I will say though that my spirits were lifted though when it talked about compensation--you get $20 or so for the first day and $50 for each day past the first, but the best line comes right after that: "You will also be rewarded with the pride you can take in serving your community." It may not pay the mortgage, but I will be beaming with pride at possibly sitting for days in a courtroom, listening to mind-numbing testimony. Actually, I probably won't even be accepted. Good times.

I got the same letter yesterday. booo!
Mine came in the mail last week. You're handling it much better than I am. Currently finding all and any reasons for exemption.
Weird. Another reader got one too. Hmmmm... jury conspiracy?
Everyone--maybe we will all serve together. We can form our own voting bloc. If we can stay jurors for a few weeks, think about how much money we could bring in ($49 a day!!!!).
I love 30 Rock. It is always offbeat and funny.
