anxieties

[rm]

My father emailed to say I received a jury duty notice at my parents' house, which among other things makes more sense. He doesn't know what to do with it, and I'm scared that if I have to report while I'm out of the country it's going to be some sort of horrible problem. I can't be arrested/fined if I'm on vacation and can't report to a notice received while I'm away, can I? Either way, jury duty is a nightmare since I only make money when I work. Oi. Speaking of which I just emailed them about that. Talk about anxieties I don't need.

Add to that a very tough day in studio (the Scottish play), my giving myself shit and all that usual about a slightly surreal myriad of things, and I'm not in the best place right now. Going to go swimming in a bit and try yet another cafe in Darlinghurst.

you can defer your service. depending on which court it is, there are different ways to do it. most simply require a phone call (at least one is automated, by my recollection) and the info is on the summons card.

i'd imagine you could instruct your parents to call and make the 1st deferment for the maximum time. I think you can find more info at http://www.nyjuror.org
