Juror Duty - The First Time in Life

Today, I served as a juror to the Wayne County Court located in Downtown, Detroit. When I reached the assembly room on the first floor of the court building at about 7:35 (see, 7+3+5=15, which can be reduced to 6 because 1+5 = 6), I felt happy. When I reached there, about 20 people already arrived.  While I was on the line to check in, a lots of people came. At about 8:30, all people (about 90-100) were checked in.  People all sat in the assembly room waiting, while some went to a cafeteria to get coffee, cookies. About 9:00, the receptionists started to announce who should to go which court.  All these people were called in 8 groups, each was directed to a specific courtroom was instructed to wait outside of the courtroom till being asked to get in.

The waiting time varied from 30 minutes to 2 hours. It was the waiting period makes this duty so exciting.  A few persons were so anxious (may be want to get into the court), some looked very angry, staring at the ground, some were easy-going, some chatting with someone they never met before, some simply take this time to have a nap, some were reading, some had no emotion on the face... Finally, the courtroom was opened, a clerk came out and checked us in one at a time.  The rest was simply routine... It was the waiting time that made my juror duty so special. I will receive $25 by presenting as a juror. This is  not a luck number - Jurors' time is not well used, people spent most time on waiting! It will be great if someone can do some to improve it.
