I've been called for jury duty 2x both in Tallahassee. The first time I was selected but there was a plea deal. Which was probably the best outcome for the defendant since his attorney wasn't well prepared for jury selection and the judge admonished him about something.
The 2nd time I wasn't selected. I had put on the paperwork that I wasn't related to anyone who was in law enforcement or a lawyer and had forgotten about my uncle. I was asked about it and just completely blanked on him . I never thought of him as my uncle the lawyer just my uncle...who oh yeah was a lawyer.
Jim just used the phrase "I'm completely aligned on this" in a meeting. I am going downstairs for the flamethrower.
Run, run Jim! The collective has infiltrated your language!
(I just said
"We need to scale that board to spotlight wins that are low lift"
in a meeting, and I feel unclean.)
I feel certain you know an appropriate purification ritual, Atropa
I feel slightly better now, because in a different meeting one of my project managers said,
"She'll rewrite the strings in LOLCat if you make her annoyed".
They're learning.
strongly exceeds, shrift? Dang, that's awesome!!
management knew that one of their workers was using his master key to go into apartments where single women lived and rape them. He tried my apartment, but I had the chain on, so he never got in. And I didn't know about it, because building management didn't warn any of the tenants. And, yes, the case ended up setting a precedent for what management companies owe their tenants.
Holy CRAP Toddson, that's hella scary and infuriating!!
I served on a jury once in DC, for a couple weeks, and it ended up a hung jury, there were two defendants and we went 11-1 guilty for the one, and 9-3 not guilty for the other. Very weird elaborate story.
I hesitate to say I'm surprised I've only been called once in Seattle, because I figure that means I'll be called tomorrow and end up on a case that's just long enough to make work impossible--a couple days I could handle, but a couple weeks would be a wreck.
I only was called to Jury duty once and I am pretty sure I was rejected based in my eagerness and my consumption of CSI.
I think I need your affirmation. I sort of kind of agreed to do costumes for a show this summer which I totally can do, but there is also a community vegetable garden which I want to to do and I just think I’d so much more important than theatre and I can really contribute too. Can I back out without being a duck?
Sophia, I give you permission to back out.
Woot! Yay for being fully vaxed.
I'm surprised I haven't been called more. Like 3 times in the nearly 50 years I could be. Yes, tempting fate there.
Yes, you can back out. You don't want to regret it all summer.
