know where i have to be in the morning? bright and f-ing early in the morning? jury duty. in the scummiest part of the wonderful nearby city.


i wrote that i was full-time caretaker to two children and one was special needs....apparently they don't give a shit. so now J loses a day of work and they get to meet me in a pissy mood. i may go from juror to being on trial.


damn. damn. damn.


on edit: i found this online:
" All excuses received must be in writing and received at least 10 days prior to your reporting date. Medical excuses must be accompanied by a doctor's note. If you have requested to be excused OR or checked any of the answers in the "RED BOX"' YOU DO NOT HAVE TO REPORT AS SUMMONED! We will contact you in the event that there are any questions regharding your responses or request to be excused."

ok, i don't know if they got it 10 days in advance, but i sent in a request to be excused that met their outlined requirements. so i am not going. as far as i can see, that's what it says and i am sticking to it. feh. i do find the amount of typos on the official government site very amusing...
