Jury Duty!! JURY DUTY!?
THIS is what I get for registering to vote, god damnit.

Okay. So setting aside the civic duty part, my jury duty is set for the wednesday after president's day. I have two Monday/Wednesday classes, so it's arguable that there will be much to do, as I won't have had class on monday.

So what do I do? I mean, do I just go? and miss class? Do I write the good people of Lane County with my lame "that day isn't good for me..." problem? Maybe I could ask them to uh... give me a Friday? Don't have any classes on fridays... o-o; got the whole day to be uh... civic.

Can they do that? Can they just give me a specific day?

"Dear sir or ma'am, I'm sorry, I have a classes that day that I would like to not miss unless seriously unavoidable (i.e; illness/accident/freak blizzard) and would like to respectfully request that my jury duty be considered more convinient if it were place on a "friday" before March 19th, 2004. After that, my precarious scheduele changes, as I am a student.

Thank you for your consideration."


How's that? Too lame?
...Well I'll think about it today... I mean there's a chance I wont even be summoned, but oO; ...if I am...what's the likliehood that I'll get there at 8:30 am as requested, and magically be out in time to catch the 11:30 bus out to my 12pm class?

o-o;

Maybe I'd just miss PART of the class... o_o;; aw fuck...

I think you only get the real deal once you go and then they make you sit and wait to have your jurer number called. If its not then you don't have to go back. However your teacher is suppose to give you that extra to make up the work, and if she doesn't then you should be able to get out of Jury Duty. I was just simply out of town and they let me slide on mine. So......It just depends on if you really feel like going.
