This is the last microblog for the day!
Saved by the bell!
The judge came by around 345PM and announced that no more jurors were needed for any cases, therefore we are all free to go! Ofcourse, we can't simply leave! We have to sit around and wait to get our letters that indicated we completed our civic duty. How does this work
In Kings County, NY, also known as Brooklyn NY, jurors are called in every 8 years. The reason why is because there are a lot of people who can serve, and most people show up for their dates. In other counties, there are not enough people, and their local court might be far away from them, so you may not even have enough jurors to pick from.
The great thing about today was that I got a chance to get on steemit and just go ham with writing whatever I felt like and I gave some thought to how to promote my content next on steemit.
Some thoughts about marketing myself on STEEM
I've got some earnings from startsteem and I opened a spreadsheet to track if this is profitable or not. So this is what I'm going to do. I'm going to start buying upvotes again, but I'm going to try to make it a close loop system where I am using the SBD earnings from my post and the SP earnings from my post to pay for the upvote purchases.
Since SP is locked in for 13 weeks, I'm going to power down the exact amount that I expect to get each week, for example, if I plan on doing 5 post a week, and spend 100 STEEM per a post, that is 500 STEEM spent per week, netting approximately 250 STEEM returned to me and 250 SBD (give or take).
If spending 100 STEEM gets me trending, then I can possible earn say, an extra 100 STEEM. I will then also power down 250x13SP or 3250 STEEM.
I know that buying upvotes is a bit of a tricky thing here, but it's a publicity issue and I wont be buying from bots, rather Ill be buying direct from users on @smartsteem!
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed my microblogging about shitting my pants!
Here's a photo of the day! From the snowstorm that hit NY about a month ago!
Hey Moto!
Glad you survived your bowel trial and that you're already thinking about world domination again!
Will accompany your journey up.
Cheers

counties* not countries!
They said that if the supreme court is far from where most people live, then travel time becomes an issue and most people miss their jury duty because of that. or they postpone. hence they have to call more people, which makes the time in between as little as 4 years rather than 8!

For vote selling 100%, from delegations I only get about 2sbd a day for 500sp that I delegate to them. So whatever time frame you want to use.

Glad you made it through, jury duty can be a horrible PIA. Here they call you as needed, so you can get it fairly often. The last one I was in the pool on was a capital case so I got a 2 year exemption from any sort of duty.
I'll be watching with interest to see how your upvote program works for you...

Ahhh, just a question but how far do you live from the courthouse? Does that distance play a role in why it's 2 years? Or is it more about population?

Population plays a huge part. Our annual population for the county is like 200,000. Our winter population is 500,000. And the age of the population. Everybody over 75 is exempt, over 10% of the population.
You are called for a panel. Each panel is for 6 months. The judges and DA estimate the pool need for each trial. I've had a lot of panels that I didn't even have to go to the courthouse. It's not so bad, except for making plans :)

It's really interesting how internally diverse this country is. Beyond it's people but the variation of laws, etc. Fascinating...

I'm from a country that doesn't use a jury and the judge is the only authority in a courtroom. I always want to be part of a jury, how does it feels?
