Will You Miss Me?
I might be gone for the next two weeks. If I'm lucky, I'll only be gone tomorrow. It depends on whether or not I'm assigned a case.
Yes, I get to play juror again. This time they explained in advance that if I'm assigned to a jury for a case, even if for just part of a day, they won't call me again for three years. But if they don't put me on a jury they could call me again in a fast 365 days.
Cases rarely last the full two weeks. The one I was on, the only other time I had jury duty, hardly lasted three hours until we were out the door, verdict duly delivered. That was enough to earn me three years of freedom.
They told me to come in on May 21 but they said I could come in two weeks early or late without bothering to inform them in advance. I have a doctor's appointment May 22 and a lot of classes I want to take from May 13 on. That's why I'm going in tomorrow. There will be only three classes at risk that way and the chances are good that I can attend all three of them.
Of course, with my notorious contrary luck I'll probably get some celebrity murder case that will last seventeen months.

Strange coincidence. I've been called for May 22 jury duty as well. Although they delivered the notice to Keya's place, not mine. I wonder if that gets me off the hook....
yes! you'll be missed! i've never been called. it's like i don't exist
ah, Jury Duty...what a drag.
