Jury Duty - Page 6

Morrigoon · 01-11-2007, 03:00 PM

All this fart talk makes me think of an interesting question... with my stomach issues, it can hit me at any time and leave me stuck in the restroom for extended periods (read: hours) of time. I wonder if telling them that would get me excused?

Of course, I'd have to actually show up first....

You might get tossed just because no one wants to hear anyone talk about their bowel problems.

<PSA> Please, if you have IBS or other disgusting problems, keep them to yourselves. Coworkers, friends, and people standing behind you in line at various public places will think better of you for it.

Hahaha.... I'm not about using the TMI card to get out of things!

Last year I was able to use a financial hardship card (sole wage earner, no jury pay) via mail - I never had to go in. Simple and painless.

I actually would like to serve (I'm weird that way), it just has too much of an impact on a small company (especially since I am the "go-to guy" for, well, everything).

Is it just me, or does the court system have a knack for picking the least opportune time to call you in for jury duty? I recently got my summons, and they want me to call March 16th to be told my schedule for the following week.

Of course, that Monday night I'm flying up to Monterey to spend Tuesday and Wednesday at a seminar which has been paid for for some time. Bastards. What the hell am I going to do?

request a rescheduled time?

Morrigoon · 02-11-2007, 12:00 AM

Gonna have to, I guess. Pity of it is, I'm actually interested in it.

I go in March 5th. I wish San Diego had the phone in system. Here you have to show up. And they don't provide any parking, you're on your own.

Use the eff word a lot. They'll excuse you for that.

We have the phone in system. There is parking, but on the opposite side of 4 traintracks than the courthouse. They make it clear that being late due to the train is not an excuse for being late. It wouldn't be too bad if the trains were simply passing through, but they are on their way to the train station/train yard and are either slowing and stopping or barely picking up speed.
