    Nah, depression already gets me out.

    If in the future, I’m no longer depressed, I still wanna go on a jury, ya know, just to experience a once-in-a-lifetime courtroom process. #Murica ya know 😉

      My experience in San Francisco was this:

      ²³⁸U: I mean I’m happy to serve, but my diagnoses are on record. I’m on disability. Do you really want me?
      Jury Pool Clerk: Are you a danger to yourself or others?
      ²³⁸U: That’s the bar? I just need to not be a threat?
      Jury Pool Clerk: <giggles> This is America.
      ²³⁸U: Fair enough. I’ll see you on Tuesday at… holy crap eight in the morning.

      In Yolo county, I called in saying I’m eager to serve but need a ride, and they immediate cancelled my Jury Duty.
