It’s true, I’ve officially been part of the great American legal system by way of Jury Duty. In the interest of keeping an unbelievably long story short, I’m officially back at work (narrowly escaping a two-week criminal case).

I’m left wondering about these few things:

1. Do you think our judges had this in mind when they spent countless hours and thousands upon thousands of dollars in law school?
2. What happened to the art of “follow my lead?”
3. Why do people always feel it’s necessary to share their entire life story whenever given the chance to speak? I seriously needed my own portable “Wrap it up” Box.

Anyway, I have discovered that I’m way too wound up and in much too much of a hurry (compared to the rest of the planet) to be a part of any jury. Let’s hope I don’t get another summons for quite some time.
