SUMMONS!!!

In the time I have been a legal adult, I don't think I've ever been summons to serve as a juror.

Last week we got home and I had a very scary looking bit of mail in our box, it was a summons from the court house---OH GOD! I thought. Then I open it to see, oh---it's "just" a jury duty notice. My luck---I'll be picked to sit in on Jury duty.

So now I'm sort of curious---what IS Jury duty like, I'm not sure I know anyone who's actually had to serve---

After filling out their questionnaire which include such amusing questions as to my competency of the English language---which I was tempted to say I don't understand. Or if there's a viable reason---like maybe my boss' could give me a get out of Jury Duty pass, unlikely. I couldn't wait to be told, that $7 was considered "FAIR" for a lost day of wages...in this day and age $7 isn't even enough to buy a combo meal at most fast food joints...

So what do I have to look forward to? Best case scenario, it's NOT a murder trial. Otherwise D and I will be living off ramen-noodles and Dollar menus.
