Around here we get a "pass" for 3 years too. And you don't actually have to serve to get the exemption, but you do have to sit in a room with the rest of the potential jury pool for up to 5 days, just waiting. But they have internet access set up at desks so people can bring their laptops and work. It's boring as hell, I've done it twice--the second time we got off halfway through day three. I never got chosen.
