So I'm actually a big fan of jury duty. I mean, it's an opportunity to take a break from work for something more noble than just mental health, you get to see how the justice system works from the safe side, and you might get to read all day.

What I don't like is waiting hours and hours just to be told that my services are not needed. In the 16 years since I became a registered voter and started getting summoned to jury duty, I have been called several times and served only once. Every time (except that once), I wait forever in a dull room, maybe with a good book, usually on a bright and sunny day, for someone to tell me if I have to come back or not.

Today it was 3 hours with a so-so book and a very uncomfortable chair.

There has to be a better way. Could you work on that? Thanks!!
