I really enjoyed it. I also liked using this experience because I felt, I could choose from a lot of really "powerful" experiences but mostly kind of depressing ones, or I could just tell about an average day, and neither of them really seemed like a good choice to me. At the mini-meet-up or right after I had the idea that I could document my day in court and share something both unusual, and maybe potentially educational or valuable. After all, most people probably only go to court a few times in their lives. It's both unusual and nerve-wracking. Why not share?

I did think a lot while at the court about how there's practically no one at court who's having a good day. The Loss Prevention guys were clearly pretty old hat about it, but besides them, you know, you're almost guaranteed not to interact with any happy people. (Except the employees.)
