Summons Finally Came

November 1st, 2011 at 07:33 pm

So last time I got excused from jury duty because of my upcoming surgery they said they would reschedule me for 11/9 though 11/23. Well, time was going by and going by and no official summons had appeared for the new time. Well, it finally came in the mail yesterday. Do you think it was for the days they said it would be for? Of course not. I set up my life around the dates they gave me and now I have to go and change at least 3 different appointments, including a surgical follow up, because they couldn't actually stick to the dates they had given me. I am more than a little annoyed by this.

They have also scheduled it during a time where I don't have optional child care to get my kids to and from school in the dark if I have to serve the new dates. And I am not having them walk a mile in the dark on such ridiculous busy streets. We are considered too close to have bus service where we live even though the people three blocks away from us have it.

I still haven't been able to get a hold of my doctor. I have been calling all morning and getting a busy signal, which may or may not be better than an answering machine (since it doesn't take messages). When I go pick up my daughter after school today I will swing by there and see if I kind find anything out. It's been a week and a half since my MRI. I should not have to wait so long to find out the results. They should have called me.

Maybe if it's bad enough I can get excused again or at least postponed again until summer when I don't have to worry about getting my kids to school. I hate having my life up in the air.

    Ugh, that sounds like a mess. And it does not help when they are keeping you in suspense over important test results, either. I hope that they are able to get on the ball and that it will lead you to some semblance of normalcy during jury duty. It's a shame that you have no insurance of being able to rely on them to stick to the dates required, though.

    This reminds me to never move. They are extraordinarily easy/nice here with getting out of jury duty. Noticeably so, since most my friends and co-workers live in neighboring counties where they make it much more difficult to get out of. I understand they don't want people to abuse the system, but you also don't want to turn people's lives upside down for jury duty.
