Today I got up bright and early (ok it was still dark out) to head over to the District Court of Cambridge. Here I would serve my first Massachusetts jury duty. Once we all checked in, we watched a very outdated 17-minute video, which explained the ins and outs of the court system. We were now to wait to see if any of the 4 courts needed jurors. At 10 the court officer made an announcement that we could take a break. I didn’t bother going anywhere because I had a pretty good seat to people watch; also because he said we had to be back in 15 minutes. This gave me plenty of time to work on my knitting! It was great, I only got a few strange stares and one lady was like “GOOD IDEA!!” Around noon he announced that numbers 1-30 had to stay and the rest of us could go to lunch, BUT we had to be back in the courtroom at 12:45. Not enough time to run to the mall like I had planned in my head. At quarter to 1 we all got back to the room and the officer announced that all 4 courts had settled their cases today and that we were done for the day!! YEAH!!! Done for the day!! At this point I HEAD TO THE MALL!!!
It was packed and not fun. The only store I wanted to go to was closed for water damage so it was a bummer. I got a couple of things and headed home.
What a great surprise to come home to a HUGE box of Godiva Chocolates. Mmmm check out this fun box. Someone must really love us!!
