30. I had jury duty for a capital murder trial that could have lasted a very long time.
I spent all day from early morning to late afternoon filling out forms and answering very personal questions. There is no way my employer would have tolerated a long trial. I was being told to probably lose my job and house because some guy got high and probably murdered someone.

I noted that I would do my duty and that I could be fair but that the potential impact on my life was unreasonably high.
