I don’t know about Florida specifically, but in my experience…

Show up at the courthouse or wherever your reporting location is. You will have to go through metal detectors/security similar to an airport. Bring a book or something to entertain yourself, there will be a lot of waiting around.

Everyone reporting for jury duty will get signed in and sit in a big boring room. You may be in this room for hours. Court officials will call a group of 20-40 people by name or juror number and lead you into a courtroom. A judge will give you basic details of the court case and ask if anyone has any disqualifying circumstances (you’re the sole income provider for your family, you’re a student and it’s finals week, the case involves a profession or industry that you’re part of, you personally know one of the people involved, etc…). Both lawyers will ask your group questions to determine if they want you on the jury or not. This isn’t a one-on-one interview, it’s more “Raise your hand if you think insurance companies are the bad guys,” or “does anyone here have really strong opinions about sexual abuse?”

If you get selected to participate on that jury, you’ll stay behind and get further instructions from the judge about the trial and when you’re to report back next. They should give you a general idea of how long they expect the trial to last. If you’re not selected, you may be released immediately or you may get led back to the holding area until you’re called for selection on a different trial. This process could repeat several times. It all depends on what the case load for the courthouse is that week. You may get lucky and get released as soon as you check in if they’ve filled all their juries for the week already (I had this happen once), but since you’re showing up on a Monday I wouldn’t bank on it.

Before you’re released, you should get a piece of paper that acknowledges you’ve fulfilled your jury duty and something to show your employer to prove you weren’t just playing hooky from work.

Bring a book. Be patient. Expect it to take most of the day.

I ain’t gots nowhere else to go.

In an impromptu conversation this doesn’t bother me as much, but if you’re running a meeting or giving a prepared briefing, don’t say uh or uhm all the time. One, because you should know the material you’re presenting, but mainly because I’m easily distracted and will just start counting how many times you say uh instead of paying attention to the actual information.

I would rather not.

You gonna do all that without even reversing the polarity of the deflector dish? Your funeral, man.

If God wanted those citizens to afford property, homes, or rent, they would have been born rich.

I’m sure Melania Trump’s ghostwriter has strong opinions about abortion rights. Don’t give a shit what Melania’s are.

Genuinely surprised they haven’t called for jus primae noctis yet.

Yay we are saved…

But hey, at least we got to sell more ad space by printing another article about it…

Mermaids aren’t furry.

I sure hope that is the case, but I pessimisticly fear a weak response to the next Jan 6 attempt because taking steps to put down a violent insurrection is “too political.”

Here’s a more in-depth article, with pictures.

“No leaks. . . . This is how we know we’re a real family here.”

As opposed to what?

Cavity searching the students is genuinely their recommendation.

Dude, no teeth! Take the hint from your Navy cousins.
