Jury Duty

Don't be weird. Thanks.
They really press it to you that they do NOT want to waste your time. But, in the end, that's all they're really doing.
After roughly three hours of waiting, they finally told us all to leave, that we were not needed today.
There were 9 trials today. NINE. And they were not just any trials, they were criminal ones. Everyone was like "shit do we have to do ALL of them?" Of course, I figured, they all met agreements or didn't have people show up for their trials, so in about a year I may or may not get another letter.
Honestly, I didn't mind. They showed us some video that more or less tells you THIS IS YOUR DUTY AS AN AMERICAN! Wile I sat there and pointed out how they make it out that it's FUN, when it's not. OH WELL. At least the court officer was funny to listen to. He kept whistling wile he spoke. Ha HAH, speech impediment.

"Yes, I believe it is my god-given mission in life to punish the wicked for all their sins. Even the ones they haven't committed yet!"
"EXCUSED! NEXT!"

(I actually am going to use that if ever I get another summons, btw.)
