Remembered something I was wanting to say...
I want to be on a Jury!!
I've been registered to vote since I was 18, about 16.5 years. And I have NEVER even gotten called, much less served on one.
What brought this up is one of my coworkers has been called, for the 2d time since I've been at this store. She's been on call for the past 2 weeks, and Satyrday she came in saying that she had to go in today. Shes'our cosmetician, and our cosmetic wall reset starts tomorrow...
This one is federal, last one was county.
Another coworker has also been on a jury since I've been there.
I don't care what type of case, I just want to be on a jury!!!
(Though I must admit, I'd like to be on a drug case...)

Can be a little boring if you don't have something to read.

2. Education. I am WAY too highly educated. I'm not a sheep that the lawyers can herd one way or another.
After being through this process, I really feel for any poor slob subjected to a "Jury of his peers". He's not getting peers, he's getting village idiots.
