Definitely a state-by-state issue.  When I went I was told by the jury 
duty people that the $12/day I was getting was supposed to cover my 
time off.  When I was making $50k/year...

On a lighter note it was where I started writing in journals and found 
that I enjoyed writing when I'm not stressed to do other things.

Like figure out which one of the DIMMS in my SS5 caused my webserver to
