The last time I got a jury summons, I got three in a row. This would have been my 3rd, 4th, and 5th time serving on a jury. The problem is, I had that thyroid problem going and didn't know what it was. All I knew was I absolutely couldn't handle being cooped up indoors with a crowd of hundreds; I could feel the panic rising with each (slowly) passing minute, and when lunchtime came I would bolt for the door and skip the afternoon session. Of course I got caught doing this, since during one of my long lunch absences I was called up for a murder trial. That miserable judge hauled me me me into court, threatened to throw me in the slammer and fined me $100 for avoiding jury service. He wasn't the slightest bit interested in my tale of badly frayed nerves, and since I wasn't seeing a doctor my symptoms constituted goldbricking. The bastard. I wouldn't know for another year that the problem was my thyroid going haywire.
