I was called for jury duty!!

Like Diane mentioned that is inconsiderate to give you a short notice like that. Wow, they call you personally by me also they send a notice in mail a few weeks before. I was called two years ago for Grand Jury the cheese of all cheeses.lol But luckily when I got there and sat I was dismissed, they had selected the jurors. Whew! was I happy..

I once was picked for a muder trail in NYC when I lived there, but when I was called to the judge I told them I work for the court system and thankfully they dismmissed me.

Gayle that is a hard call to make, when someone's life is in yours and the other jurors hands. Everything I guess is based on how the attorneys present it and evidence. I applaud you.... It must be stressful..

Anyway I am glad you got off Janet, how much do they pay you for each day you are out of work? Back in the day jury duty I think was 15 dollars a day plus transportation to and from. Maybe Judy could quote me better on this. It has been years..
