crap! I just got called up for jury duty! Again! For the third time I was seated too!  If jury duty was the lottery I'd be a millionaire, but alas it's friggin' jury duty. I'm gettin a whoppin' 40 bux a day.  Now the bad part about this time though is that this time I was seated on a grand jury. For those that don't know, unlike a petit jury where you sit in the jury box for some trial, a grand jury decides if a case (for us, apparently all criminal) should even go to trial by handing down indictments (or not) after being presented with the particulars by prosecuting attorneys.  The thing is, I gotta sit on this jury for half of this particular court's session which is 2 months.  Today alone we heard 13 felony cases, complete w/witnesses and arresting officers...damn, we got a lot of serious crime in our neck of the woods!  my employer isn't too happy about my being picked either. oh well, guess that's the price you gotta pay to vote.
