I got called for jury duty one time and called the court administrator and explained that my business needed me the specific week I was on call. He told me they would excuse me with no issues but the next time I was called there would be absolutly no way I could get out of it. I figured I would take my chances and agreed.
About two months later I was called again (shocker) and it was the same week of my family vacation. I again called but because I had agreed previously there was no way of getting out of it. My wife and I had to scramble nd rearange all of our plans. (fortunatly we were taking my family camping so there wasn't any real money lost). The day before I was supposed to report I called and got the automated message "All those called for jury duty this week do not need to report. All cases scheduled have been settled and there is nothing left on the courts docet. Thank you for your willingnes to serve."
Now we laugh, back then... not so funny.
