I drew that picture all by myself.

Oooh love the drawing!
So had jury duty today, went in, gave us the whole speech about how we're gonna be there until 5, collected all our juror ballots and questionnaires and allowed whoever has an excuse not to serve make their case, shows us the mandatory video...then the very funny court police comes out and says, guess what guys, so while we were entering your paperwork the judge's office called...they aren't going to be using a jury and you guys were all free to go! This was 10:20am.
I am so glad not to go through selection and be done for 6 years.
I've been called for jury duty twice. Once was literally the day before I moved out of state. The other I called the night before and they said they didn't need me. I'm worried I don't have the attention span to focus on a case.
Last time I served I had to serve on a murder trial, had to let the motherfucker go because the evidence was weak. But yes, trials are actually insanely boring.
Wooooo congrats. Jury duty might be important but it's certainly annoying lol
