aseYesterday the mail delivered to me a jury duty summons for April. Five days of calling in to find out whether I'm on the hook for one day , or one trial. The honeymoon is over; I forfeit my time and claim my citizenship.
(As much as I'd love to discover the Power of Science is a saving throw against jury duty, in the Bay area, it probably doesn't work like that.)
By the way, the directions for "IF YOU DO NOT SPEAK OR UNDERSTAND ENGLISH" are written in... English. Seriously, judicial branch? Can't you do better than that?
San Francisco is awesome. It's going to be a year on Friday; draft plans included the beach after work, but the weather isn't cooperating. So alternate plans may need to come together: (movie? Music? Mission bookstores? Staying cooped up is not an option.
