    bostonman got a reaction from CheckCar in Jury Duty   
    I was on a jury once - it turned out to be a great experience, actually. The trial lasted 2 days, the case was interesting, and I feel like we made the right decision. (We ruled in favor of the plaintiff, but not for the total amount of damages he sued for, as we felt he overreached.) 
    However, the next time I was called for jury duty was just an awful day. I was called for a trial in the morning, but as they told us the trial would probably last through the week and I had valid conflicts, they let me go. I went back to the jury pool, assuming that might be it for the day, but then was called for a 2nd case. We weren't given a lunch break, and this voir dire dragged on...and the courtroom was FREEZING. (This was the end of July.) Then, they found their jury before I had been called up, so in essence I sat there all that time for nothing. I know...it happens. But that didn't make things any better, lol. 
    That said, if I did have another chance to actually be on a jury, I'd do it.

    bostonman got a reaction from Wanderoz in Russ in Brooklyn/NYC   
    One of my favorite moments when I met him -- it was on a business trip to NYC and this was the first time I had tried to hire in that kind of situation. We met in my hotel lobby and then we went back to my room. I was so nervous that I was fumbling with my key card to get it in the door...he simply put a reassuring arm around me. That was all I needed to know this was going to be just fine...

    I hired him a few years ago - he was terrific, a really nice guy, and hot. I do hope he's doing ok.

    bostonman got a reaction from + FreshFluff in escort - can we bring back the "E", please?   
    I wrestle with this one - because though it's wrong, I also think a lot of people use it in a facetious way, so that it's actually correct in their own context. But there are also surely people who don't realize it's not quite right.
     
    Similar to "begs the question," which really doesn't mean what a lot of people think it does, but then again, I think that "wrong" usage of it has come to be acceptable anyway.

    I would wonder if the "Lincoln Center (Opera)" category should just be "Opera" - so that it's not just Met-centric and doesn't potentially include the theatre portion of LC? And perhaps Opera could be its own category instead of a sub-topic under Music? Otherwise, thank you for all of this.

    That can go both ways, though. If there's a sense that there are hidden forums, that can also invite paranoia.
