I may have been lucky because I got a techy position and one thing that the U doesn't really have is tech degrees. They have CS but I doubt anyone from that program is going to want to come here for sub-40k starting pay.
But srsly I work for the biggest department in Journals (~40 ppl) and like one person went to school here.

I need input/help on wording a flier. We're trying to lure in 6 people to serve on a mock jury. It's in late Oct 9AM-3PM. Stipend is $50 and you get free lunch at a decent local pub. The target audience is W. Loop workers and UIC students.
My predecessor wrote "HAVE YOU EVER WANTED TO BE A JUROR BUT NOT BE ON A JURY?"
And my answer to that is "Hmm. Not really, no."
Can anyone get me started here? My cleverness and knack for luring in folks is at a low.
― Jesse, Monday, 1 October 2007 22:28 (sixteen years ago) link
If you're really looking for students, make the $50 and FREE FOOD the biggest parts.
― dan m, Monday, 1 October 2007 22:29 (sixteen years ago) link
I would be on a mock jury! That sounds like better money and food than being on a real jury. Also, nostalgia for high school social studies class.
― Jordan, Monday, 1 October 2007 22:30 (sixteen years ago) link
That was already done, actually.
It's the biggest thing on the page. I just hate that headline.
What is appealing about being on a mock jury for you guys, as intelligent, thoughtful people we would want on the jury. I wonder if they select the jury in the same way they would in court?
― Jesse, Monday, 1 October 2007 22:46 (sixteen years ago) link
I would think that a fake trial has a better chance of being an interesting case than a real one.
― Jordan, Monday, 1 October 2007 22:48 (sixteen years ago) link
I can think of two or three dudes off the top of my head who might be interested.
― dan m, Monday, 1 October 2007 22:50 (sixteen years ago) link
do you dream of glamour and intrigue? murder and espionage? have you ever wanted to be a film noir star? or maybe just wear a trenchcoat and dark glasses? well, we can't offer you all that, but we CAN give you free food, $50 and a day in the life of a juror!
― sisut, Monday, 1 October 2007 22:54 (sixteen years ago) link
You should ask who wants to be a Rural Juror!

If Kevin's on the jury, then I'm on the jury. Throw us another $20 and we'll add some fistcuffs.

Jesse, I am not going to talk about Radiohead on the internet.
I came to the conclusion last week that I spend too much time talking about stuff and not doing a very good job of it.
― Jeff, Tuesday, 2 October 2007 00:27 (sixteen years ago) link
Speaking of talking about stuff on the internet, have we yet collectively anticipated 30 Days of Night? Jordan? Because I am f'n ANTICIPATING 30 Days of Night. That is easily my favorite horror comic.
― Jenny, Tuesday, 2 October 2007 00:32 (sixteen years ago) link
Also: Sam Raimi!
Also: Vampires!

30! Days! of! Night!
― Jenny, Tuesday, 2 October 2007 00:40 (sixteen years ago) link
Okay, I'm done anticipating now.
― Jenny, Tuesday, 2 October 2007 00:49 (sixteen years ago) link
I lied! I was not done anticipating! I started a thread! That is the third thread I have ever started on all of ILX.
― Jenny, Tuesday, 2 October 2007 01:01 (sixteen years ago) link
Hi Jenny.
― Jesse, Tuesday, 2 October 2007 02:02 (sixteen years ago) link
I am going to go with a boring, stupid flier like The Predecessor made, and then I'm going to make a fun one, sort of like what Katie was suggesting.
― Jesse, Tuesday, 2 October 2007 02:03 (sixteen years ago) link
Then I'll present them both to The Partners.

DUNLAYS ON THE SQUARE

El Cid just renovated.
Oh yeah and that is 1.5 blocks from my house.
― dan m, Tuesday, 2 October 2007 02:15 (sixteen years ago) link
That's only if you're right by the actual square, though. It's a big neighborhood.

I am drinking Coors Light. Cheap (on sale) and tastes like water (a good thing at the moment).
― Jesse, Tuesday, 2 October 2007 03:22 (sixteen years ago) link
I am drinking the lone beer in my house. ;_;
― horseshoe, Tuesday, 2 October 2007 03:28 (sixteen years ago) link
I went to Foremost Liquors and got cheap Coors Light and hit their discontinued wine section. Last time I did that I got a 10 year old zin that turned out to be fascinating -- it showed a lot of age, and might have been coming to the point where it was undrinkable soon, but as it was it was the most interesting $8 I spent on booze maybe ever.
Anyway, tonight I got a bottle of zin for $5 and a German off-dry rose for $5. Here's hoping they work out as well.
I should really go to Foremost more often. It's in the Argyle ghetto, and it's pretty busted looking, but it's got awesome selection.
