Now I have to go exactly 3 years and 1 day later. They must have me on some kind of list to call every 3 years. This is the 3rd time in less than 10 years and 4th time overall for me.

The last 2 times I was picked and then dismissed when they questioned the group of us. Once because a hospital was being sued and I used to work for one and the other time because the prosecutor knew my dad, who's a defense attorney. The first time I had jury duty, they never called my group in and I was sent home.

You can get one automatic postponement from the Commissioner of Jurors. There should be a section on your jury summons that you can fill out and send back.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
