Can you postpone the jury duty? I think in Texas you can do it twice (but then you really better show up the third time).

Q: Can an employer require its employees to use vacation time or sick leave for jury service?
A: No. The Ohio statute explicitly prohibits employers from requiring employees to use vacation days or sick leave for time spent responding to a jury duty summons or serving on a jury. Employers are not even allowed to ask that employees use their paid time off, according to the statute. Employees do have the option of using vacation days or paid time off if their employer provides those benefits, but this must be done voluntarily.
ETA: they are not required to pay you for the time you are out, which is why one might choose to take the vacation days.

Can you postpone the jury duty?
I could, but the thing they sent says if you postpone it, you get rescheduled within 6 months. So I could end up getting scheduled during my damn wedding. So I might as well do it now and hope I get dismissed right away.
SO ANGRY.

Our wings are not tired.
Postpone! You don't need more on your plate.
xpost. oh well that would not do. I've been called 3 times and all times it was a one day thing. Some places you don't even go, you just call in the night before to see if you are needed.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Damn, Steph, that sucks. I rummaged around a bit in Ohio's labour laws. Your work cannot legally require you to use your vacation/sick leave, and in fact they can't even ask you to do so (though you can use it voluntarily). But they don't have to pay you either, so what else can you do? Thanks a lot, Ohio's labour laws.)

I think you can postpone twice; getting married is a legit out-of-jail card.
It do sucketh, though.
Hey, since you're here, Tep...I am going to be trying a new AD; I've been on Celexa for 13 years, and well, it ain't doing it anymore. Any scuttlebutt?
Anyone have personal knowledge of Viibryd (vilazodone HCI tablets?)
Email addy good if you prefer to chat on the DL.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
The mention of fried chicken in Natter made me feel the need to share this, but it really belongs here not there somehow.
I have been having symptoms that my body flora is out of whack, girlie issues & GI issues and whatnot, so I've decided to go on a brief 2-3 week cleanse and clean up my system. Well, may go for a longer time on it in exchange for being able to add a few more items to my menu. Last time it was no coffee, no alcohol, no grains, no legumes, no sugar, no dairy, no fruit. It was like the "No" diet. I'm probably swapping another week of the main diet (no fruit, sugar, grains, or legumes) in exchange for allowing myself a bit of dairy and a cup of coffee in the morning.
My memory from last time is that I was hungry ALL THE TIME, and I eventually got sick of eating salad at what felt like every meal. And most important, that what got me through it was sharing the experience with msbelle, as she went on a similar cleanse at the same time.

Burrell, I've been looking longingly at some places that will deliver a week of fresh meals at a time on basically that diet. Because then I wouldn't have to cook it, and I'd be able to be like "NO, must only eat food I paid for!" But they all seem to deliver on like, Tuesdays, which doesn't work with my schedule.
Also I am irked because I keep having a weird pain, which I am hoping is nothing, but it keeps happening (lower abdomen right side).
I know nothing of new antidepressants, erin, but good luck!
Also, that is a sucky jury-duty policy.

Tep,
Postpone it. If it comes up during wedding deal with it then.

I know that SSRIs (and probably other antidepressants) just poop out after a while. It's not a tolerance/dependence thing; they just...poop out.
Anyone have personal knowledge of Viibryd (vilazodone HCI tablets?)
Huh. I don't really know anything about it. From what I looked up really quickly, it's an SSRI.
