Congratulations on your new career as a draughtswoman! You follow in the footsteps of such luminaries as Will Eisner and his work for the US Army in WWII.
Re: the jury duty. It wouldn't be so bad if they actually paid you something for the week of being in the pool or however long you serve if you're actually chosen but you get bumpkis in Ontario. It basically means that the only people on juries are retired or rich people. Your boss can't fire you for going off on jury duty but they don't have to pay you when you're gone either. If you can actually make a case that you and your dependants can't do without that income then you can write a note to that effect and see what they think of that. Even though I would have dearly loved to serve I had to go that route when my card came up.
