Summoned!

Good Morning! I have been out of commission for the past two days but, never fear, I am back!

Yesterday I received a very important piece of mail ... I have been summoned for Jury Duty! I report on January 5th. Now I know that most people dread Jury Duty but I couldn't be any more excited! It probably has something to do with the fact that I am the nosiest. person. EVER. Plus having Jury Duty makes me feel like a real live grown up :)

Go ahead - tell me about your J.D. experiences.

xoxo~

I have been called 3 times! Once right when I turned 18( I was still high school) and the other 2 both happened during my freshman year of college. I never went due to the fact that I was NOT going to miss class for it - hahaha. I got out of it everytime!

I've never been summoned, but I think my reaction would be similar to yours! My sister was twice, and was picked twice. They were sequestered forever on one of them - I think she went a little crazy, but overall had an interesting experience!

i ahve only been called once when i was 17...they realized their mistake (that i wasn't a legal adult yet) and didn't have to go...good luck!!!

For some reason I also enjoy jury duty... Or I think that I would enjoy being placed on a jury. Good luck.

I got summoned to appear the day I was supposed to move into my college dorm for my freshmen year of college. I panicked. Of course they let me out of it but to an 18 year old packing for college I thought it was the end of the world.

I was summoned a year ago and actually had to show up. It really was't bad. I brought tons of magazines and waited a few hours. We had a long lunch break and then they let us go. I wouldn't want to have to sit on the jury though.

Have a nice weekend!

I've never had to do JD! (knock on wood) I hear it's a real drag, but I think it might be interesting.

I just hope it doesn't interfere with your blogging duties :)

Jennifer said...

I have never been called, and I hope I don't until I get out of college!

i dont really prefer it but once the process is all done and i get picked, its not too bad. it does watse a lot of time though that i wish i had for other things. i was recently summoned (a few months ago) but i had to postpone it due to my dear dog being very sick. so, i will be heading back in march.... i am also VERY nosey and if its a interesting case, i would like to be picked... you just never know what you'll get! have fun.

Unknown said...

Man! I want to be picked for jury duty! You'll have to fill us in on your experience!

Can't wait to hear stories about this! I would love to do JD, but the only time I was summoned was when I was in college, and it was for my hometown :(

Received my first jury summons this year... read Twilight while waiting to "be called" - it was the best three days I have had! :) Take a great book, and ENJOY!

I went to jury duty a couple of months ago. I was nervous to be called, but all I got to do was sit in the big room all day and watch 2 movies on a huge screen with a break for lunch in between! They never got to me although many people were called from the room about every half hour or so. :)
