Damn, you still on that thing?

Wanna tell me about it so you have to excuse yourself?

[gordonzola.livejournal.com]

well, we're already deliberating. we could have been done today if the windbag lawyers had finished earlier.

[lemon-says.livejournal.com]

Ugh, you know my feelings on windbag lawyers. May the rest of it go quickly.

[gordonzola.livejournal.com]

yeah, well tomorrow is a "day off" mysteriously. (golf game cough*cough*) but we should finish thursday morning.

what, the sheen is off metal dude, already?

[gordonzola.livejournal.com]

heh heh. He's not on my jury! Then I'd never want it to end!!

Demand they settle with pistols at dawn.

[gordonzola.livejournal.com]

as long as it's the lawyers. the plaintiff and defendent both seem ok.

[creepingivy.livejournal.com]

No good.

Only works when you've got everyone sufficently worked up enough so they'll get up at dawn to begin with..

Start insulting mothers.
That usually gets everyone ambitious.

What was the luch per diem?

[gordonzola.livejournal.com]

uh, zero!

$15/day total pay.

Woah! That is bad. Here in England you get £5 a day (about $8.50) for food, but up to £60 a day for your time (about $105) if you earn that much in your job. And they had free internet in the court I was in! Do you get a bunch of no-shows each time? Or are they really harsh on that?

[gordonzola.livejournal.com]

here they rely on one's workplace covering part of the juror's pay, inasmuch as they care at all. My workplace, basically, covers half of time missed but many pay nothing at all.

Honestly, I don't really think they do anything to no-shows. They could issue an arrest warrant, but I've never heard of it happening. I hear rumors of people who just throw out the notices every year, but then when they called roll, almost everyone was there.

Oh I so feel you with that shit.. It's like they force you by law to come sit in their jury room just so that they can charge you $9/hr to use the wifi.

and not a good sandwich for a mile in either direction. I hate that place.

[gordonzola.livejournal.com]

no no. this is Civil. The cafeteria at 400 McCallister is great and pretty cheap. I was amazed.

when the case is over

[slipkid.livejournal.com]

then can you tell us about it?!?! I really would like to know more about it. how about just telling us the story of what the case was about without naming names? please!?!
