  ## hours) and produces a box plot of those values as a function of \code{day}.

  ##details<< Day of week levels in some of the sample data are represented by the 
  ## days of the week.  For the purposes of this function, weeks begin on 
  ## \code{Monday} and continue through \code{Sunday}.
  
  ##details<< Boxes in the plot that is produced from this function can help
  ## managers understand the resolution time on any given \code{dayOfWeek}.  If the 
  ## notches in a box overlap the heavy bar (i.e., the median resolution time)
  ## in an adjacent box, then the resolution time for that priority level is \emph{not}
