Aww, NYC isn't such a bad place to serve jury duty now.  I just went 
in May, and I did all of my lesson plans, read an Alice Hoffman book 
and listened to GoF on tape.  The room was also quite comfy, but cold, 
and I sat in the window where the sun was coming in.  They also try 
now for us to be in and out in three days, which is exactly what 
happened.  They let me go early the first day and the second day I 
didn't even have to report until after 12.  The third day I called in 
like they asked, and I didn't have to go in at all.  It was kind of a 
welcome break from school.  Needless to say, my assistant principal 
was very happy - I've never felt so wanted!

That is very cool.  I wonder what her job is.  Does she work for the 
FBI or CIA or something?  Or maybe she is an Unspeakable (which is 
what I think the Potters might have been, BTW).
