I had to turn work down this week. No, I am not so busy that I am turning customers away, I am simply “invited” to join the judge, lawyers, and other potential jurors next week for the jury selection process and trial. Ahhh, that wonderful civic “privilege” known as jury duty.
The same day I received my “invitation”, I also had a request to videotape a retirement and roast party. There is the chance I will not be chosen to serve on the jury, but if I am chosen, I would likely not be able to make it to the party in time. If I am not chosen, I won’t know that until Tuesday and the party is Friday. That would not be enough time to hire someone else to videotape, so I had to let this one go.
I am significantly disappointed.
