Civic Obligation

Posted on Tuesday 29 November 2005

Having been summoned to serve jury duty under penalty of delinquency (and possibly community service/fine/jail time as well), I showed up at Suffolk Superior Courthouse this morning.

So now I get to sit in judgment on a civil matter, 6-8 business days of joy listening to lawyers…fun fun…

The really bad part is that I’m sitting in front of my computer, and the little Google search bar in the top corner of Firefox’s window is tempting me — but I’m not supposed to do any research on the case, the parties in the case, or anything else related to it. So though I have a wealth of information at my finger tips, I’m barred from actually taking advantage of that. Restraining my curiosity until the whole thing is over is going to drive me nuts!
