jury duty!
Ugh! Not only did I get a jury duty summons--I didn't receive the actual form, and only knew about it upon getting a reminder in the form of a card with some phone numbers on it. Wonderful!
Last time I tried to be a juror, it was wrong from the moment I entered the building. I broke down crying when attempting to sign in, and was promptly excused and escorted out by the nice people, blubbering most of the way. D:
I have improved a bit in some ways over the years, but I started quaking and sweating the second I looked at this reminder. My heart is still thudding and I cannot calm down. This level of panic tends to explode at the slightest provocation, and then I don't calm down for hours afterward.
I called one of the phone numbers provided, but they want an excuse on some form I haven't even received. What's more, I live far away from the courthouse now, I'm poor as shit, I don't drive, and cannot depend on anyone to drive me out there to do this.
The recording I listened to mentioned that they want a doctor's name for medical excuses. I have never seen a doctor for my social phobias because I haven't had a reason to pay someone to tell me what I already know, nor to prescribe medications I will never take. Not sure what to do there. Doctors generally don't even believe I have issues because they think I deal so well with them. Ahaha.
This is bollocks. I didn't get the mail til like 11pm, so there is nothing for it but to wait for business hours to address this.
Not really looking for advice on how to proceed--just wanted to rant to people who'd actually understand. Feel free to share your thoughts, though.
