as Juror No. 369
I have only been in Texas for about 15 months and already I have jury duty summons! This is crazy. It turned out to be not so bad, but still! The selection process took ALL day and I ended up being skipped over- the 2 people before and after me were picked. I must look biased or racists or maybe its because I'm LDS. Haha. Anyway, it was a criminal case and would have been interesting to watch, but by 3:30 p.m. I was glad to not be selected. Plus, get this. You receive $6 per day for reporting as prospective juror, $10 the day you are selected, and $40 per day thereafter. Crazy! I guess it really doesn't matter for me because I get paid by the Army no matter what. It was a good learning experience and definitely a different atmosphere than I am use to.

Hey GF You have had quite an adventure...sure enjoyed the photos but bring the others to SL when you come. Can't wait to be with you!! xo mom
Jury Duty eh? I was once summoned...never had to report though. Case was canceled or something. I'm excited to see you in a few weeks!
Government stuff always takes forever unless you live in Idaho. I am glad you did not have to spend more time there, however, for me the extra $would be nice only because I have no job.
