Re: Jury Duty
I served on a jury last year. It was fun. I started smoking again so I could take regular breaks outside.

No. They pay you like $15 for the day. [/ QUOTE ] Why even bother? Good lord there is something terribly wrong with that. I can see them not wanting to give full compensation because that would make the wrong kind of people want jury duty but $15?!?! wow. |

Re: Jury Duty
Well, we are allowed to take breaks whenever we want, and if we are not here when they call a panel they just skip us. So it might even be possible to just get up and leave, as I suspect their threats are idle. In fact, there was just an article in Newsweek about how CA does nothing if you don't show up. But I am already in lots of trouble for not having auto insurance, stalking, etc., and don't want to test the authorities anymore.

[/ QUOTE ] I think it would be better if they required employers to compensate people while they are on jury duty. If the government reimbursed people, I think abuse would be much more likely. I don't know what to do about self employed people. |

Re: Jury Duty
"stalking"
I don't want to give any specifics. Let's just say I had never experienced a crush until 6 months ago. My crush is only semi-requited, and I don't know how to deal with it. I'm very socially awkward, I don't follow society's rules, and no doesn't always mean no, even if I'm not a good judge of when it does. -Michael |

" you just thorw those things in the mail when you get them and dont think another second about em."
Why do you throw them in the mail? You mean in the trash? Anyways, I am trying to uphold my civic duty. Plus, the idea of completely screwing over a bunch of people for days just by refusing to agree with them intrigues me. -Michael |
