In New York, nobody is allowed to get off jury duty anymore, nobody–except for at/home mommy’s with kids under ten, if you own a business and have nobody to cover for you, or you’re sick.
Oh f-k, I thought it began at ten–begins at nine.
Used to love jury duty, but I’m so jaded.




I’m in KS. I’m a mom with a 2 year old and a home child care. I can’t get off jury duty for any reason whatsoever. So little kids and a business with no one to cover for me makes no difference here.
I’ve not had the pleasure of being called up yet, thank god!
Jury duty’s not that bad, other than being completely boring. You sit silently for hours until they tell you to go home because you didn’t get picked.
