I've been called probably 8 times in the past 35 years. I became a lawyer in 1987, so now I always get kicked off because of it.

I went to law school in Tacoma, about 85 miles from my home. Rather than commute, I got a cheap apartment and just came home on weekends. My wife got called to Federal jury duty- in Tacoma. Because she lived more than 50 miles away, they would put her up at the Sheraton, buy her meals, pay mileage, everything. We thought that was a great idea- kind of like conjugal visits in prison! She planned to order big meals and two plates, etc.- a mini vacation! Plan went awry because in the month she was on the panel, they never had a trial. DOH!

Yes, there can be repercussions if you don't show up. You're retired, if memory serves, and maybe you could look at it as doing two civic duties- the obvious one, plus taking the place of a working stiff for whom it is a REAL hardship.
