sleeping+jury[1]OK, so I was wrong.  I got picked (barely — I was the actual last juror called) to serve on a criminal trial jury for what they think will be a 7 to 8 day trial.  So effectively this week and next week are shot for work.  Obviously I can’t say anything about the actual case, but the whole process has been very interesting so far, if also somewhat boring.  There sure is a lot of downtime in court, particularly for the jury.

The judge is pretty sharp, though, and my fellow jurors seem like an interesting lot, so I’m looking forward to serving.  I’ll have more details after the case is done!
