It took a few hrs to ultimately be seated on a jury. A medical malpractice case, which took the entire week. It was more interesting than going to work, for sure. I was compensated in full by my employer, and also got a couple hundred $ from the state. I would happily do it again.

No, but you are responsible for having proper clothing and a car that can function in the winter. Maybe even a snow shovel and some sand/salt. When we have an ice event, like we just had, all bets are off, so refer to instructions at the top. Were you not around for the ice storm in ‘08? Were you a little kid? All bets are off for acts of nature. Not recommended is complaining, because even if you direct it towards the ice, it will not melt. Forgive me, because it’s Sunday and my manager is not in. But if you can wait until tomorrow, you can reach her at 1-800-iamabigbaby. Her name is Mother Nature and she won’t be as patient and caring as I am. Thank you for understanding, Karen, and we’ll see you again this week, for sure…😘

Found a metal clip in my burger at the Galleria Cheescake Factory in Cambridge. The 1st and last time I ever went to Cheesecake Factory.

I was working down in Worcester that day, and by early evening the trees were so weighed down by ice they were literally exploding into toothpicks and ice cubes. It was spectacular from my safe vantage point, at the time. Honestly didn’t think that much of it until I got home to Ashburnham, and saw the neighbors fence crushed by a tree, and my backyard was a complete wreck. We lost power for only about 24 hrs. I had to drive around downed limbs and power lines to get to a grocery store that was running by generator. I hope it never happens again, and I now pay very close attention to that potential weather combination.
