I think I have a love hate relationship with mail. I love opening my mailbox to find a letter from a friend, a package from mom, or an item that I have ordered from Amazon. There is always a bit of energy in the air as I thumb through it to see what I got that day. Then there are always letters that I immediately get a bad feeling about; Excel Energy, Chase Credit Cards, Allstate. The list could go on, but I know before I open them that money is going to be involved. Letters from the state dental board always get me a little nervous too (don’t anyone worry, they have all been informational letters.)
This week I got a letter from Boulder County. I’ve been summoned for Jury Duty! What?!@ I don’t want to be on Jury Duty. Luckily the date I am supposed to appear was during the week I will be out of the country. (topic of another blog in the near future.) I had to send them an explanation stating my excuse, but I had to include dates that I would be available. So it looks like I will only be able to postpone the inevitable, rather than evade it.
I’m looking for advise for when they interview me to make it clear I wouldn’t be a very good juror. I could pretend I’m a bigot of some sort, or maybe just bring my Bible and hold it under my arm the entire time. If I have to serve I will, but I’m going to make it clear that I will be kicking and screaming the entire time. I’ve got enough drama in my life right now and certainly don’t need more.

I too love great mail. Jury duty! I think that sounds like fun! A good person with good morals-they need you! Sure, I know, its a kink in your schedule, but...just think of who you might be defending or prosecuting. I can't wait to hear where you're going out of the country?!!
Just think you might not even get past the phone part of the summons. I have yet to get past that point. I guess just be honest if you do get past that point. Have fun in Guatemala.
Ah Jury Duty... Nothin' like a dose of American justice in the mornin' !
Don't worry. You will never get on a jury. You are too educated. Lawyers don't like folks who can think rationally. Two little letters..."Dr" will help you stay out of jury duty the rest of your life. :)
funny thing, i just got selected for jury duty as well. waiting for that letter to summon me. and they said it was all at random - their picking on us. I'm going to show up in a t-shirt with the confederate flag on them...that should do it here in utah.
Good Times. I served on a jury once. We acquitted a teenager of vehicular manslauter. The prosecuter wasn't very good. It's amazing who they let practice law.
I've finally cracked the code to keeping up on you all.
you cannot go anywhere.
