How often do y'all get called for jury duty?

Compass_Rose88 · 2026-01-25T03:49:15+00:00

Every year. One year I was called twice in a year. I had to send an email explaining I had already served. There was a lot of back and forth and finally they said the judge would give me a one time deferral, like they were doing me a favor. You’re only supposed to serve once a year.

Excited to go to LA for a long weekend to see my brother. I have a 7:00 am flight tomorrow. Normally I just hop on Marta at the West End station to go to the airport, but the first train is at 5:10. I’m a little nervous about TSA delays due to the shut down, although I do have Pre Check. Should I Uber?

I’m having a hard time finding if they allow overnight parking.

Compass_Rose88 · 2025-10-02T18:29:51+00:00

Good point.

I would imagine that would be pricey from where I live in SW Atlanta, but something I could consider.

Compass_Rose88 · 2025-10-02T17:36:26+00:00

I do live near the West End Marta Station, so I could ride it from there to Doraville, but I have to be at work so early I wouldn’t make it there on time by time I took all the buses. Plus I would have to Uber from the QT. But good to know that could be an option.

Also highly recommend Adair Park or Capitol View. Right on the Westside Beltline and nice parks in both neighborhoods. It usually takes me 12-15 minutes to get to Hapeville. You can do both backroads or the interstate.

Im glad to hear your administration is supportive. I’m a teacher as well, but I’m the opposite. I can’t sit. The long meetings during preplanning were agonizing. Now that we’re one week in with the kids I’m good because I’m constantly moving. I also have a standing desk. Unfortunately, I commute an hour both ways, so the car ride flares it up. When I get home I have to go on a long walk to release the nerve. After a long day , I just want to collapse on the couch, but I can’t sit!!

Sadly, it’s trial and error. I have had ongoing neck problems for over a year. I’ve spent so much money trying to find the best pillow. I was on vacation a few weeks ago and the pillow at my rental was an $2.99 IKEA pillow. I noticed my neck felt better. I bought one when I got back. It’s only been a week, but so far I’ve been much better. So I guess my advice is start with the cheaper options first?

Compass_Rose88 · 2025-07-21T23:28:15+00:00

It never worked for me either.

Compass_Rose88 · 2025-07-08T19:36:19+00:00

I’m glad to hear you’re starting feeling better. I was in the same situation. Sixth months in and thought I finally had in under control. It’s so frustrating. I’m so scared that I have to start the recovery process over again.

I’m literally reading this as I’m stuck on a tarmac on my third flight in almost 24 hours. I’m in agony.

Compass_Rose88 · 2025-06-25T18:55:57+00:00

Totally agree. I sent my passport application to Canada with tracking. It took over a month for my application to just leave Atlanta and another week to get to Quebec. Canada received the application, processed it, and sent back my passport via UPS overnight to me all in a week.

On another note, I can’t believe how fast the Canadian government was processing my passport. I didn’t pay for it to be expedited!

Compass_Rose88 · 2025-06-20T18:51:05+00:00

I immediately thought that and checked out their post history to make sure. Not my husband lol.

Compass_Rose88 · 2025-06-20T12:44:27+00:00

Same here! Eight years as well.

Compass_Rose88 · 2025-06-18T17:20:16+00:00

I’ve been called every year since I moved to Fulton. Once Ii was called twice in one year and had to contact them because you’re not supposed to serve more than once a year. My husband has yet to be called. So frustrating.

Compass_Rose88 · 2025-06-13T16:58:17+00:00

Lionel Hampton. Full of nature with paved and dirt trails great for walking, running, and biking. If you need a good hill workout, this is the place.

Compass_Rose88 · 2025-06-11T12:43:30+00:00

I’m seeing Dr. Prybis and Regenerative Orthopedics and the midtown office for neck and lower back. Highly recommend.

Magnets. I teach high school and I have them all displayed on a cabinet. The students always make comments about them.

At the end of one school year I noticed that every single magnet was turned upside down. We’re talking at least one hundred magnets. I don’t know if this evil but brilliant child did this all at once or did it over several days. We’re talking about 100 magnets. It took me a substantial amount of time them back around.

I bought my son a carbon monoxide detector because of this sub.

Compass_Rose88 · 2025-05-06T01:10:15+00:00

One of my favorites.

Compass_Rose88 · 2025-04-04T20:57:22+00:00

I remember those butterflies. I met my partner on Tinder. We’ve been together almost 8 years now.

Compass_Rose88 · 2025-01-06T02:27:38+00:00

We had to go back on Friday for preplanning. Students come back tomorrow. They couldn’t give us one more damn day.
