Jury Duty: Day 4

It's 10:00 and we haven't started yet. We're waiting on them to
complete a list of the charges before we go into the courtroom. So I
sit here and wait.

The most entertaining thing has been a guy yelling at his lawyer out
in the hall. I can also watch a basketball game being played on the
roof of the jail across the street.

Thank you, whoever invented the iPhone.

Did you know...

Did you know that the 353rd District courtroom has .....

Approx 1,500 sq ft
374 ceiling tiles
16 parabolic 2'x4 lights
12 sprinkler heads
13 speakers
Poorly done woodwork (you can see all the nail holes)
Uncomfortable jury chairs
2'x2 Armstrong "Dune" ceiling tile in fineline grid
4 a/c grilles
It's own restroom
A temporary judge
Cheap blue carpet


And yes I am paying attention. There a just a lot of pauses in the
action.

Jury Duty

I'm in Day 3 of jury duty. They say it is supposed to be done
tomorrow. This one has been semi-interesting so far, but I can't say
much about it until it's over.

They give is 1 1/2 hours for lunch. Yesterday I walked over to
Wahoo's. Today might be The Screaming Goat.
