I went about a month ago and got dismissed... didn't have to go back.

I sat, fell asleep in the chair (about 60% of the people there were out cold), the girl started calling names and didn't call mine. Then she said "If I didn't call your name, we don't have a trail for you at this time, you are free to go and your jury duty requirement is fulfilled". Got home about 10:30 and did not a damn thing all day since I was already off work.

The 2 hours I was there were some of the most painfully boring hours of my life.

Still got my $15 for that day though

I wasn't really worried about it. 2 hours there and a paid day off work... fine with me.

I've never had Jury Duty in GA before but I know in SC it changes if you actually serve. You get more pay plus mileage.
