    Default Off to jury doodie

    Damn I don't have time for this. I'm a small business owner that just scrapes by as it is. Wife that don't work and two kids. I need to make money every day that I can. Already feel guilty about buying a psa upper over 4th of July sale. Stuff like that really lights a fire under my ass to get work done.

    Wonder if when they call my name if I jump up, look straight at the ceiling. Then yell out GUILTY!!!! It will get me out of there and back to work sooner.

    Or some sort of contempt of court charge...

    You spent money you didn't have and now complaining about losing money because of jury duty?

    Did you remember to wear your get-out-of jury duty Ride the Lightning t-shirt?

    I had a "get out of jury dootie free" card in Fremont county...

    At least whenever DA Thom LeDoux was involved with the case... I've seen him in action "behind the scenes" so to speak, and would never believe a word he said, and would assume every witness he called was coached and possibly coerced.

    Now here in TX, I'm sure I've been added to potential Jurors since I'm now registered to vote here. (but I did so well before Trump's administration requested voter info)

    If serving on a jury is truly a financial hardship for you then you can request to be excused on those grounds.

    I think my standards of scrapping by are different than some being self employed. When I make money I sit on it. Last job i finished last week paid 4 grand for two weeks. I'm going to hang on to that money like it were the end. I have to get the next customer under contract and finished before I see anymore money. It's different than getting a check every Friday from an employer. That would be the easy way.

    Just like I need a new work truck. Mines hammered but still runs ok. I'm not going to pay over 20,000 for a truck with 80,000 miles half worn out until I HAVE to.
