My Civic Dootie

I'm sitting in the San Mateo County Courthouse waiting to find out if I must serve Jury Duty (Dootie). I've been here since 8am, just waiting. They've got a couple hundred folks here. We're all watching Price is Right together. It's a little surreal. On the plus side, I've got wifi access so I can spend my idle time blogging and doing other nonsense. Just as long as it isn't work. ;)

By the way, I just found out that you can be called for jury duty more than once every 12 months if your driver's license and your voter registration name appear different in any way. That means John B. Smith and John Bob Smith are treated as two totally different people. The solution? You can change the voter registration to match your drivers license. Technology marches on, but government does not.
