I got a jury summons.

[Jeebo]

64. It's a job that you do as part of your civic duty.

It's something you do with your mind, your body and your time, to accomplish an objective. That could even serve as a definition of the word "job". They get away with NOT paying minimum wage or issuing W2s by attaching a different label to the activity, by just calling it something else. They should not be allowed to get away with that. But now we're arguing about semantics. Those other people in the courtroom, the judge, the lawyers, the court reporter, the bailiff, are all cooperating along with the jurors to accomplish the same objective. Why can't you understand that I resent being paid $6 a DAY for doing different components of the same job that some of those lawyers get paid hundreds of dollars per HOUR for? That compensation differential is obscene, I tell you. And I resent the hell out of that. Please try to understand that. I have to go to Kinko's now to print the original post in this thread. My printer toner cartridges are out of ink.
