ouch. summoned for jury duty on may 30, 7:45am. unfortunately, since i was called to the criminal courts building downtown, it requires showing up for ten days or serving through one trial. on the bright side, i can take the subway there. for ten days of service, i'll make $150 (with that generous $0.15/mile one-way travel allowance and $15/day for each day but the first). a two-week metro pass is $21. (driving would cost about the same for gas alone, and probably wouldn't be any faster.)
