Not A New Sentiment in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
First: The good news. I’ve boiled my billable hour workload to 8.7 Hours. The joy of researching Felony Cases, I suppose. So… in the next 14 hours, I need to accrue 8.7 billable hours. As I t...
Bullet Point For No Raisin in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
I wish I had the emotional energy to just read a whole bunch of Prosebox and get a full picture on how y’all are doing. I’m in that weird place at work. I have one client with 10 cases… but h...
Learn in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
Interesting thing to learn: Defense work is primarily a waiting game. Wait… then act. IF NO Clients: Wait for someone to break the law. Wait to get appointed or hired. Wait for the County to fil...
Court Days in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
This morning, I had a court appearance. So I got in at 8, court at 9 and was back in the office by 10:30. I had a bit to do today. I suppose there was enough to stretch it to maybe 4 hours. B...
Those Thoughts in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
Mondays suck. Not that such a profound and sweeping generalization is really something to break down but… they suck. For some weeks, Monday is when everything hits the fucking fan. That was l...
THe SoNG in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
This is the song I am signing in my head as I leave work today:
NOTE TO SELF in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
My less honorable qualities have me ignoring my own schedule, advice, and well being far too often because I would much rather be helping someone else, doing for someone else, or just focusing on...
Definitely feeling overwhelmed today. Many cases that all need work but the primary concern? I haven’t been paid for a private case that, if they don’t give me a grand in cash, I have to withdra...
Sensing a Pattern in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
Last night, I dreamt again. And I’m starting to sense a pattern. I was in a distant city in Iowa. It was flooding. And a very bad man that I was already after had gotten a job as a Police Offi...
Paper Bag Princess: Good Idea in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
Paper Bag Princess (whom I have known by other names) had a good point about analyzing the intangible benefits of the move. GRANTED I cannot nor will I ever be comfortable ignoring financial stab...
How?! in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
I keep wondering how in the hell people can exist in this world and not see what some others see. For example, the current scandal surrounding the Trump Administration’s ties to Russia. In the m...
Survey Because Kiss My Ass in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
1) If someone wanted to really understand you, what would they read, watch, and listen to? Read… I’d have to say “The Death and Life of Superman” by Roger Stern. Not because I am Superman but be...
Actually... in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
Y’know what… while I would love to be paid more… and frankly think I should be paid more… it is important to realize that (especially in the law)… we are never paid for everything we do. I have ...
Brief, As Always in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
Today is Sunday. I should be doing things. Instead, I am trying to catch up on sleep and just relax. Because… cases have gone off the rails. One of my cases has gotten dangerously unstable. So wh...
SHaring the News in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
Last night my wife was to get off work at 10. She called shortly thereafter in the hopes that she could vent about work on the drive home, so that the one or two hours we had together before I h...
Updating. Just sharing information. in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
Eye Appointment? Mild Glaucoma. Already significant damage to the optic nerves. Catching it early. Using eye drops. God, I hope that at least stops it. There is no way to reverse it. I’ll never...
Stuff, Junk in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
(1) I am very happy that my eye appointment is today. No idea if I’ll get help but… my eyes are important and getting that second opinion is going to be a life saver. (2) My private client is… i...
Not Worth It in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
Some days… things just don’t seem worth it. Last week I worked Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. I put in at least 3 billable hours every single one of those days (and ...
Sat in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
July 1. 6 years ago… this was the day before my wedding. Family gathering, plans settled. That night the family had the Reception and fireworks. It was a good night. Today? I woke up early and d...
Lighter in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
My Prosebox is all political bullshit, complaining, and heavy Real World stuff. I should have a lighter entry, even if it still holds a high risk of offending someone. What is it about a Raven C...
Everybody Get Random in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
Not that it is new but… my body and eyes hurt. I really hope that (after Wednesday) I can (1) get new glasses and (2) get eye drops to fix the high pressure. I honestly wouldn’t mind going bli...
Today... in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
Today is… a fairly pointless day. I’ve scheduled things. Things for tomorrow and things for Friday. Things for next week. But I haven’t done much TODAY. But instead of reading Prosebox (like...
Owowowowowowow in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
(1) Because I am “fat” I try to work out. (2) Because I have fibromyalgia; working out hurts. (3) Because I have fibromyalgia and the job I do; pain lasts a long time. (4) I am in a LOT of pain r...
Snap Quick in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
This morning I looked over my hours yesterday. It felt like I had worked a TON! So I added it all up. Over 7 hours of BILLABLE work! Awesome. Then my computer takes a shit and loses my billi...
Last in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
Today is the last day of Being In Charge of the Office. I… have not gotten much done, from a “true conclusion” perspective. I still have Immigration Cases that haven’t been filed (because… of c...
