They have two PC that they work on when he works on one as save tabs and goes to the other the tabs are all fine but if he works on the other and goes to the one the tabs will be all messed up and he will need to clear them before he can continue.

So I fulfilled my jury duty yesterday. For orientation, we watched a short video about serving as a juror. A couple of points of interest:

First, the Wisconsin State Supreme Court’s Chief Justice was chosen for jury duty a few years back. She said no profession is excluded from jury duty (but D — a former attorney — says that lawyers don’t like having former attorneys on the jury; I suppose a judge would be worse). Anyway, she was rejected (of course) but she said she was eager to serve. She didn’t sound eager.

Second, a judge in one segment said, “Has the jury chosen a foreperson?” This got me to thinking. If the judge said foreperson because she didn’t want to exclude women from her noun, perhaps she should have said foreperchild. Regardless, I will not use newspeak like that. I will not say foreperson, I will say foreman. Furthermore, when I say it, I will mean that the foreman could be a man or a woman….hmmm…perhaps we ought to change that noun (woman) too. Perhaps woperson would be better…or what about woperchild?
