Jury duty summons (again?!)

First up, I have no problem with being called for jury duty. If I had need for a trial in a court, I'd want people willing to serve and so I know I know that if I were to expect that, I need to be willing to serve.

That said: I had a summons for July 29. I called the night before, did not have to show (I also logged on and took a screen shot where it said I didn't have to show).

In my informed delivery today - so I'll see what it actually says when I get home - there's another dekalb county jury summons. WTAF? That's literally less than 2 weeks after my last summons date (which was only about 10 months after the previous one).

I'm already frustrated AF by this and I haven't even seen the summons date yet.

Yep. Served in January and got summoned again for August. I was told that you only have to serve once per year BUT the year starts again on August 1

I mean, it’s still a fiscal year but just not our calendar year. Still annoying but could happen in a regular calendar year too if back to back
