Jury duty

is such a waste of time. I know it's important and I show up (usually) when I'm called, but it's such a waste. We got there and did all the preliminary stuff. Trotted upstairs to a courtroom - bailiff told us to come back at 12:45, then sit around in uncomfortable chairs for HOURS until the defendants decide to settle. It's all part of the system and it's predicable by those who see it everyday, but man o man. I liked getting off of school, but I hate wasting time. I did use my gift card to get my first ever pedicure during the break and ran some other errands, but still.
