Update: Well, darn. Someone reads my blog. Got an email and a call from a N&R reporter about this jury summons and my sister and I talked to her. Working on a Sunday, no less! Other note: she used the contact form I installed yesterday. Ain’t this technology thing great? (original post follows)
I’ve mentioned that I receive repeated jury duty summonses when my friends tell me they never get one. But this is better. Guess who got a jury summons today? My father (z”l) who passed away in 1995 has such an invitation to serve with the caveat that he can go down to the courthouse on Tuesday or Thursday from 2:30-4:30 p.m. to request an exemption (or mail it in). Noted on the form for valid exemptions: the candidate is deceased.
I suppose this would be laughable if not for the fact we DID go down there two years after he passed away (the last time he got a notice) to make sure they knew and that there was no identity theft involved.
A perfect almost-ending to a Friday. Government. Can’t do the big stuff right till you get a handle on the small.
