Jury Duty

For the first time ever I was not totally annoyed to be summoned for jury duty, mainly because work is pretty slow right now, but also because I got assigned to the Hollywood courthouse which is in walking distance of my place and could lead to me getting assigned to a celebrity trial, since they tend to avoid the big downtown location. The way it works here is that you call in every evening and they tell you if you need to report the next day. I wasn't asked to show up today but perhaps tomorrow. Fortunately if they never call me this week I don't need to serve again for at least a year, however they seem to summon me pretty regularly so I can expect to go through this again soon.
