'Serenity'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
aurelia - that's awful, but also fascinating that real cities-that-have-trains are so efficient at getting back on-line after such things.
Go me - I managed to postpone jury duty yet again, without having to lie horribly. I was originally summoned for Sep '04, postponed to next Monday, and am now not on-call until June 6th. Whew.
Ugh, aurelia, that's terrible.
Oy, kat, that's not terrible, but still a PITA.
It's okay. There's a way around this. The stomper works fine. It's the alignment of labels to be printed that are an ish.
sigh.
Jury duty needs better compensation, as far as I can tell. Who can afford to get picked, for instance, for the Michael Jackson jury?
I can't see how it wouldn't bankrupt the courts, but still. It seems weird.

Sadly, I think CTA has some experience in this sort of thing. Of course the elevated tracks keep other vehicles out of the way on most of the lines, so there isn't the danger of derailment.
You're not supposed to lose salary for jury duty, I thought?
I wish my dinner would get here.

Professional jurors.

My company "will not compensate employees for such time off, unless required by law."
For some reason, I'd thought it wasn't. At least not here.
Am I wrong?

I have no idea. I only have a vague notion of the laws in the places I've actually lived! Because of course it would be state law, wouldn't it?
