What I've Learned about Jury Duty

So, you've gotten a Jury Duty Summons in the mail. And what does it say? It says you are a Trial Juror. As a Trial Juror, you are required to call the day before your start date, and see if you have to show up. You do this for a whole week, but miss ONE DAY, and its over. It was a Thursday-- I forgot to call them Thursday night. The consequences? You're actually summons to court. That's me today, at the Sylmar Courthouse in Van Nuys... LIVE!

So if you're a felon, you automatically get to go home - sucks.
Oh and if you're on disability - you never have to appear, ever.

The lesson for today? If you're late... its ok, don't worry. I got here at 9:00 and we're still not doing anything. Well, some guy is explaining how to fill out the form... but, I'm not listening.
