Jury Duty


I don't understand why people hate it and try everything they can to get out of it. I love jury duty.

As of today I'm serving as juror on a case that I'm not allowed to tell you anything about until it's over...but back to why I love it so.

  • I don't have to drive to Roseville

  • I don't have to go to work...in Roseville

  • I don't even have to get in my car to get there (a little WD 40, some air, and my bike is as good as new).
  • I don't have to go to the dreaded city of Roseville.

  • I can try all the different places I've been meaning to go to around downtown for lunch (I had mediocre falafel at Julianas Kitchen today)...I'm taking recommendations for lunch spots...anyone is more than welcome to join me

  • I hate driving to Roseville every day for work, and while serving on jury duty, I don't have to.

  • I get to read a lot (now reading "Dune").

  • Roseville == sucks, Sacramento == sucks less, me == not in Roseville.


Every time I've had jury duty, it makes me think of how better off I'd be if I didn't have to commute to work. The only catch...other than state worker, I don't know what else I'd do. Maybe if I get laid-off, that will be my calling...or not.

i was second alternate a couple years back. kind of felt like a waste of time. as far as lunch: try Osteria on K near 10th. Pasta and pannini place owned by some friends of mine. The Bountiful Market at I and 13th is good for a salad. Crest Cafe actually has decent falafel (they are a bit greasy though). but the atmosphere is kind of icky. Crepeville might be too far for you. Penissi's of course.

I want jury duty! One time I got two days off but they didn't pick me.

I want jury duty too! Can you put in a good word for me with the judge?

i think you'd get more time off if you just kicked Ludacris' ass in a bar bathroom Chi-Chi.
