I Missed Jury Duty

Okay, I'm not entirely sure that I missed it. But, I failed to open my jury notice until after the week that I was on duty. You see, San Francisco has a system where there are 10 groups of jurors on notice for a given week. Each day of that week, you are supposed to check the website to see if your group is supposed to report in. After I realized I missed it, I went to the website, but was unable to tell whether my group had been called earlier in the week. Now, I'll have a terrible wait... Will a ticket show up in mailbox? Or will a warrant be issued for my arrest?

Likely not. But, that would suck.

Here is what the San Francisco Government website has to say about it:

Failure to Respond to a Jury Summons
If you fail to appear, you will be subject to a fine or imprisonment pursuant to section 209 of the california code of civil procedure. Section 209 requires the Jury Commissioner to pursue non-respondents. If you receive a Notice of Failure to Appear, you must contact the Jury Office at 415-551-3608 within 10 business days to reschedule your service or to explain why you cannot serve as a juror.

Let's just hope I spot the Notice of Failure to Appear if I get one.

I Hate Fleet Week

Do you see this? Do you know what this means?

This means Fleet Week here in San Francisco. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not against the "celebration of the men and women of our armed forces." What I'm against is all the damn jet flying that is going to be happening. I recall last year - it doesn't matter if you shut your windows, you can't block out the sound. It might be fun to see them once during the week, but you have to hear them much more than that. Blue Angels think they are so cool.
