I thought so too, so I just checked. Two years ago, in fact.

I really like it… I get a day off work, get to sit for a few hours and read a book or play around on my laptop while I wait to be called, perhaps get called to a fairly interesting case (it’s happened twice already), then make a decision that actually has some meaning in this world, and to top it off, free lunch and a little bit of money. How can anyone not like it?
