Today begins Day 1 of jury duty for me. I am to report to the county for Orientation and selection today.
It's funny, I have always wanted to be on jury duty, ever since I was aware of the concept. Now that it's upon me I don't want to, mainly as I have a lot of work to do and don't want the interruption. I suppose I should think of it more like voting. I vote not matter how busy I am.
I was also in the paper. What a horrifying experience it was. I suppose everything has turned out ok, but I realize I value my privacy a lot more that I thought. The reporter Martha Allen was a good sport and quoted me accurately. http://www.startribune.com/stories/462/3726699.html
Update: 7:20 P.M.
I was selected to hear a civil case, I can't reveal any other details as this time. Suffice it to say that the jury selection process seems slow and rather random. Can't wait to see what happens.
