Sheesh, I don't know what they think sometimes about being able to find people to sit on class action law suits with trials that take 2 mths! Jagr's work will only pay him for 20 days after that he would have gone on unpaid leave, lost his benefits etc. That's insane! Fortunately with his wife (moi) expecting twins and that little thing called MS (ok so MS isn't a factor right now) but loosing his income for a month ouch with the limited support mothers get... and given the current state of the economy man not a pleasant thought at all. Thank goodness for common sense and they excused him /cheers.
Does make me wonder tho...it's like it's a privilege to serve on a jury, and your public duty, but is it fair to put someone in a position where they can end up in debt just to serve?! Wow, how can anyone really afford to do it and keep living. We aren't badly off we really aren't but we have to watch our pennies I couldn't keep paying the rent on what I earn plus even think about saving money in that time to try and cope with the impending arrivals. Not like we have family to lean back on. The women that say I coped make me hoping mad honestly and pro rights as well. I mean it's heartbreaking I want these children but man we didn't plan on this pregnancy, we have debt to clear up, we have no support really who can babysit for us at the drop of a hat and unfortunately we are deemed to 'rich' to be considered poor enough for us to get government assistance.
You can't tell me that raising twins is going to be easy financially and emotionally. It's not like we were squirreling away money for this moment, and how can you plan for unexpected twins?! Oh I think we will be fine don't get me wrong but I consider ourselves somewhat fortunate, but! It only takes something happening to one of us and we could be in some serious trouble and then what? /Shiver meh I try not to think to hard or I would really get depressed :)
