Jury duty....not

[nlbarber]

I have escaped again. In 10 years of living in DeKalb County, I've been called for jury duty 3 times, I think, and never yet served on a jury. The last time I had to report, hung around for 3 hours or so answering questions ("Who has State Farm insurance?" "Who has Allstate insurance?"--I gather a lot of the docket that day consisted of people suing their insurance companies), and then was dismissed.

I got a summons for tomorrow, but the recording informs me that only jurors 1 to 260 need report. I'm number 426. Under DeKalb's "one day or one trial" system, that means I'm done. Which is good, as there's lots of stuff piled up at work that I need to tackle.
