Jury Duty - 9:30 AM - Patriotic Video

They called people up to the front desk who have a "language problem". I assume that anyone that actually has such a thing would not really understand what that euphemism means. They also passed out vouchers for parking at the Performing Arts Garage on Grove street; my parking fee is only $5 for the whole day.

They started playing a video to pump us up about serving on a jury and to explain a little bit of the overall process. It's accompanied by lots of patriotic music and heartfelt testimonies.

I've been involved in a trial in the past, and it is true: it's a compelling and emotional experience. However, I have no wish to repeat that now, and I certainly doubt that a civil trial would be either of these.
