Sorry for you Lookout.
One of our Sales Managers (in a previous job) was in the same situation. He lucked out in that "his" trial was only two days in the end. May it happen for you.
Just as an aside.
I've wanted to be on jury duty since I hit 18.
I've never been self employed and only once been on bonuses that would make it hard for me to miss work.
I was summonsed. Once. The week before I left London for Leicester - all plans made, not working, moving out date agreed with landlord, employment agencies in Leicester contacted. And they called me for jury duty. I could have cried.
Of course I had to advise them I couldn't attend as I wouldn't be living in the area on the date of the summons. I asked for a deferral but I was given a (? cancellation?) because of the change in geography. Sigh.
Don't get me wrong - I really like the job I'm in at present. I'd probably come in every evening just to catch up and be involved. I'd just love the chance to be part of a court case.
