What a morning.

Today I did my civic duty reporting in for Jury Duty. That meant I sat around for hours waiting for the panels to be called so they could select the jury.

Just as they sat us in the courtroom to decide the jury, the fire alarm went off.

After evacuating to the park, hanging around for a while and then being given the all clear to return, we sat for another 20 minutes to be called to the courtroom again.

When the sheriff got up and addressed the room of potential jurors, instead of telling us we had to return to the courtroom, she sent us all home.

So a half day of civic duty amounted to all of nothing.

As I said: what a morning!
