Ever wonder why many people dread it when they are called for jury duty?  I personally wouldn't mind serving on one. I think it would be interesting but they never choose me. I wonder why? Anyway, I was called for duty this morning.  Got there at 8:30am, paid $8 for parking. They made everyone watch an instructional video, we were sworn in then they said "ok we're taking a break until 9:30".  What? We get there at 8:30 just to wait some more? Then at 9:40 they said....you guessed it.... "thanks for your patience..blah, blah, blah... but we're going to be a little bit longer. We'll take another break.  Please be back by 10:30.  What is up with that? This goes on and on. Then finally they say "when we call your number you are excused."  You got it. They called my number.  My entire morning wasted. They really do need to come up with a more efficient way to weed out potential jurors don't you think?

Saul will they still give you the 5 dollas or whatever it is now for serving? LOL

my husband gets a summons at least 1 time a year but has never been picked to serve, i'm glad they don't contact me.

I believe it's 7 dollars. I won't spend it all in one place.

You can catch me on Good Day every morning from 5am-9am reporting on anything and everything. You can also find me getting to the bottom of "What's Buggin' You?", a Monday night feature on Fox 4 News at 9pm. Hard to believe that 2007 marks my 8th year at Fox 4 and 15th year in TV news.
