Kinda sad. I'm at my local courthouse, doing jury duty, and all I can do is wait until 5 in the afternoon, maybe longer. At least I have my smartphone.

Wouldn't posting to the internet during trial hours piss off the judge?

Well, yeah, but I actually haven't been at trial. See, what happened today was more of the court finding a jury from people: People register themselves after being called by mail, then are stuck waiting in a few places from 8 in the morning till 5 in the afternoon or when there's no more cases that warrant a jury. (There were 81 cases today, but that's on the low side. 140 cases in a day is average and ~200 was the highest number.) That's when you're free to use the internet and whatnot, and in my case, the court supplies the internet too.
Then a list of names are called, sending you to a courtroom which has a case that needs a jury, but that's just to find people who have no "hardships", or reasons why you can't attend this trial on a daily basis. I'm probably excused, since I do have finals coming up on the expected dates of the trial, and they know I'm a full-time student.

I had no idea anyone could wait an entire day. When I served/was summoned, my group was selected immediately. Though the last time, the jurors in my group that were not picked had to go to another case, because they were short on members.

Oh yeah, that's happened before with my parents. Man, should have grabbed my books and read them, it was boring just sitting down. Couldn't even sleep because the chairs were pretty uncomfortable.
