"every Thursday for 6 months"
Holy crap.
I'm currently in the first few days of a month-long jury service where I'm on-call. Each evening, I have to call in and listen to a recording tell me whether or not I need to be at the courthouse the next day. It was a real shock, expecting to walk in, either be chosen or not chosen for the case(s) that day, and then go home. My entire month is on hold. I was looking forward to being able to possibly nullify some victimless charges, but now I'm just annoyed. I can't even make a plan for the next day until after 5:30pm when I call in and find out if I have to go to court.

I truly cannot imagine being told "every Thursday for six months". I have places to go, parents to visit, etc. and wouldn't be able to serve that.
