jury duty - day 2
today was my second day of service, reported to the court building at 9 am. Sat in the jury assembly room, waiting for the country clerk to take attendance. then another clerk came and told us they had 3 cases ready for today, and they would call us in once they got them sorted out. waited another hour, they came again and asked us to move to another big room, separating us from the jurors who were still being questioned about yesterday's case. Waited another while, then the boss county clerk lady came and said that the 3 cases had settled because nobody wanted to go to court the day before ThanksGiving - cool. That means she handed us out our golden ticket: a certificate of having served for 2 days that is good for at least 4 years for federal cases, and 6 years for new york supreme court cases. so, i am off the hook, awesome!
