–
well friends, it has begun. i’m currently sitting in the jury assembly room, waiting to be called.

I will attempt to update this post periodically (hence ‘live blog’) but, not sure how willing my treo will be.

8:19am – here are some unfortunate things about jury duty…

- the seats are all too close together…i moved the seat next to me over so I don’t have to hug my neighbor.

- we have to watch CNN while we wait. i’m amazed how unabashedly anti-Right they are.

8:31am – my president is speaking on the tv right now concerning the economy…i love this guy

- a friend from church is here…maybe i’ll not go crazy after all.

8:40am – yeah…there aren’t enough chairs…

- I don’t think i’m going to be able to finish the book I brought today…that’s ok.

9:19am – just had our first orientation…which is just reading the summons…i guess they can’t trust people to read the summons anymore.

- starting to get hungry…this does not bode well.

- next step is getting assigned to a courtroom. too bad I get really lost EVERY time I come here.

- first random post question: would you rather have jury duty one week a year or have to fill potholes one week every year?

9:32am – we’re waiting again and I am one chapter (ten pages) away from finishing my book.

no broadband access permitted or available within courtroom.

12:29pm – dismissed from jury duty.

coming up…Gene Pensiero IS: The Rural Juror.
