Once again, I enjoyed my time as a juror and when I got a piece of mail from the Office of the Clerk earlier this week I thought nothing of it. On the outside envelop it has pasted 'official business important information do not discard' front and center. I looked at this envelope and could tell that there were papers inside. My first thought was maybe it was some sort of survey of how I felt about the jury duty process. But, oh was I wrong.
It was a juror selection questionnaire. What. The. Fuck. I've been tabbed again for possible jury selection, but on a larger level. Instead of being on the local level, it's on a state level. Two things came to my mind when I read through it.
1.) This selection process isn't random and it is done using some mathematical algorithm that I do not understand (nor do I care to).
2.) I was fucking awesome as a juror and word got out so they want to call me up to the show.
Oh yes, jury duty has a minor league and major league system. If you can hack it in the local court rooms, you can hack it anywhere. So, the possibility that the jury selection is done through some sort of complex math problem is more likely than there being a JDL (Jury Duty League) and that is what I am going with. How is it really done? I have no idea, but to have my name randomly pulled within a few months for two different levels of court systems is suspect. It's like a dark skinned, long haired, fully bearded college kid getting randomly selected for addition screening.
As they explained how our names got pulled for jury duty it got me thinking that I want to live in a tent in the woods. Or maybe a cabin. It's done through your driver's license being in the system and the fact that you are a registered voter.
So, if you need a reason to live off of the grid, this is it. GET OUT NOW!
