It seems to me that EVERY employer should pay their employees when they have jury duty (however, I realize that federal law doesn't require this--but it SHOULD, dammit!) I mean, you're only doing your CIVIC DUTY (which you didn't ASK to do, your name was pulled out of a hat)--isn't it only FAIR that employers reward this?! (Okay, sorry for ranting in your comment area, Jim!)

Most hourly employers don't pay for Jury Duty because the government does. Even when I worked at E*D*S, they subtracted from my check what I got paid for jury duty. As for your list of accomplishments, you should feel very proud. I can't claim many of those items.

Jim When are you coming into Lansing? Will you be at Mark & Jane's anniversary party? Kevin's show out at the Ledge's? Would be cool to see ya. Kerry

Wow, I'd love to pay off charge cards and not need to use them!

Carrie, thanks for setting me straight on the jury duty pay. (Sorry Jim, I think I'd had too much caffeine when I added to your comment section!).

YAY on your financial accomplishments! You HAVE come a long way. When times are bad, you need to remind yourself... MY selfish wish is that you NOT book anything that would interfere with your visit here! (Then a recurring role in a series I like after you get back!)
