I say unfair!
others might say it is an "honor to be chosen"
I still say unfair!
still others might say that "it is the least you can do"
I say it is an out-rage!
others might say "it is my civic duty"
Again, I say (while stomping my foot) unfair!
The whole time I am going through all of this, the Rev is joyfully giggling in his corner.
Again, (still stomping my foot) no fair!
Yes I have once again become the chosen one for Montana State. I am on jury duty for not one week, not two weeks, not one month, but ONE YEAR!!!!
Oh lucky me! The recent letter that I was sent asked me to please notify the court of any vacations that I might be going on.....hmmm.....I think my vacation this year is beginning on July 1, 2008 and I will be back in town on July 1, 2009.
Its not so much that I mind being on jury duty. In fact being on jury duty in Montana is a lot less painful than being the chosen one in Washington State. My issue comes with the fact that we have been her for 4 years and I have been chosen twice while the Rev sits back and has not been chosen once. Lets share the wealth a little, huh?

Lucky you.
Been mailed notices many times. Each time there was either a really good reason I couldn't serve (seminary, military...) or I called the night before and they didn't want me.
I'd love to do it at least once, really would. But it never works.
I'll bet you a cold beverage that the next summons arrives right after I get orders to move.
cold beverage of my choice? your on.
