Well, I finally got out of jury duty. It was really quite simple. I called
them, got through the robotic answering machine and actually managed to find
a real human to talk to. I told the girl on the other end of the line that I
live in Japan and she updated the records and told me everything is cool.

No problems at all except for having to wake up at 3am in order to catch
sepponia during normal working hours.
