Jury Duty...

Slightly out of order...I had jury duty this past week. Between jury selection and the trial itself, I was at the courthouse in Rolling Meadows for two full days.

It wasn't a super juicy trial, just two counts of obstruction and resisting arrest.

Initially, I was irritated to have to miss work, but I embraced the experience and at the end, felt really good about the outcome and my role in the process.



Needless to say, I don't have great pictures but, as proof, here is a [poor] shot of my check—that's right...$17.20 a day for doing my civic duty.

I was on the jury once too and I thought it was pretty fun! Yeah, they are pretty generous about their pay, huh? Mine was only $15.

I will have the pleasure of the jury duty thang in about three weeks... yay...
