Jury Duty? Me?

I just got a Jury Summons in the mail. It's definately a good news/bad news kinda thing. I have always wanted to serve on a jury and observe the legal process from that perspective.

The bad is that it happens to coincide with my trip to Spain, so I have to write a nice letter to the judge as to why I can't make it.

I think any judge interested in blind justice wouldn't want a pissed-off juror who is supposed to be in Spain on the panel anyway.
