jury duty: the most boring way to earn $9

having become a citizen in 2007, i have only recently had to experience the sad boring responsibility known as jury duty. as expected, it was not fun, it took a LONG time and i was confronted by the fact that these were not the "peers" that i would want judging me if by whatever reason i get confronted by the legal system. the employees of the court were not funny despite feeble attempts at cracking terrible jokes, the potential jurors were all antsy to leave from the git-go and i did NOT enjoy having to get there by 8:15a. the only two things that i walked away with happily were my $9 check and my freedom to not have to do this again for a while (i was not selected for a jury so hurray!!). i had already received two summonses while i was working and now that i have no job, i had no excuse to not go. plus, now i have an extra couple of bucks to buy more beer for the superbowl! i'm going to say it here: GO COLTS!
