Red Tape

On a recent trip to New York, I received jury summons in the mail (by the way, how did I, a citizen for just over two years get this while other long-time members of this public don't for years if at all?). The problem, of course, is that I don't reside in America right now. I [mistakenly it would seem] had thought I had taken care of this problem when I received a juror qualification questionnaire and indicated that very issue. It seems, however, that the New York County Clerk's Office is unable to understand its own paperwork. I realise that bureaucracy often implies that the right hand does not know what the left hand does/knows but this is the SAME BUREAUCRACY What makes it more hilarious is that I mailed my reply to the summons from Pakistan and indicated a Canadian address! Could it get any clearer that I don't live in the United States? Is anyone there using their brains?
