Jury Duty Selection

I was selected for jury duty , one important responsibility (and right) to be American, yesterday.
A good understanding by researching it in advance, but boy a variety of people - age, race, background, etc. and you truely understand that NY is a melting pot of people from everywhere.
Waited to be called for hours (reported at 8:30 and till 4 pm), and finally they dismissed remaining people from jury duty this time. Next potential is in 8 years so not too bad to be sitting there for hours. Plus I was able to enjoy a new book, Gone Girl.
