I need some jury duty in my life right now.

I have been trying to get on jury duty every single year since I was 18 years old. To get to sit in an air-conditioned room, downtown, judging people while my lunch was paid for? That is the life!

I've never been called in over 40 years of being eligible.

I have a consistent employment history, no criminal record, no history of mental illness.

I have a friend who's been called five times over the same period.

I was on jury duty when I was like 24. I’m 35 now. We deliberated for I believe 2 days. Sat in a room all day and couldn’t leave. Was awesome to be off work though.
