The people in charge of the jury room are almost certainly underpaid. Not only must they answer a wild mix of clueless, aggrieved, and perfectly reasonable questions over and over and over again, and ride herd on jurors, and be cheerful, but they seem to spend a large amount of time calling courtrooms and demanding information, which is apparently only to be had by the exercise of some undefined magical power only achievable under the lash of extreme annoyance.
Anyway, they did their magic today and we all got to go home at 12:30.
There are very few of us left. The second-weekers are on call-in, so the jury pool per se is not denuded, but if they call up people from us newbies first tomorrow, I don't see how any of us will escape. Perhaps everybody will just settle. But I doubt it.
I feel happier now that I have had some sleep, and now that I know the drill -- which bus, what time, do everything possible in the evening, not in the fog of morning. I even make a cup of tea in the evening and stick it in the refrigerator so I have cold tea in the morning.
I still don't feel very smart, though. I just don't operate on corporate time.
