The Verdict is In, but not from Me

Today was my day for jury duty. Last night I called and was informed that I was on standby. Following orders, I called back at around noon, when I was informed that I was excused and had fulfilled my obligation. As interesting as it might have been, I didn't really want to do it. I don't know if I'd even make a good juror. I have the attention span of a small kitten, and would have found it hard to pay attention, which wouldn't be fair to anyone. So it was probably the best for everyone involved.

I would be a TERRIBLE juror. I have the attention span of a goldfish.

@boiboing - Oh, sorry. It's a Disney animated movie about a Clown Fish that has to find son Nemo. Dory is a fish with no short term memory and no attention span.

I should have used Dory from Finding Nemo as my example.

I find it very difficult to focus on things that don't interest me.

You didn't have to do it. Relief found you. The stress is over.

It is nice to know that I don't have to go down there, that is for sure.

Jury duty isn't the most fun I've ever had. And if I were being tried, I wouldn't want someone with the attention of kitten sitting in judgement.

Not to mention, I very well could nod off during the proceedings. It's just better for everyone that I didn't make it.

Yeah, I really didn't want to sit there in a courtroom for who knows how many days.

I've never served on a jury and it's probably better that I don't. I'm not good at being impartial and looking at the facts only.

This would have been a first for me.
