Yes... but unfortunately I'm starting the new year with Jury Service so won't get to apply said motivation.

I did jury service a couple of years ago, (coincidently in January too). I found it all fascinating. Lots of waiting around though. I was lucky with the case I got, was a non-violent drugs bust. Fingers crossed that you don't get a heavy case... although I'm told that tax fraud cases are the ones to avoid; boring and can go on for ages. 😬

I highly suggest a switch/DS. I had one case Id rather forget and the other was fine. Good luck

Here's hoping it's not too mad. Fortunately my ADHD has me well trained for boredom avoidance! I have a Retroid Pocket, laptop, tablet, headphones, power bank and a copy of Wired in my bag.

Are you allowed connectivity at all? I know only things from what I see on TV in America, I guess you have to promise not to google the specific case, but unless it's high profile you wouldn't need to go fully offline right?

when I did it, you could use internet in the waiting room/area (obviously nothing noisy), so I did bits of work on my laptop from there... but you had to be immediately ready to go when they call you (I'd seen a couple of people getting told off for delaying things).

Yeah, we have WiFi in the waiting area. Pretty fast too.

Well thank you for doing your civic duty Jason! Not that you really get a choice!

One of the advantages (maybe the only advantage) of working for the Court Service all those years ago - I was on the "don't contact" list 😄
