Jury duty over

Dismissed. Hooray! I guess they didn't want someone with extensive experience in the Middle East and fairly strong views on religious persecution and immigration on that particular case. I thought they might not.

Hooray! I don't have to try to do two jobs at once. Phew.

I've gotten the jury duty questionnaire in the mail twice. Once I filled it in and wasn't even picked to come in to sit around on the hard bench. The second time (more recently) I got a date to come in and sit around but was dismissed over the phone the morning of. (If I recall correctly I was supposed to come in on January 2.) Maybe it's just the luck of the draw or maybe one of my questionnaire answers was unattractive to one of the attorneys...

Great news. I was surprised that the trial was set for 6 weeks long. That would have really put a cramp in things.
