jury duty

[simplyn2deep]

for my jury duty service, there's an online juror orientation that takes about an hour (!!!!) and if I do it, I can go in later on the first day of court, if I have to go in at all. So instead of having to be there at 7 or 8 am, I'd get to go in at 9 or 10 am. This is good. The courthouse is like a 1.5-2 hr bus & train trip away.

I also have until 10 pm on June 17 (my service time starts June 18) to complete the orientation. I have 19 days so I'll get it done sometime.

Have errands, but currently reading the newest chapter of deepbluemermaid's Family Business. so once I finish that, I'll go out to face the day...or something like that. heh

Totally do the online orientation. It's boring, yeah, and it's basically watching videos that are 10 minutes long (and answering a question or two after each video), but it beats waking up earlier to get to jury service if you get called in. Afterwards, you also get a little certificate to print out that says you completed orientation.

oh I am. I have this irrational (?) fear that the one time I don't do an online orientation (optional or required) is the one time someone official is going to ask to see it or something and I won't have it. so I end up saving them to my hard drive or printing them out if it's required for me to take

They wouldn't. Instead, they'd just make you sit through orientation at the courthouse. But I totally get what you're saying. I have weird fears like that.
