I Also #%&*$##ing Serve
Jul. 17th, 2008 02:33 pm I realized after I went home from my lovely outing with darklilli that I hadn't yet called the Jury Doody hotline for the night (only two more "standby" nights to go, only two...), so I dailed the number and the bottom fell out of my week.
Fortunately for me, the common room has working computers. (HI ::::wave:::: ) If I'm not seated, I have to work tomorrow instead of picking up my paycheck 8P
This morning I went up with a panel. The judge was very nice. I saw a tall, middle-aged court clerk (I think) of a...round-faced, moussed-haired appearence and did not immediately realize he was a clerk. I turned to a fellow juror and whispered, "My God, it's Denny Crane."
Sometimes I love beingeeeeeeeevil funny 8)
The judge stated that the case might take between 2 1/2 and 4 weeks. (Sometimes I hate trial lawyers. These guys were getting paid by the hour while those of us who were summoned for their convenience were potentially losing wages, livelihoods, etc. )
When he asked if that presented a problem for anyone, 90% of the room raised their hands. Being a nurse whose agency could not replace me for four weeks got me off the hook once. However, I had to come back to the common room in case they needed more jurors later in the day.
More updates later 8P
