The jury room here is just big. This is the largest courthouse in the world. I'm on lunch now. Currently I'm in slot #16 on a jury but they haven't started the jury questioning so hopefully I will dodge being on he jury.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
so hopefully I will dodge being on he jury.
Can you say, "I'm all booked up with work"? OK, how about "If I can't do my work, Christmas won't come to Beverly Hills"?

Not in California. All you can do is postpone for up to three months. I have already done that. I don't have a window in the next three months that I can take two or more weeks off. All I can do is hope that if I get selected we are done by friday so that I can fly to Toronto as scheduled.

Apparently not. Improper dress just gets you sent home to come back the next day and start over, or they do a postponement.

For mine, they said we could fill out a hardship form, but warned us that it was really unlikely to work. After the fact, I realized I probably could have given it a shot, since the trial would have gone right through the summer, precisely when I needed to find a job. But I don't know if it would have worked.

I know that I once got a questionnaire 'cause they were looking at a seven-month (!!!) trial. I told them if I was on that jury I'd end up jobless, homeless, and bankrupt ... so I didn't get called for that one.
I think I've gotten myself excused from jury duty for as long as I live in DC - last year I got called, two months after I'd had my stroke, and the doctor wrote me one great excuse. Made it sound as though I'd be incapable of physically or mentally getting through a trial. yay?

So, my professor that has annoyed me all semester just made up for it in one swoop.
Our final paper isn't due until December 21, which is the last day he can accept papers. Apparently, we all gave VERY panicked looks when he suggested the 17th, so he said, "Well, this is a small class. I suppose I can give you the full week to finish."
Bless him! Bless him! Bless him!
OH! And I got my grant I applied for (and that had to provide more information for, which I was sure meant . For a shitty day, it's been ok.
