I think they give you some token amount to go in, and if you can't work that day, you don't get paid by your real job, so it means you're out of pocket quite significantly.<br /><br />If you're not casual, you have to give that money to your employers, but that doesn't mean they'll be happy you're not at work. I've only recently aquired someone who can fill in for me if I'm away, but for the last 5 years, if I wasn't here, my boss didn't bother coming in to work, because he struggles trying to operate the fax machine, let alone anything else. So yeah. He wouldn't have been impressed if I was called up to jury duty.<br /><br />Plus, it's boring. Who wants to sit through a 3 day civil trial?

Apparently the health industry means we are "indispensable". <br /><br />And I used to get harrassed all the time for my opinions. My best one is when I got asked about coffee places, and I couldn't remember the name of "Starbucks". I just said, "Oh you know, that really bad American shit coffee place...". The phone person went quiet, at which point I realised, they were asking questions on behalf of said shit coffee place.
