A jury summons arrived in the mail today. I checked the Excuse List, and 'I don't live in the United States' was not an option. I called the court and said, "Um, I can't go because I'm moving to Cambodia." I thought they would require some sort of proof, but the lady just told me to send them the form with my new address. She said they would remove my name of their list permanently.
I have to admit, it's rather liberating. Maybe I should feel bad that I can't perform this important civic duty. Ah, who am I kidding? Now, I don't have to show up, wait around 6 hours for my name to be called, and then make sure I appear like a real jerk in front of the attorneys, so I don't get selected.
