What happened to spring? We haven't even had a whiff of it yet. It's been winter forever I think.
And precip-wise, it is snowing again.

Oh God...you have jury duty coming up? You have my condolences, Jeff...I hate being called in for jury duty, and was less than impressed with the byzantine workings of our court system when I was actually selected to serve on a jury. Considering how almost everyone seems to detest serving on juries, I think we should follow the European model and have cases adjudicated by panels of judges. It wouldn't be a perfect system, but then what system would?

I love jury duty. I always go. It was a summer job once for me during college. I was called for Federal Court in Boston, and you serve for 8 weeks, get paid for every day you have to go, and they pay your parking...sweet!

Well, I'm glad someone likes it! Different strokes for different folks, I guess. ::)

I hate Jury duty. I was on the most boring civil case ever!
Besides, here in Connecticut, your employer only has to pay you for one week. After that the State pays you $50 a day maximum.
