I really don't want to go to jury duty this morning. It's a 2 week commitment starting today, and I'm already going on a couple hours of sleep and the beginnings of an anxiety attack. I don't know if I can do this for 2 weeks. I really wish I had a doctor right now. I'd be on the phone trying to get excused.
This is going to royally suck. :cry::cry::cry:

1. Quick - get a permantent marker and and old T-shirt and get to work. |
|
Carefully write in bold letters on the front of the shirt:
"HE'S GUILTY AS FUCK!"
Then on the back, write:
"Hang, Shoot, Zap, Jab, whatever - JUST EXECUTE HIM!"
That will get you off the jury, although it might get you a few other things too.

3. Chances are that if you get on a jury |

it won't be two weeks. It could take less time than that. They could settle (if civil) or plea bargain (if criminal).
Best of luck, Venus. :hug:

4. Well, I guess anxiety is a good enough reason to be excused. |
|
I burst into tears when they handed me my paper work. The jury commissioner took me into his office and talked to me about my anxiety. Then he excused me. I feel guilty and happy at the same time. I would love to be able to serve, but my brain just doesn't cooperate when my routine is disrupted. I wonder if I'll ever get over anxiety attacks.
Thanks for all the well wishes. You are terrific people. :hug::loveya:

6. I served on a jury for a trial once |
|
but that was only because I wanted to. Now that I have served, I get out of it be declaring my hearing impairment or the the fact I have aids.
