? Maybe in the middle of the night I went sleepblogging.

Weird.
