Briefly
Maybe my “stop writing” will just become really small quick entries instead of what I’d written before. If you or someone you know uses methamphetamine; please seek help. I just had to file beca...
Forced Hiatus
Shit. So… things are spiraling out of control. Like… this county, like most counties in Iowa, only has 1 Trial Date per month. AT MOST that means we can fit 24 trials per year if we PUSH REALLY...
A fun one (maaaaybe but unlikely NSFW)
So my first entry today was about house hunting and relationships and life… dense. My second entry today was about how I could be a badass if I was fictional… because people suck and IRL they are...
We Don't Get to Be Badass
One thing that is unfortunate about the difference between REAL LIFE Law and TV/CINEMA Law is that we don’t get to be badass even if the situation calls for it and we have the words for it. Indiv...
On Words and more surveys! lol
When I’m not feeling well, things become… weirder. Even without medication. And yeah, I’ve not taken any medication for any symptoms. My typing gets worse, for one. Typically, I’m a rapid pace...
Tragic?
I don’t know if this is tragic or wise. But whenever I get an impulse to share something on Facebook, I think better of it and come here to Prosebox instead. On Facebook… that stuff could easil...
@-->--->-----
The one thing I hope that I never lose in this job? The anger, the sorrow, and the desperate need to do more. Just got a phone call. A woman calmly telling me that I would be receiving a crimin...
Law is Not Your Emotions
I received an interesting (and I would consider it an excellent) compliment yesterday. A defense attorney said that she didn’t know HOW we could handle the political BS that comes with our jobs....
Lawn Mower Parents and Their Impact
A teacher friend of mine shared an article about “The New Helicopter Parents” and how the new breed is worse than the old breed. AND with a new name! Helicopter Parents are typically defined (ge...
Just a quick one
Hope everyone enjoyed their 3 Day Weekends, if you got one! I just wanted to write a quick entry tonight as my tomorrow may be so busy that I don’t have time to write. (1) Wife and I did another ...
A Brief Moment That....
A Brief Moment That Will Depict Me Both As Pathetic and As Vulnerable Today… all day… I’ve been feeling fat. That feeling of fat has turned to feeling bloated. Uncomfortable and Unflattering. A...
A Little Bit and Another Survey
I’m going over my case load looking at all of these people who have no chance of winning at trial but they demand to go to trial. It is their right to do so, and I cannot begrudge them the exerc...
Blargh Honk
So, don’t know exactly what is going on… but painful morning, really sleepy commute, and just a blah day in the first hour of work. I’m guessing it is probably to do with how busy we were yester...
If 3 To Get Ready, where is 5?
Public Entry. I’m feeling… tired from a busy day. Trying to use the afternoon to protect against problems in the immediate future. Not super likely to get my way on that. But I can hope. Tha...
Twitter Sized: The Law
Some days I think “Wow, I can’t believe I’m paid to do this job!” Other days I think, “Okay, jackass, don’t you think you’re being a little much here?” We have depositions and trials scheduled a...
Remind Me
It has been a long weekend and I know that there are important things happening… so remind me: (1) John McCain passed. I have a friend who said “fuck him, he hated Asians” and I was like… “well,...
Snippet of Outrage
This from the New York Times via BBC News: “The Department of Education (DoE) is looking at allowing states to use academic enrichment funds for firearms, the New York Times first reported.” In t...
30 Second Retort
I have been involved in Criminal Law for the last 8 years. Not a long time, but certainly more time spent with inmates, criminals, judges, and attorneys than most. This week, Trump has said two ...
'Ruption
I read an interesting article this morning that explained some things I’ve been seeing. Now, when I say “explains some things I’ve been seeing” that doesn’t mean “This article is true because it...
The Hate That Lives
I’m already working on another entry, but the last 24 hours have brought something to the forefront that I believe I need to speak on. As a Criminal Prosecutor, as an Attorney, as an Iowan… I fe...
(NSFW) Random But Not Random But Stated At A Random Time
So… I have over 17 things hanging out in my drafts folder. Yeah… many (perhaps most) are erotic stories I’ve been working on. Well, I say stories but you know I mean fantasies. But there are als...
Complaints
Happy Friday to all who are able to call Friday the end of the work week. I plan on spending this day largely preparing for Monday and my abundant litany of Juvenile Cases. However 3 things ar...
Weekend
So, I am here to write a full entry. I have this feeling in the back of my mind that I’m being cavalier and/or simply forgetting important things about doing my job. A bad feeling when your job...
Twitter Sized Entry
This will be quick as I am trying to use most of my energy to stave off pain. I had a big weekend. Will write about it later today. Big weekend means using my body; my body was not pleased. IN ...
As Expected
As expected, I got home and got busy doing other things. SO I did not write the sexy entry I wanted to. So.. uhm… imagine something awesomely sexy. Pretend I wrote it. Give me credit. lol. :...
Book Description
Life is not what I had hoped it would be at this point. Growing up, I always thought I would have a house, a wife, a dog, and at least one child by the time I was 34. Well, I turn 34 in 5 months and I can’t even get the house part right. Looking into the Future of Me… all I want in this world is that House and Beginning to Work Towards Adulthood. That is what I want. But working where I am as of January 2018? I don’t see a good path forward. Hopefully, something changes. Hopefully, I can make something happen or something happens for me. Until then, I just have to keep working through the maze… hope I find a little cheese now and then.
