Served on a jury yesterday.

[BLUNT]

So about 3 Mts. ago I got a summons to report for possible jury duty. I am in sales so needless to say I was p!ssed- (100% commission). I live in Canton, MI which is in Wayne county and as people who live in wayne county can tell you if you get called to serve it is almost always in Detroit. I get there at 7:45 and sit in the jury pool room praying they dont call me. Well I get called in the first group to go up to the court room....Fu@k!!!!! We go up and sure enough out of the 28 of us in our group I get called to serve....Fu@k. Detroit has a 1 day or 1 trial system. Since I got picked I figured I'd make the best of it. I've got to tell you.......Not bad. With all the negative press our court system in America gets, I can say from experience that I saw it work and am impressed. I guess bottom line is don't hide from your civic duty. When you think of all the men and women in uniform laying their LIVES down to serve our country, this is the very least we can do to serve our fellow citizens. I learned alot and will not cringe the next time I get the oppertunity to serve.
