Murphy's Law and jury duty

I'm one of those weirdos who has always wanted to be a juror.

I have been called to jury duty a few times -- always when there was No Way I Could Possibly Serve.

The first time was when my eldest was a newborn. I was also called four years ago, right before we moved back to L.A.

After that, I had about three to four years where it would not have been that inconvenient for me to serve, but I didn't get called, of course. If I had been called even three months ago I could have served. But I didn't get called then, of course.

Today, however, I got summoned.

I'm one of those people too. The first time I was called, I was in China and no way I could come back to the UK to do jury duty. The second time, I was doing my LLM and couldn't miss classes. Not heard from them since. Perhaps some day, we'll both get to do it? ;-)
