Does this mean that the black ring searches out the most dead person in the world?

Edward Cullen: Black Lantern.

Agreed about Guy. He's even got the toddler haircut.

In 95 minutes, I have to call to see if I'm going to be on jury duty downtown tomorrow. Please send out no jury duty~ma Chicagoward!! For me to get downtown will involve a 90 minute drive both ways and up to a $30 parking fee to park next to the Daley Center. If I'm lucky, I'll get a $20 check for my day's efforts (last time I did jury duty, it was only $17). I'm on standby, and I'm hoping they'll say that they don't need me.

I just had jury duty and I only got a check for $17.20, Kathy.

I thought they hadn't raised it by much. Feh.

In better news, Adam Lambert goths it up.

My employer pays me in full for the day, but if I get any money, I have to pay it to them!

I just postponed to the week before Christmas because I cannot do it during theatre-- that is just lunacy. I also have a horrible feeling that if I get to the part where they are questioning me, I will get picked. Especially in interviews I seem really honest and non-judgemental, and I feel like the defense would like me and the prosecution wouldn't hate me. But who knows.

I would totally want you on my jury, Sophia.

I did jury duty in June. It was amazingly informative - and for the only time in my life I felt like a citizen (as opposed to "some faker who lives here and other people believe belongs").

I only got $10/day - and my employer didn't kick any money in. Contracting sucks.

I get $15 and parking costs $8.

I find out in 25 minutes.

(I do stilll get paid by work.)

Oh, I get paid by work, too. We used to have to turn over our checks to the company, but they don't have us do that anymore.

Are you on call tomorrow, too, sara?

Yup. They send out a slew of summons, numbered, but at 5 PM the day before post just a certain range of numbers that have to go downtown to sit all day.
