So my last day at Yahoo! is this Thursday, right around the corner. I have so much to do that I'm working today and tonight to wrap up as much as possible.

So I got this jury summons a few weeks ago, for what day? June 12th, Wednesday. My second-to-last day at Yahoo. I meant to postpone it, either until July, when I'd have plenty of time to sit in a box with my peers, or push it off until after August, at which point I'd be a Penn resident, and would therefore not have to serve on the jury anyhow.

I put the envelope and summons in my backpack, taking them to work along with my other outgoing mail, or so I thought. I'd left the summons at home, bringing only the envelope. Anyhow, I've found the summons a few days ago and now I know that it had to have been sent in 14 days before the appearance date.

Oops. Shit.

So now, Tuesday night I have to call in and find out if they need me to come in, because dodging it is punishable by arrest and contempt of court.

The last two times I've been called up on jury duty I didn't even have to come in, so hopefully I won't this time either. If I am, I won't get picked for a multi-day trial, since I already have airline tickets leaving on Monday. Still, taking Wednesday out isn't any fun, as I still have so much to finish, and I haven't even started packing my cube yet...
