civic duties

[jeliza]

I got summoned for jury duty for the first time since living in Pittsburgh.  It's a bit more automated now, and it looks like I just check the website on friday night to see if I even have to show up the next week. Also, that favorite voir dire question, are you related to/friends with someone in law enforcement, is right there on the questionnaire you submit in advance.

I'm guessing my odds of serving are low, but since it is technically possible to do it the particular week they've summoned me for, I'm not going to try and get excused. (I did in Pittsburgh.)
