LOL You have it so easy. I have had 57 WEEKS of Jury duty in the last 5 years. Yes I did. No really.
First in 2014 I had Grand Jury Duty which is 52 weeks long. You have to go for 2 to 4 days every month to hear cases to see if they go to trial. (they need a true bill)
March this year, I had United States District Court Petite Jury which is 4 weeks. It started on my birthday so I had to cancel vacation until July (I had it moved from winter because I walk with a cane and they said they wouldn't move it again.) So I made vacation plans for 4th of July...and...
I have Jury Duty for State of Alaska starting the 8th. (thankfully only one week unless I bag another trial). They said, no I can't get out of it because the USDC is Federal and they are state. (Bye by vacation)
Truthfully, I work full time and this has been a major hassle. I feel like I should be excused for life...and they should pay for my next vacation.
