Emotions Blocking in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
My emotions do not work in my favor sometimes. I’m still pretty angry. Was angry last night and couldn’t get to sleep. Of course, first thing this morning the Investigator had found what I nee...
Head Explosion! in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
Yeah… Chinese Boss has zero sense of anything approaching a work/life balance. As I suspected, the e-mail boss sent me at 11 pm last night was “intended to be read when she sent it” instead of “i...
The reason I have doubts in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
So.... this job does make me reconsider being a lawyer. Despite what my mom said. Because it puts doubts in my head all the time. There was a big one today that I had to e-mail to Wife and Mom...
wu sản in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
Time moves slowly when you are slogging your way through neck deep bullshit all the time. Apparently, the last few Tuesday nights I’ve told Wife, “I can’t believe it is only Tuesday. Feels like...
TWITTER: Message Story in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
How is this for depressing! Announced is the name for the Han Solo standalone movie (a film whose very existence makes me cringe as I was a huge fan of the A.C. Crispen novels about young Han Sol...
Tuesday in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
Interesting stuff happened yesterday. Allegedly, interesting stuff could happen today. So… yesterday. My client doesn’t show up for his court appearance (as expected) but my Mom calls me. The “...
Tiny Town Hits Papers in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
This story I am here to share is not about Tiny Town. It is an Iowa Town on the Mississippi River. I was born in an Iowa Town on the Mississippi River… but not this one. The place where I was ...
MonNOOOO in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
I am in extreme pain. I can’t turn my head to the left and my lower back is killing me. I just sat through a 2 hour Juvenile Removal Hearing that could be summarized as follows: The State discove...
Sunday in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
As I write this it is 3:41 Central Standard Time. It is a pretty nice day outside. I walked the dog in a Skyrim Loop so he was surprised. Skyrim Loop meaning.. you start one place, take all so...
Saturday in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
A long day by my lonesome. I was going to take the dog out for a BIG OL walk; but it rained ALL DAY and the dog is VERY much not a fan of lightning and thunder. So… just me and the dog and video ...
Oooof course in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
Lots of things to start the day off… but lets jump straight into my favorite.... Last night, as every night, just before I left work I saved my billing form. I hit the little button that looks l...
Survey, I suppose in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
As I have been complaining too long, I wanted to do something different. Oh, I’m still complaining and unhappy. It is becoming more obvious to me that “Lawyer” may not have been the best choice...
The American Dream in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
I might not ever publish this one. I’ve already published two articles today. But then… a dark, dreary, rainy day where I am stuck in the Ames Office with ZERO other people tends to make me wan...
Religious Concept in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
I can’t believe it is only Wednesday. Every day this week has felt like 3 days. On a different note: So… it is fair to shout at the Heavens. Some would say that is proof of faith; shouting at t...
It is Official in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
Just a quick, weird, unfortunate thing… When I got home from work last night, Wife was working out to some of my favorite K-Pop music/music videos/dance videos… and I saw the videos and.... befor...
Again. RE: MORE in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
Did I need any more reason to want to leave my current job? No. Did I need another accusation in my life? No. A client… from months and months and months ago (JULY)… gave me $300 in cash. This w...
Macabre in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
It still disturbs me how strongly I hope for a car wreck on my drive to work. It is as if after about 8 minutes, I just naturally start thinking about how things would go if I got T-Boned or som...
nO RIGHt in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
I know that I am presently employed and therefore have no legitimate right to complain. That being said… do you know what the most depressing thing about actively looking for a job is? The realiz...
Where I'm Lucky in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
I am lucky in many ways. Granted… being afflicted with constant pain sucks. Granted… my wife having zero libido sucks. Granted… my job situation is almost abusively atrocious in some ways. But I ...
Interesting Hypothetical in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
Let’s say your spouse was a neurosurgeon. Lots of training, lots of time and stress. But four years after starting practice… your spouse comes to you and says, “I can’t do this anymore. It isn...
Comparisons in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
Yesterday, I talked to some friends of mine. Good people but far less educated (as far as Degree Comparisons.... I am not being a dick with “far less educated” they are some of my closest friend...
Reminder in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
I need to re-read some of my PB writing from last year. Because I am back in the mindset “I never should have left.” And I know better. I know that not being in Tiny Town is better. But when y...
In Preparation for... in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
So, this is THE topic of the week but… it makes some sense. When I saw the City Attorney job post… I felt a thrill that could only be described as Escape. I did an analysis focusing uniquely on ...
Visions in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
One of the things the Bosses discussed yesterday was “Vision”. White Boss wants to practice law, make money, and take care of his family. Chinese Boss has a vision. She wants to be “the most suc...
Writing in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
1:38 p.m. Central Standard Time Yes, second entry today. Yes, I should be “working.” But right now my working is mostly… making phone calls for my bosses and trying to figure things out for the...
