There is a good chance they will excuse you now from the jury service. I got summoned once and I did respond. I told them I work in a school district as a computer tech, but we are under staffed and I had 5 buildings that I was responsible. That yes, my employer would give me the time off for those days, but then nobody would be able to cover my workload, and as a result both teachers and students equipment would go unrepaired or serviced. And I said, I don't think that is fair for the students. They agreed and told me I didn't need to report.
All that is true.

I am surprised they don't validate for what I would assume would be a parking lot or a parking garage. I know in my county the parking is taken care of. Strange... But, again. There is a chance they will just let you not serve now.

And please no one tell me I was derelict in my duties. I would gladly serve, if it didn't mean that all the broken computers wouldn't sit for the whole time I was out. It's not about the work load I would have to assume when I got back from work, its the fact that those are machines or projectors that wouldn't be working the whole time I was out, and it really would badly impact the students. Teachers flip out when the accidentally mute a projector and I get called in all the time to just turn back up or on the volume. And then I have to tell them, don't worry this happens all the time. So without me the tech at those buildings would have gone all Lord Of The Flies.
