If you are fully excused, then they cancel your name from the list and you don’t get called again unless the computer randomly selects you again. That could be years away, or never. However in your case they seem to have treated you the same as if you told them it clashed with a pre-booked holiday.

You might be better off trying to ask a judge directly, I don’t imagine you’re likely to get sufficient consideration from the cynical and jaded back office staff.

I got an email a month ago saying "I am pleased to let you know that you have been excused from jury service. Please destroy your citation, as this will no longer be required".
