I just got summoned for jury duty.:/ I mean, really? I've only been a citizen for two years, and they got me already?... I haven't even registered to vote, hoping that it might reduce the likelihood of being picked too soon. Well, it looks like I might just as well start voting now, for all the good it's going to do. I'm in the system anyway.:/
It came in my old name, btw - but I don't suppose I could pretend it's not really for me, could I? Technically, there is no US citizen of that name, because my citizenship certificate bears the new one. But I'd rather show up and explain the situation than risk getting a fine for disregarding the summons, I think.
The letter says to be prepared to stay at the courthouse for 7 hours at least, and to bring change for vending machines. ( Read more... )
