I just got the call that I’ve successfully been excused from Federal jury duty on July 9. My reasons? Well, first, I’m signed up for loads of training through work that really can’t be adjusted; second, I’m going to have a difficult time paying the rent and eating if I’m not getting a paycheck.

Long story short, I can’t do it. So I got the call, and I don’t have to report.

Some things do go right.
