jury duty, pt. 2

juldeaNo juror service for me. I was called as part of a pool to be considered for a civil trial, but they filled the 12 necessary seats before I was even called up to answer any questions. Foo. I was one of the (from what I could tell, FEW) people there who WANTED to be a juror, but none for me. Bah.
The knitting got through the front door without even a whisper of a problem, and they were small metal needles (perfect for eyes, muah.) So, I guess Middlesex County is ok with that. I traded off with it and Blood Rites, finishing the latter a few minutes ago, after I got home. Butcher is not quite as bastardly as before - well, I guess I should say he's the same level of bastardly, although he didn't really pull on those strings in this book that 'get' me quite as badly. Some interesting new ones, though. Oh - and I should stop reading the backs of the books before I read the books themselves. This is the multipleth time that I've guessed at what's going on due to the back covers, and I really hate spoilers like that.
In more coincidental news, I saw![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
wickedgoodgrrrl there, who is someone I recognized from the Buttery. She was in a different set of prospective jurors than I was, but we got a little bit of chatting time and she reminded me that the Buttery Birthday happens sometime soon.
All in all, I really REALLY don't understand why people complain so much about jury duty. Yes, I did almost nothing all morning long but read and knit in uncomfortable chairs. But... so? And if I had been chosen, I would've been overseeing MY justice system and making sure they do things right. That's damned well worth a few days in court.
