Yarrgh.

So, they pulled a group of 80 of us - for a 12+2 person jury. 0_o

Then we wandered around in tunnels for a while, including a pass through a metal detector.

Then we got lined up to go into a courtroom. Then we actually went into the courtroom.

Then we stared at these eight white guys, age range roughly 30-65, I'd guess. (So, not Women & Minorities vs. The Man, this time; it's just The Man all the way down.)

Then the judge came out and explained that we were all going to fill out a three-page questionaire. Then we were all going to go home, and come back on Monday, after the eight white guys read all eighty questionaires and decided which ones of us were Right Out. Then, on Monday morning, they'd ask us all questions in person, and we'd find out which of us were the unlucky 17.5% who got to stay.

For what the eight white guys estimate will be a four-week trial.

*groans, rolls around on floor*

I'm doomed. Doooooooooooooomed.

And I can't, absolutely can't, miss the first two weeks of school for the Eight White Guys Show. This is so not okay.

*rolls on the floor some more to emhasize how not-okay this is*

Just to make things that much worse, the electrician still hasn't come by to fix the busted circuit in out apartment, so I'm still running my computer off of an extension cord. But at least I Never mind, they just showed up. Shutting the machine back down, now.

Michael routinely puts "Druid" on the blank about religion - seems to work every time.

My dad, when queried by the lawyers or DA, will lean forward slightly and say "I'm sorry, i didn't quite hear that"

Neither has ever been chosen when these have been done. The one time daddy didn't he wound up on a federal jury for MONTHS.
