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...
Why I Do in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
I got into the Law because, frankly, injustice pisses me off. No, injustice is not “bad guys going free” and injustice is not “bad guys getting death sentences.” Injustice is three things (pers...
Mind in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
Apparently, I have a lot on my mind today. Which is good as there is a lot I want to get done today. But… of course… we’ll see how much (if any) I actually get done. Fingers crossed it is at l...
Y'lmow in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
I am in a pretty shitty head space today. I have my list of things to do. I have the ability to do it. But I’m having trouble getting past the deep desire to sleep for a couple of days.
Up in the Ames Office. Chinese Boss is very upset about my actions. It is so… funny? Strange? Bizarre? I know I can do this job. White Boss knows I can do this job. Chinese Assistant 1 and...
Briefly; But Not Too Briefly in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
(1) Yesterday, while I was at work… my wife and her parents enjoyed Des Moines. Shopping, Botanical Center, Restaurants. It was great for all three of them. I had a very rough day and came hom...
Whites Stick Together in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
Yes, that was a potentially racist as hell statement. While I would certainly hope to avoid contributing to racism… I am becoming exceedingly comfortable with my own racist thoughts provided the...
Haiku? in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
I am so tired I could use a vacation Relaxation peace Bosses leaving soon In charge of the firm this week too much to do here Pain and misery too often my allies now A hurtful friendship An exten...
Gr and Umph in Book Four: Ichi-no-Tani 2017
I know my Wife hates her job and by extension the majority of her life but sometimes… damn. My wife turned 37 on Friday. This Sunday is Father’s Day. Wife works all weekend. This has upset her...
