Bitter, crabby, and bad attitude all around

I got called for jury duty. Again. For the third time. One of which was Grand Jury that lasted for 3 months. Come on folks, there are 300 million people in this country. You can't tell me that there aren't any qualified people who have never served. I know some of them. You can't tell me there are that many crimes committed in the entire history of this country (unless you count for profit wars). If there are that many crimes, then we have way too many stupid laws crafted on the planet Psychosia and its moons Subservia and Tyrannia, and we need to abolish those laws now.

They probably think I'm retired or something. AARP keeps sending me "join now" mail and my mailbox is flooded with arthritis advertisements. While these are admittedly superior to penis enlargement advertisements, they probably indicate that I've been flagged in some databases as "decrepit non-purchaser, use liberally for jury duty".

Of course, that doesn't explain the fact that rialian just got the preliminary notification in the mail too (it usually takes about 4 months for them to follow up with a summons to appear).

How odd. I got hit too. I'm going to have to check between 2/20-2/26 to see if I get tapped. Understandably I'm *so* thrilled to possibly trade a full workday with pay for the 'generous' 15.00 they pay for this.

This will be the third time in my life, I've never served on a jury though. I end up milling around at the courthouse and getting sent home.

I've been called twice by the county, both times about a month after i moved from that particular county. I'd kind of like to go on one, too. Silly jury duty selector people.

Poor Helen *hugs*

I am fortunate that I've been called twice, but never had to serve. The first time, they actually put us in the jury lounge and showed us a panda documentary. Then they showed us the panda thing again, and made an announcement dismissing us all. We all went flying out of there.

The second time, I got excused because my grandmother died.
