Title: Jury duty
Post by: LizStreithorst on March 05, 2014, 07:19:21 PM
I never new it was so hard.  I thought that if they wanted me, they would politely phone me and tell me.  NO!  They put it on me!  I have to call every evening after 6:30, just when I'm in my own little zone, and listen to the automated voice and punch in numbers.  I'm proud to do my duty but I don't like them asking me in such an impolite manner.  Does it work like this everywhere?

That is the way it is here. You have to call in five nights in a row.

If you ask me it's a rude way to do it.

The very nerve of them making you go to the court house!  That would be 20 miles round trip for me.  I would abdicate before I would do that!  The way it is now is bad and suddenly I find out that it used to be worse?  This is not acceptable.

Yep, especially when the horses were tired, and I forgot to grease the buggy wheels.... ;D
