Is Jury Duty Ever Convenient?
I've been an adult for over 2 decades now & not once have I ever been called to jury duty. I've had some jobs from which jury duty would have seemed a vacation. My husband had jury duty a few years back and found it interesting. It was a medical malpractice case.
But now that I have no childcare, I get called to jury duty. And when do I have to appear exactly? The 27th. And who is it that is coming to town on the 25? My step-daughter whom I haven't seen in 2 years and my husband hasn't seen in 4, with her husband and our grandson. I mean, really, could the timing be any worse?
Of course there's no phone number to call & beg for one more week to appear. I guess every person would call & do just that if there were.

Apparently if you want to be excused from service, you have to submit the request in writing.

I enjoyed it, myself, but yeah, it'll be difficult for you when you have a child to take care of, and of course when we happen to be coming down to visit. :(

I need to blog this, but today was my husband's last day of jury duty and he had to go to the courthouse only two days. The first day he got a badge and was sent home. He had to call every night and hear a recording telling him if he had to come in our not. He didn't until yesterday, almost two weeks after it started. He sat through a selection process, where he wasn't picked.
