I love it. They need to get more people.

"Don' be e-scared"
Back thread -- that EW article? Terrific. Noise! May I call you Noise? I'm right there with you on the "collateral" damage to below-the-line people -- and it's not just crew people, it's all the businesses which are pilot fish to the industry. If I feel helpless about this cliff sprint, how must they feel? It makes me sick.
When the “moguls” say that this strike is good for their bottom line -- believe it. I am convinced they wanted this strike. I don’t think they were certain it would start as soon as it did, but I am further convinced they’re delighted we didn’t wait until summer. Corks a' poppin' delighted. I support the Guild’s position. I am mystified by the tactics. I have more to say. I won’t. When my jury service is up, I'll be out there with a sign, too.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Are you on a long trial, Tim?

My trials are only beginning.
Oh, that one? At least through the rest of the week, maybe longer.

Can you say what kind of trial it is?

I'm not supposed to talk about it all. So no.

Well, hope it's at least interesting.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I was actually really impressed by the people I served on a jury with earlier this year. People were not thrilled to be picked, but they took it really seriously once we were picked.

I got bounced from my only jury call for being a law student. At the time, I was really bummed. I still like observing trials, but you can get some really tedious civil cases that can be hell on a juror.
