Jury Duty, with Complications
Mar. 11th, 2006 11:36 amEdited to Add: Posting with the monkeybrain, sans medication, food, coffee, or considered thought. I think I'll just leave this up as an example. And hey, look, even the monkeybrain can spell and punctuate and write complex sentences.
So I came upstairs this morning and there was an envelope on my keyboard from the Fourth Judicial District Court, Hennepin County Jury's Office. That was all right, but I was horrified to see upon opening the envelope that I had been supposed to appear on February 27th. I don't know where the glitch in delivery was. There is no postmark on the envelope. Nobody else is up, but my guess is that this envelope got mixed up in somebody else's mail, most probably by getting stuck firmly inside a catalog, and was only just found. We are always finding important mail inside of catalogs, but that's mostly after wondering, "Wait a minute, where's the phone bill?" or "Wasn't a check supposed to be coming?" So then we go and look. Obviously, I wasn't expecting this. Or maybe it just arrived, but there's no way to prove that without a postmark.
After a lot of panicked searching of the form, I did find a telephone number, but of course their office hours are only Monday through Friday. Now I get to spend the whole weekend gibbering. Has anyody else ever been in this stupid situation, particularly with Hennepin County? I am seriously unnerved and upset here.
