OT: Jury Duty! Help!

[nostradamus]

yes dharma, it’s the Costanza thing kind of. But I only measured the lobster and not any other shrinkage (the water was cold).

If any of my clients wishes to do a background check on me I always tell them about the lobster up front. Nobody has ever had a problem and in fact, I think they trust me for being so open about it!

I just concluded my latest jury service this week. I ended up serving without stepping a foot into the courthouse. I had originally been called to show up back in January, but I reschedule to June (ability to reschedule six months later) since our company offices were moving downtown from Mira Mesa and figured it would be easy to serve my time.

Two weeks ago I looked up my schedule online and realized I wouldn’t be in town the week I reschedule as I am getting married out of state, and then a honeymoon, and then starting up my EMBA program at the end of July. So, I call up the courthouse, explained my situation, and amazingly, the lady that I spoke to was a delight. After congratulating me on my upcoming wedding, she then suggested the five day jury duty service where I would call in five days after 5pm and be instructed to whether or not to come into the courthouse. Well, she suggested Memorial Day weekend where there are fewer court cases and one less business day. So, I called in Thursday night, Monday night, Tuesday night, and Wednesday night. Each night the recording said that I did not need to report and the final message was thanking me for my service.

This strategy may work for others if you can delay to a holiday weekend and then call in and ask for the dial in jury duty service.

Nostradamus,

Wouldn’t have guessed that lobsters would be subject to Costanza-ized decrease in stature. Interesting.

Were you actually arrested and charged with the lobster crime? You didnt specify.

I wasn’t arrested but was given a citation and a notice to appear in court. They confiscated the lobster (I’ll bet they ate it) and threatened to confiscate my gear. Thank goodness I wasn’t arrested, after reading the way cops treat their detainees.

It ticked me off because there were tons of lobster down there, I only wanted one and it measured right to me (while measuring it underwater, with a light in one hand, in the surge). I only had the one, but got the same plea deal as the guy who had a truckload.
