Yesterday's mail brought one of those lovely items which starts out:
"You are hereby summoned by the FIRST CIRCUIT COURT, State of Hawaii to appear for JURY SERVICE."
This is not the first time. It's a different court this time (hey, maybe parking is better than the other time!), but still....twice in ten years?
On the bright side, I took the beastie in to have her stitches removed this morning. She's getting much better about hopping into cars without prodding.
Posted by Linkmeister at June 14, 2002 10:52 PMGlad to see you back up. Hey, jury duty? Aren't you not eligible due to your current employment status? Anyone who's freelance/self-employed gets dismissed....I'm pretty sure. I got duty two years in a row in L.A. and got out of it both times.

Jury duty ?
Pretty sure they choose you twice, cause they need clever Eeyores !!
Glad Tigger is fine now.
Site "hacking" problems totally resolved now ?
00 Did you know that Bette works for a "thermal paper" Company ? (grins)

"Jury Duty"
by Supertones
from their 2000 album, Loud and Clear
5 am on Tuesday
why am I up so early
drive out to Santa Ana 'cause I've got jury duty
no breakfast short tempered
and I cut my head shaving
ten miles out I hit traffic
some days just aren't worth saving
You know I haven't had the best of days
But I want to stop and thank You anyway
At the courthouse I waited
And waited then I waited
At lunchtime my car stalled out
I couldn't get it started
Had a book by C.S. Lewis
I finished the last page and
Slept on my desk for three hours
Just like my high school days
You know I haven't had the best of days
But I want to stop and thank You anyway
Cuz every single moment whether sleeping or awake
Is You creation
At what You've made is good
I don't always thank for you for the rough days and
the hard times in my life
even though I should
Got home and decided I'd be in a bad mood and
My shy and quiet wife said she didn't like my attitude
Got a call from my mother
Forgot my sister's birthday
I'm a lousy older brother safe to say I've had a bad day
Different localities, different rules. Last time I was on a jury, I was unemployed. They didn't care; in fact, they thought it was great...I couldn't whine about missing work and all the things I should have been doing.
