If I got four weeks of vacation, I don't think I'd complain about jury duty.
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
You are a very reasonable boss, ND.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I didn't do much work for ND but I'm pretty sure he is the best boss of all the bosses.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
You should ask if the therapist is single. And hot.
Shit, Dana, that's so funny I might just have to.
Strix, is that a new one? I would recommend going through more of the old ones if you haven't, ie, the ones that are generic and CHEAP. I'm on generic zoloft, for example. Or is there a specific reason that one is being recommended to you?

Our wings are not tired
Seriously?
That's what has always been quoted to me when I've been called for jury duty. In LA county the numbers are all a mess. They need something like a million jurors for the jury pool each year, and they only have an effective group to pull from of something like 1.8 million, so yeah, if you turn up you get called a lot.
I've been called more than once, but have never been placed on a jury.
As for my business, my rule of thumb when faced with a question of how to run my business is to do the thing I wish my former employers had done. I don't always succeed, but I do try. I also work under the idea that I will run my business the way that I think a businesses ought to be run, not how the current business community says they should be run. It may mean my business fails at some point, and if it does, at least I will be able to say it failed on my terms. So far, it's been successful.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Is that four weeks PAID? Holey moley. Nice!
