All's I know is the second you go in to jury duty and scan that barcode, that message is no longer valid and you are signed in. I willing went to jury duty because it was basically a day off even after getting that message and asked about it. So if you still want to serve cause your job sucks and you need a day off, you can. Chances are that they have few cases and may dismiss you anyway if you just need that paper saying you did the thing.

Yea, I got summoned during the summer, right? So, while the prosecutor and defendant’s attorney is doing their jury striking or whatever, I’m zoning off thinking ok, it’s only 11am, I can get lunch, go home, do laundry, etc. While I’m in my “best day ever” thoughts, my name gets called. Got stuck in that for 3 days. My boss was NOT HAPPY, lol.

I went like a month ago after deciding "well technically I did have to tell work for coverage reasons". They only had one case, but the defendant wasn't available and they dismissed the entire room. Then I got my actual day off plus the paper proving I went. It was good and I later went on to get a better job.
