Wild Card/Weekend — 3.27.10

There's an outbreak of jury duty in the Coeur d'Alene office of The Spokesman-Review. I and two guys in the circulation department got summoned in recent days. I'll be at the mercy of the court from April 19-30. In days gone by, you were dismissed if your panel wasn't called initially and were free from jury duty for two years. This time, I have to keep calling every night to see whether I'm needed for one of the string of trials over two weeks. So the chances are that I'll end up serving. Which might be interesting because I've been summoned several times. But I've never been called to show up at the courthouse for a jury. Or serve on one. I'll keep you posted about this because it'll affect my blogging. You can use this Wild Card to discuss your adventures with jury duty or anything else you want ...
