G'day Everyone.
Being sick is no fun in the last few days. So I've been off my blog for while to rest and recover a bit more. So now, I've been busy a bit to try to pull back together.
First of all, it's the eve of my Court day with my local county court. The issue: Interpreter for the deaf. As you know, a few months ago I got notified that I would have to honor my obligation to take part in the jury duty selection process.
It was last month (February) that I sat through a rough jury selection process and ended up on the jury panel. I said most about what happened in that post before.
Now for the update. I got a letter last week from the court house. There's a court hearing tomorrow morning before a judge, who will over see Monday's trial, about my request for a interpreter for the deaf. There was a gut feeling that I had when I made my request for interpreter for the deaf through the District Court Administrator's office just a few days after I got seated for the Jury Duty.
So, what I've done in preparation for this court? Got a letter from my doctor, audiologist, and went on the NAD.org web for a bit of info : http://www.nad.org/site/pp.asp?c=foINKQMBF&b=99574 and printed that out.
Other than that, I'm ready. I'm wishing I had some supporters coming with me. But I'll get through this.
Meanwhile, I felt bad that I could not go to the Scranton State School for the Deaf that had a rally this past weekend. But just to let you all know that there is a petition going on. Please sign it at: http://www.petitiononline.com/sssdsos/.
That's all till tomorrow.
Semper FI!
