A bunch of useless crap
Published on June 11, 2006 By MasonM In Blogging
Yesterday's mail included a sumons to appear for jury duty. These are generated from driver's license records. I should think they'd realize that someone with a Commercial License is not very likely to even be home to see such a summons for a long time, let alone be around to appear. It's just sheer luck that I happened to be home when it came.

I haven't even opened it yet so don't know when I am supposed to be there. My work requires me to be out of the state most of the time, and dealing with this is going to be a real pain in the ass I'm sure. I'm scheduled to leave back out on the road Monday or Tuesday. I suppose I'll just try to call them on Monday and tell them I can't do it as I'll be out of the state.

Yeah, I know. I just opened it and they included a form to be filled out to be excused. I'll just fill it out and let them know I'll be out of state. That should do.

Out of state?  Pshaw!  That is what the internet is for!

I wish I'd get picked for jury duty!!

We move so much though...my license is ever changing and I don't think they'll ever catch me.

I think it would be fun to get a juicy trial....well maybe not. Have you seen jurors interviewed after a big case? They look wired and very unhappy.

Oh well.....

Well, I have two problems with this. Firstly, my job keeps me out of the state most of the time, and secondly it's in Tampa and as I don't own a car I'd really have no way to get there even if I was home.

Jury duty sucks. You never get to serve at a convenient time. I served on a murder trial and it was very interesting but it was the week before Christmas and I had just recovered from having a broken leg. It totally sucked!

I wouldnt want to be a jury... to decide on the future of somebody... I'd rather someone else did it! I hope you can be excused! Would be too much of a hassle otherwize!
