My Civic Duty!

So I spent my Wednesday serving my civic duty serving as a juror. I had a pretty good time sitting here in the front of the lounge and taking in all the sights. My stint here was highly comical and amusing. I also learned quite a few things here.

You'll find them out after the jump.

• The court system has a juror website that you can use to find out the last time you've served and to fill out the survey they send you with the juror summons.
• Niggas do not, have not and probably never will like jury duty.
• Niggas will publicly make you aware that they do not like jury duty.
• The courthouse has stepped its game up since the last 24 months I've been here (Blu-ray players and nicer TV's litter the juror lounge.)
• No matter how new the technology it is still at the mercy of man. (How are we watching a DVD on a blu-ray. Where's Transformers: The Revenge of the Fallen)
• Romance comedies are the go to default if you want a movie that will have 

• Little to no cussing
• No sex (sexual innuendo is ok I guess, but no bumping uglies)
• You want a high percentage of people to actually be held hostage for the hour and an half that the thing runs.

• Chu 322 is the funniest thing I have heard since butt pirate
• The guy doing the narrative for the orientation video is DRY. Get Morgan Freeman on this thing please!
• I didn't know I will be out of town this weekend counted as an excuse to get your service rescheduled. 
• This girl keeps looking at me like she either wants to fight me or fuck (I'm not sure which one it is but she's not my type)
• I can rock out anywhere. Just give me a hot song and watch me work
• The lady next to me must be trying to break a writing record or something because she has been writing since I got here. It's pretty cool she is actually using a pen and paper (no ipod, iphone, ipad, cell phone or pc for her)
• Apparently people still use modems because you have access to one when you are a juror. They do know peole can VPN without a modem these days, RIGHT?
• The handouts they give you are useful...if you read it...you know I didn't!
• Everyone is in the dark but the judges. Damn them lol!
• You have to sign-in and out for every damn thing! Accountability is the word for the day
• I think the clerks pool their DVD collections and only bring the movies they can live without. 
• I have grown more patient over the past few years. This time 24 months ago I would have been ready to punch my momma. Today I'm just relaxed and waiting for my dismissal. 

Well I can say that this years jury duty was quite an eye opener. I'm interested in seeing what new updates
