I recently got a jury summons, and this feels like a somewhat awkward time since I just started a new job a few months ago (which has felt a bit stressful to me), and I'm movingjust before my jury date too. I'm not moving very far away though (within driving distance). I submitted a request to be excused, saying I just started a new job recently (and "new job hardship" was one of the available reasons), and that I'm moving to a different county, but my request to be excused was denied.
