I went to the court house on Monday to do my civic duty as a juror on a trial. I jokingly told my new team mates that I was probably too opinionated to be selected for a jury. Little did I realize how correct I was. After interviews all morning and a bit after lunch, I had no sooner moved into the jury box and sat down to enjoy the nice squishy chair, which was much more comfortable than the courtroom pews, than the Defence thanked me and asked me to leave.

 

I thought I would be a great juror, and was looking forward to a nice short trial. When I got back to the main jury room, the woman told me (and the others from my trial who had been banished) that we were free to go, our services were no longer required. I was disappointed, but it works out best in the end, since I have so much work to do at work.

 

I hope they call me up again, I would like another shot.
