I get around the rigamaroll (and always have) by feeding the jury summons to the shredder. It's not sent via registered mail...PROVE I ever got it! All the scare-tactic language on the summons notwithstanding, nothing has ever happened.

I had several snarky comments to make when he gave me a hard time, but I kept thinking, "Contempt of court, contempt of court."Winklepotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02668253236290997371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7581051299606335447.post-5700536472142770662009-10-20T05:34:06.816-07:002009-10-20T05:34:06.816-07:00You could have looked at the judge and said, "...You could have looked at the judge and said, "What I do is pretty much the same as your job....I solve disputes, have to determine who is lying, and dish out punishments. I do all of this while potty training, fixing supper, and looking fabulous. What I do makes your job look easy. Could you be gone from your position for two weeks without worry? Well, then neither can I." <br />I am so brave in my own head.....<br />LOL :o)<br />StephanieMoMo's Bowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05629004948991629592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7581051299606335447.post-8713384761499930522009-10-19T19:56:11.896-07:002009-10-19T19:56:11.896-07:00Hyla, that totally sux!

It would have been easier if my husband had been called, then his work would have excused him without any problems, but I can understand an employer not being able to excuse an employee because their spouse is called. Staying home sometimes gets you the short end of the stick and not much understanding from our judicial system.Winklepotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02668253236290997371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7581051299606335447.post-62179402231612765532009-10-19T17:25:44.619-07:002009-10-19T17:25:44.619-07:00Im a stay at home mom and the judge would not let ...Im a stay at home mom and the judge would not let me out of jury duty. This was 1 month after I gave birth as well. We only got $25 a day and my husband had to risk his job to stay at home with our 3 kids while I was at jury duty. How does $25 even compare to a days work that my husband is missing?Hylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05370684363916495048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7581051299606335447.post-89934321636523100532009-10-19T15:23:52.034-07:002009-10-19T15:23:52.034-07:00Not sure about California, but I was paying $50/da...Not sure about California, but I was paying $50/day when my kids were in an in-home daycare and that was before they raised their rates. I can't imagine finding anything for less than that now. That's sad if they pay even less for your time in California. It's not even about the money; if I'm not watching my kids, who's going to? I don't think they have a "get out of jury duty" free card here.
