Today in numbers...

• Number of "Not In Service" trains I saw at rush hour: 2
• Number of trains I took to get to and from the courthouse: 4
• Number of buses I was supposed to take: 2
• Number of buses I took: 0
  
• Number of buses I saw go by in the direction I needed: 0
  
• Number of miles I walked today: 2.8
• Number of people who had jury duty: hundreds
• Number of policemen I saw running full tilt after a criminal on my lunch break: 3 -5. It was an amazing commotion. Noted: if you are running from police and there is a choice between a revolving door and a handicapped door - go handicapped. That revolving door slows down momentum ten-fold.
• Number of "panels" called for actual jury duty: 3 (panel is just a random group of people. We all chose a number out of a bucket upon arrival)
• Number of panels: at least 12
• Number of times my panel was called: 0
• Difference between my number and the three called, in order called: 10, 3, 1 (I was convinced that if a fourth was called it would be my number)
• Money I made: $17.20
• Which works out to a whopping $3.13 an hour (I was there for about 5 hours total).
