Jeff Wrangler:
Jury duty.
I got picked once, years ago, for a criminal trial, a very petty burglary case that ultimately got resolved somehow without the jury because one of the lawyers screwed up. :laugh: It was interesting, what I saw of it.
It's been more than five years since the last time I was called, because I haven't been called while I've been in my present job, but I actually don't remember how long it has been.
My current employer treats it as a paid absence, which is a good thing since the last time I was called, the jury pay was the princely sum of $9.00 a day. That's right, nine dollars a day. Not even enough to pay for your lunch.
At least Philadelphia has a one day-one trial system. If I don't get empanelled on Monday, I'm done. Until the next time I get called. ... :-\
Ellemeno:
I've never been called for jury duty. I can't figure out why.

Must be cause I got me some practice gabbin in (private) chat rooms with some master chatters before I started my climb. Also, I don't mind people seein me comin. I'm up for hours before you usually post yer top 10 and have never posted 'nothin' posts at the last minute before the picture gets taken.
Take me as I am - a pain sometimes, but an honest one!
(plus David - you did take a day off recently, didn't ya?!)

Yeah Jess. It's cold here. Unless you're one of those people who thinks 36 F is warm and tropical.
Thanks so much for rubbing it in! >:(
