So… I got into the office today at 7:45 Did a few paperwork things that each counted as .1 on the time sheet. Waited for White Boss’ client to no show which counted as 1 on the time sheet. Then… ...


Back to the Monday. And I agreed to cover a hearing for White Boss. Which means I was in the office around 7:45; in Court around 8:10. Luckily, my back has healed well. Still have the incisio...


I had a surgery on Friday morning to remove two lipoma’s from my back. The surgery was okay; the lipoma were very thick. But the doctor said I had very thick skin; so I suppose that makes sense...


Statistics: Cracked.com did a good Reader Submitted Photo Entry about how relationships in Hollywood are different from relationships in real life. Of course, they bring up the one I (tend) to f...


I’m not the only person here that feels like life is just chasing after illusory and ill-defined concepts until you die unfulfilled am I? Granted, that is a depressing concept but… if other peop...


My sleep is all jacked up. So, previously… I’ve been waking up a lot in the night. Last night, I didn’t even get that far. I did not fall asleep until 3 a.m. This is not good! Just one more t...


Randomly writing because I am in the Satellite Office today. Good news of it is: No random unpaid bullshit. Bad news of it is: That means I only have my own client work to work on Worse news of i...


Not at all surprised and not at all happy. I woke up several times through the night. Once at 2 am. Once at 4:30 am. Then finally at 5:45 am. At that point, I figured… fuck it. Got out of be...


(1) Has anyone seen this movie (Mixed Nuts)? Steve Martin and a list of other celebrities. I loved this movie growing up. Which… may explain a lot. It isn’t exactly “Sponge Bob Goes to the Ma...


Sometimes… things go crazy. Lawyers are the kinds of people who (allegedly) are the ones that can find or MacGyver solutions when things go crazy. Not sure if we’re worthy of that distinction. ...


Last week was tough. Thursday was a 15 hour day. I had to work all day Saturday. And… Thursday, Friday, and Saturday were… dead days. Thursday: 15 hours on one client. Friday and Saturday: al...


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...


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...


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...


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...


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 ...


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...


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...


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...


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...


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...


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...


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...


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...


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...
