Where's Mary Tyler Moore? (May she rest in peace)
Today has been a nothing day. AN absolutely nothing day. I read some of your PB entries (it was nice catching up); I returned calls; and since the Administrative Assistants aren’t here today… I...
For ODSago
In a previous entry; a reader asked me about lawyer pay and billing and I started writing a note that would have been an aggressively long note. So here it is in Entry form and… if people read a...
Literally Taking 6 Minutes
So… I’ve tried to stay busy at work. 6 minute intervals and pushing to get paid. But it hasn’t been easy; or panning out well. I’m still lucky if I get more than 4 hours; and I’m averaging clo...
OUCH
I never NEVER NEVER thought I would say this: but I’m starting to think that moving was a mistake. Last night, my body was trashed. I felt like I was severely broken. I couldn’t get to sleep an...
Mother...
Karma is everything. I had nothing to do yesterday. Today I had 3.1 billable hours. Of course; it certainly FEELS like I should have more than that. My bosses arrived at 10:00 this morning. But ...
Slowly I am
Okay, can’t take it. Going crazy slowly I am. Yesterday… well, yeah, might as well give the whole of it. Yesterday, the commute to work took 55 minutes (usually takes 30) so it wasn’t a good st...
Five Second Entry
This morning I had an arraignment. Lovely man; hope I can help him. That took about a half hour. As I was leaving court; Chinese Boss calls and asks me to pick her up from her home. After the...
Not New
This isn’t a new entry. This is the continuation of the last one; I guess. BEcause… I still can’t get over it. Immigration Law is difficult. Especially when you’re trying to juggle cases of Cr...
Almost Cried
Thanks for the Birthday Greetings, friends! Last Night… semi-okay? Went to go work at home; got some research and studying done. THEN got a call at 5 from the bosses checking to see if I was st...
First Holiday of 4 in a row
Saturday is Free Comic Book Day. To celebrate; I hope to take Wife to the Local Comic Book Shoppe and then we shall attend Guardians of the Galaxy 2. Friday is Cinco De Mayo. No promises and no...
A Brief Word
There are certainly some things that still bother me about this job. AND… if I look back at this post in one year’s time and these things still bother me… I should take that to mean something si...
Melodramatic Whiner
This morning I woke up and felt like a metaphorical arrow was in my chest. Not pain, at least not pain in any perceivable increased way as to my usual pain, but something more existential. Do yo...
May Day
Happy May. It is rainy and cold here. Not a great way to start May. Today is expected to remain very rainy and get “as warm as” 47 degrees F. But the rest of the week looks good, so here’s h...
Weekend
After work on Friday, I went back home to shower and grab my bags. It took a while and set me behind actually a few hours more than anticipated. I got on the road and texted my buddy my expecte...
From the Back to the Middle
Last night, I was informed that I would have to go with Chinese Administrative Assistant (CAA) to the Ames office to interview a client and try to get a contract. The proposed client is screwed ...
Zgrnsg
Fuck, I’m tired. I woke up at 3 this morning. Went back to sleep. Woke up at 5:50 this morning. Went back to sleep. Woke up at 7 and had to move my ass. I shower, I dress, I go to kiss my s...
Snappy
This should be quick. (1) Woke up on time… but..................... Nope. This won’t be quick. Never mind. I’ll do the quick part, then I’ll rehash a long part, then that’ll be it. So… here’s ...
Busy Work Day?
Got in to work today; already had an assignment on my desk. A potential law suit in the range of $487,000 for our client. A client who is in to Rare Earth stuff. So… lots of issues abound. It ...
Cross-Cultural Question
A few years ago; it became public knowledge that Australia banned Pornography featuring women with breasts smaller than a C cup. The reasoning behind this was, officially, that pornographic mate...
Last Monday of April
From 8:30 to 11:08 am; I have been working relatively well. That is a grand total of 2 hours and 38 minutes (or 2.6 hours from Law Firm Perspective) and I’ve accumulated 1.7 hours of billable ti...
Fri Fri Fri Fri Friday
Today… I got to be more busy. Hooray! Always good. Studied some stuff, drafted some stuff. Granted… it never seems to correlate properly. A solid 4 hours of work translates into 2 hours of b...
Straddling Entry
I write this with the intent that it takes two days. Partly because my life has become more “mundane” so as not to require the daily; but also because… it feels important or necessary. Not that...
Reactions to Pain
The barometric pressure of the local area is crazy. We’re expected to get severe storms, tornado warnings, and a cold front slamming into a warm front. Or as the weather dude said: Highs in the...
Hya
Ow. I woke up this morning in super sore shape. I got up, though, showered, and left… typically, from when I left, I’d get to work a good 15 minutes early! Total gridlock on the road. Get a tex...
Monday 17
Good morning all! I hope everyone had good weekends and, for those that worship, excellent Easters. My weekend was… rather full, sadly. Omaha on Saturday and Easter all Sunday so… really not r...
Book Description
The name references a Japanese Battle whose important actions have been portrayed in Kabuki and Noh. I hope… in several ways… my actions of 2017 can be a shadow of the importance of that event.
