Sorry for the misspelling - I am a Star Wars neophyte.

Sorry if my post looked like a spelling rant...it was meant to be a silly faux-rant on behalf of sad, Star Wars-minutiae-obsessed geeks.

Jury Duty - I'm supposed to report at the end of the month. I'm torn between wanting to actually be on a jury once and wanting to get paid. Can't do both.

We get paid for jury duty, and we get to keep the meagre jury duty allowance. (They gave up trying to collect the $10 from people.) I've only gotten to serve once, as the three other times I've been summoned was during a finals period of some sort and they elected not to reschedule me.

I was summoned once when I'd lived in Washington for 10 or 11 months. At the time, you had to be a resident of the county for a year to serve (the law changed and would have allowed me to serve 10 days earlier)
I was also summoned shortly before I moved from Oregon the last time, but would have been the day or two before I went on a scheduled vacation, so I asked to postpone it. By the time I got called back, I'd moved her to Louisiana. I haven't been summoned yet here in Louisiana. I do get paid for it (I think they've given up on collecting the $ here, too - though I don't know how much they pay in my Parish), and would generally be willing to serve - but I would SOOO much rather be on a civil case than a criminal one. I had an aunt killed by her boyfriend years ago, and always figured I'd use that as my 'card' to get out of an icky criminal case. It's been over 16 years now, though (yikes, it doesn't seem that long) so I don't know how well that would fly - AND around here, I'm not really anxious to throw a wrench in any part of the criminal just system. |

I was picked for a jury once, DUI case. I heard two days of testimony then went on a 3 day holiday weekend. By Tuesday I blindly drove myself to work and totally blanked on visiting the courtroom!
![]() It's probably the blondest moment this natural brunette has ever had. ![]() Ironically, I forgot to mention in the selection that my uncle is an alcoholic who spent many years in prison for repeated DUIs. Duh.

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.... ![]()

Missed it by that much..

If I get called for Jury Duty, it does not benefit us as well. Luckily, I have family in Law Enforcement, and sometimes I get the same judge that knows my family.
So those are my "Get out of Jury Duty" cards. ![]()
