Girly, I wonder if they put something on your record about your Dad being a cop?
LS, that was what I was saying....the shorter the dress the better!
I think I'd be okay with that. My friend (same county) seems to get a notice every three years. Like clockwork. Me...nothing!

The won't let you serve if you have family in law enforcement...that was the old way...not sure if they changed that rule.
That was true. My Aunt used having a brother-in-law that was a cop for an excuse for the longest time. Then it didn't matter unless you were blood related. Now it wouldn't matter for me, as all my family members that were cops are no longer with us.

That's never been the case with me, though - I have a family full of lawyers, as well as several cops. It's gotten me off a few cases, but never off Jury Duty. Maybe New York is different?

In my county, once you report (whether you get placed on a jury or not) you're excused for the next 5 years. The last time I got called there was only one new case being heard. I knew the judge, both attorneys and one of the defendents (yipes!). I was excused.
Girly, just call your county and tell them you want to serve.
I am basically in a DUI court. Trials are 5-7 days. At least there is free wi-fi and I can play with my itouch.
See YWIW, you find the silver lining in things. I wish you could teach others.
I'd people watch. In New Brunswick, that's ALWAYS fun!
Jeez, I brought in a cake on Wednesday and yesterday and today, people are stopping by to see what I brought in for them today! I told them it was their turn and they slacked off.
And the boss man just gave me the heads up to wrap up and leave in an hour or so.

Good morning all.
I'm thinking of taking a trip to Barbados, Aruba, or somewhere "tropical" that Jet Blue flies too. And by tropical, I do intend to go past the tropical section of the bar.

My email was a trifle less eloquent.
Damn I missed your post Dett...no fair to delete it

What happened?
Just the usual nonsense.
Ahhh thanks for clarifying Moony. Sometimes I am slow...now I must go catch the special bus.
Make. It. STOP!
I'll take 7.
7 red X's coming right up.
I feel better already!
It's safe for everyone to come back now. I'm taking my meltdown and heading back to the grind.
