Yeah, same here. The jury selection was done until close to Noon so it took all morning. Glad I brought a book!

The last jury summons I received came a few days before Christmas, and I was getting ready for company, and it got lost in the shuffle and didn't get returned in time.

I didn't get arrested, so I think you are safe.

Perhaps it is not a very civic minded tactic but if you don't want to serve on jury duty, don't acknowledge you ever received the notice. It has never been known to get anyone in trouble.
