“You are an Important Part of the System”
Jury duty today. I am an important part of the system. I must be happy about that. Why is there always one person (within earshot) in the jury room who insists on collaring the person next to them and talking about themselves incessantly? “I’m really artistic, but I don’t do starving well” Ugh…

I’m 41 and I’ve never been picked for jury duty. I guess I’m not important.

Last year I was on jury duty in the Bronx, and I wrote down that exact same line ("you are an important part of the system") from the training video… because it made me sad.
I actually enjoyed jury duty. I got a lot of reading done. and i took scrupulous notes on the ridiculous things people said around me. and i submitted them to overheardinny.com
