Jury Duty, Are You Kidding Me?

[canyonwalker]

A week ago I got a summons for jury duty. It was for the week of Thanksgiving. I already have travel plans for the week so I requested a postponement. I got my new notice the other day. It's for... the week of New Year.

I was like, "Are you freaking kidding me?" They move me from the week of one major US holiday when a lot of people travel to the week of another major US holiday when a lot of people travel. Hawk and I already had penciled-in travel plans around New Year. I guess we'll have to cancel those as I don't think I can get a second postponement on jury duty.

If it's like my last two (only two) times of jury service, they'll waste a few days of my time sitting in court before dismissing me without even getting to voir dire. What I really want is not to get out of service after sitting in court for 2 days by disqualifying myself to the judge but to reschedule the likely waste of my time to a non-holiday week. I'm not sure there's a paved-path way to do that.
