Things are starting to relax a little. I had to go back to the same court this afternoon on another matter, and when the judge’s courtroom deputy saw me, she asked, “You’re back here again? Didn’t you finish yesterday?” Of course, I had to tell her: “Yeah, didn’t they tell you? We’re reopening proofs on [...]

Still Here
Posted in Uncategorized on October 28, 2007 | 7 Comments »
Sorry – I know it’s been a while, and I really have no excuse, other than I’ve been working my petutie off.
Recap: There was a meeting of some kind, and the powers that be apparently decided they were happy with the current staff. By “staff”, they meant attorneys. So, no one is getting axed. [...]
After The Storm

I’m still angry. Fortunately, I know how to use my words, so I can say, “I’m still angry” without punching anyone. For now.
Something is not right with my blog – I had a whole post here about my conclusions about it, but I wanted to change something, and the whole thing was gone. Probably just [...]
It’s An Answer

At least it’s official. Apparently, one of the partners in the firm (third on the letterhead) has something cross-ways with me. I had my “mentoring” meeting yesterday, which (as I had suspected) is nothing more than a meeting to tell me the powers that be are not happy with something, and #3 wanted to be [...]
The Monster at the End of This Book

I thought about whether to post about this, but I finally decided to go ahead, since I know you guys get the concept.
This latest case (trial coming up October 29) is inducing the kind of paralyzing anxiety I haven’t felt for a long time. I just got off the phone with the bankruptcy court – [...]
Mistress of My Domain
Posted in Uncategorized on October 11, 2007 | 2 Comments »
One of the guys I work with asked, “Are you the captain of your ship? Are you master of your domain?” At the time, I said, “Yeah, sure, whatever.”
After I thought about it a bit, though, I realized I should have said, “I am captain of my ship, but it seems to be the Titanic. [...]
Impending Doom?
Posted in Uncategorized on October 9, 2007 | 6 Comments »
I don’t know how to identify this feeling other than as a sense of impending doom.
I might have mentioned that I got my hourly tally for last month, and I had 111.80 for the month, which would mean that I would have to bill 233 hours/month from now until the end of the year. Two [...]
Things that make you go “hmmmmmm….”

Wouldn’t this be perfect?
“…opportunity for you to develop your career in a challenging legal and compliance role within the Payment Protection Insurance organisation’s Central Region comprising France, Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland and Austria.”
[Sigh!]
If it weren’t for the horrendous quarantine process my poor dog would have to endure, I’d be on this like white on rice. [...]
Hoist with my own petard…..
Posted in Uncategorized on October 4, 2007 | 3 Comments »
Karma, schmarma. The office biatch (hereafter to be known as BOW – standing for “biatch on wheels”) decided that she didn’t have to go to the courthouse tomorrow after all, because everything she had allegedly cancelled, so she gave me the files back. I may have mentioned this to the office manager (thankfully, the partner’s secretary also [...]
Mwahahahaha

Yes, I know. Karma, what goes around comes around. I get it. I don’t care.
I have to share motion call tomorrow with the office biatch, and I was evil. I gave her two files – both of which are before judges who are notoriously tardy with their dockets. With any luck, she’ll be the one [...]
