F#CK Me with a spoon!

So I had jury duty yesterday and of course my damn panel number get's called.  Get into the court room to find out it's a pretty damn big case in IL.  I had to fill out a 50 page questioner (sp, I know) and return to the court house on Saturday at 8:30.  I don't want to say what case it is but they mentioned that it could be at least a 4 week trial.

I don't know what the hell I would do if I get put on this case.  First and foremost, who will watch David on W and Th?  Secondly, there is the thing called a tax deadline and one is quickly approaching on 9/15.  I have already told my supervisor and he spoke with HR, who said that the max I can get reimbursed for is 4 weeks.  So if this does last longer than that, I'm stuck with the $17.20/day allowance the state thinks you deserve for your time.

  • oh my god Mel thats awful! Is there anyway you can say you don't have child care to get out of it?
  • That's a long trial!  Hopefully you won't get called to be an actual juror and if you do hopefully it won't be more than 4 weeks!

  • I've already put that on the question sheet.  If I have to speek infront of the lawyers on Saturday I will try to plead my case as much as possible.

    I have a tendency to be very negative towards things/people that make me do things I do not want to do.  Believe me, that statement will come out on Saturday.

  • I've always wanted to be called for jury duty.  Unfortunately being a lawyer is basically a guaranteed out.  
  • Wow Mel, that totally blows! I hope you are able to get out of it!
  • If it's the Drew Peterson trial (which I know it's not since you're not in Will County...LOL!) you better get on the jury so you can send that scumbag to jail for life! ;)

    I hope you're able to plead your way out of having to serve on the jury on Sat. That sucks!

  • No, it's not the Drew Peterson case.  I don't think I'd mind being on that one at all.  It is, however, another murder case, which I'm sure there will be graphic pictures. 

    Hopefully I can persuade them on Saturday that I'm not a good fit, hell maybe my 50 pages of responses will be enough.
