Jury duty. I got my first summons for jury duty one day before my vacation. Then I got back 2 weeks later and almost forgot to go. This morning I had to run to the courtplace (it's not in one of those Hollywood-like courthouses so I can't really call it a courthouse.) and I was 40 minutes late. Luckily a bus came right when I needed it.

Went through the metal detector (nothing like the airport ones which kept zapping me for a shirt with metal buttons) and downstairs to the "Jury Room". A "very interesting" video was on showing people what it was to be on a jury. I checked in - no big deal. I guess you can be 40 minutes late in San Francisco for Jury duty. Good thing since 8:30am is a bit early for me.

Anyway- I luckily got out of a case of wrongful death due to aspestos. I couldn't afford to pay the rent if they had taken me for the 3 week trial. I'd really like to serve on a jury, but it would be much more interesting if they at least paid you minimum wage.

After getting off, I went straight back to work. This time I walked- it was such a beautiful day, even walking through the Tenderloin.

It was my first time every to jury duty, and I'm in my thirties! I always here about some people getting called all the time, like you said AutumnFade. I don't think it's weird to want to go to jury duty- I actually felt quite like the good citizen. I think that it becomes a drag if you have to go for 3 weeks or more and you don't get paid more than $20 a day and you're on a boring case. That's when people think it's weird to want to go.

I wish we could just give people more money to be on the jury so that normal working people could do jury duty without having to worry about paying the rent.

Alas that would be another world.
