So, I got a jury duty summons. To criminal proceedings. Which is terrible timing, because at a better point in my life, I'd love to. I think it would be fascinating.

However:

- Incompatible with my studies.

And also:

You are not permitted to serve as a juror if you:

- have any disease or infirmity of mind or body that will affect your ability to be a juror.


Which... I kind of do. While ADHD is on the list, now that I'm medicated I'd probably handle it. But the depression, and the PTSD - there's a range of criminal cases where I would be in emotional turmoil that would affect my ability to be a juror.

So, I need to work out how to phrase the statutory declaration and ask to be excused.

"Dear Sherrif, I regularly take opiates for pain, and I've just started amphetamines for ADHD. Do you _really_ think it would be a good idea for me to serve on a jury?"

Should do it nicely.

Yeah, I did hear that. I don't know who or WHY but yeah, I did.

Someone was saying it the last time there was a "graffiti" post. I still haven't seen it. (which is not that surprising considering it's in the girls toilets)
