There is mail you get that makes your day. Mail like a birthday card from your grandparents or refund check you weren't expecting. Then you have the mail you absolutely dread. Mail like the single piece of paper that reads on top; Jury Summons! (Insert scary lighting and women screaming.) Yes the dreaded jury duty letter that we all try to avoid. Well, my number was called to do my civic duties. As soon as I opened I was trying to figure out how I could get out of this. I know everyone else does this too.
I had to change the date I was suppose to show up because there was a scheduling conflict. I was very surprised how easy this was. I was able to go online and change the date. The online page was pretty easy to use. So if you have to change your date , just go online and do it.
After I changed my date to a month later it was my time. I called the number after 6pm the night before. They let you know if you have to show up. I am pretty sure that my badge number went up in the list because I rescheduled. They make you park at the Freemont experience parking garage. This stinks because you have to walk about 4 blocks to the courthouse. Make sure you have enough time for the walk. It took me about 10 mins with all the lights.
When you get into the courthouse the chairs are actually comfortable. They show you a short video on the basics of jury duty. Overall the experience wasn't terrible. I went on a Thursday. So if you get summons go on a Thursday or a Friday. I repeat Thursday or Friday. Cheers!
