There were 30 of us – potential jury members. Only one trial today. And the miscreant copped a plea. So, after hanging around for 4 hours we collected our $30 (in cash) and left. And, I can use the $30 to replace upgrade my USB ethernet dongle to a Thunderbolt version.
We don’t have to show up tomorrow. Tomorrows miscreants decided not to trust their fate to a bunch of latte sipping, Wall Street Journal reading Boomers and one 20 year old college student. So, no trials tomorrow. Which is good because it is going to be really cold. And, I wasn’t looking forward to walking the 3 blocks from the subway to the court house.
The coffee in the jury room was excellent and the wifi was wicked fast. The $30 lagniappe. All things considered – an OK way to spend Monday morning. Since I don’t have a paying job to go to, that is.
Peg,
Glad you escaped a long trial and received dongle bucks. ( As opposed to a trial involving professional dongle wrangling – grin.) Now if you can go to Hawaii so the rest of us can vicariously enjoy your pictures. While driving our cold electric cars to work in 5 degree weather.
