Yeah in BookThree: Flight Log 2016

I called in late to work today. I woke up early, I planned on going in a few hours early and getting work done… and when I thought about it… it deflated me. Putting in all of this work… giving ...


Court Day today. Bad day. I woke up this morning and the world was pitch black and rainy. I think that makes it out of my 206 days in Tiny Town… at least 134 have been dark, grey, and rainy. T...


It is my sincere desire and hope that today will not be a noteworthy day. That I can survive today without any emotional meltdowns or Job Inspired Complete Bullshit. But… two things to throw ou...


1- My contact at the Prosecuting Attorney’s Training Counsel said that (1) as to the ex-parte issue; provided I disclose the communication to the opposing attorney, that fixes everything… and (2...


I woke up tired. Of course I did. Over the weekend, I saw friends and hung out with my family and that was good. Until I received a Voice Mail from an open Mental Health Case patient. RULES OF ...

Rage in BookThree: Flight Log 2016

People like to tell me that my situation would be better if I had a better attitude. People like to tell me that my situation would be better if I complained less. People like to tell me that I a...


I thought of a metaphor. Or a literary allusion. Or a way of describing something via something else. And it involves Harry Potter. While Harry was growing up, he felt ostracized and different....

Panic in BookThree: Flight Log 2016

Hello Anxiety. You bitch. I’m having what can only be described as a legitimate genuine panic attack. My heart is racing and breaking. I feel like vomiting. I want to scream at the top of my lu...


Good morning, one and all, and welcome to The Circus of Life. This morning, my first hour of the day was receiving notifications from judges and attorneys telling me that the things I had been wo...


Bah. I’m tired. The kind of tired where I want to sleep for seven months in a row. The kind of tired where it would be really nice to contract some horrible disease that lays me up in the hospi...

Private in BookThree: Flight Log 2016

Holy shit, I’m pathetic. This is/was going to be private… but I once promised myself that only things I was working on and intended to release would ever be private… and only so that I could wor...


I am very tired today. And in not so great a mood. Really, just feeling pretty seriously misanthropic today. In other words… Bernard Black from Black Books. But in Lawyer terms. Which is funny b...


Today was a district court day. So… I spent several hours in court doing nothing. But then… my life in this job is largely spent doing nothing. But I did enjoy speaking with other humans… a pa...

Feeling in BookThree: Flight Log 2016

I can’t explain it and it may turn out to be nothing; but I have a strange feeling. Something suggesting that today is going to be a bit different; but I can’t quite place my finger on it.

Peculiar in BookThree: Flight Log 2016

I am halfway through reading Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. I recently saw an advertisement for the movie on the television. I looked up the film on IMDB.COM. Something strange is a...


This is my “WEEKEND ENTRY” for this weekend. TO hear what has actually been going on; please refer to THIS entry. As is obvious to those who have been reading since September 19; I’ve been doing...


No phone calls, no replies. Humbug. Fittingly, I started my car up this morning and blaring from my radio (as the FM/AM is spotty out here, I have a CD changer on random) was “I got to get out o...

Z: 10/14 in BookThree: Flight Log 2016

And so it comes to the end of the Anime Alphabet.... and I have ZERO representations for Z. Not. A. Single. One. OH to get so far only to fail now!

Wisps in BookThree: Flight Log 2016

Today already feels like an intangible day of little substance. Didn’t hear from CR Job at all last night. Nothing of any excitement or value last night or this morning. Printed off a bunch of p...

Y: 10/13 in BookThree: Flight Log 2016


I haven’t felt like this since I was a Sophomore in High School waiting to see if I had made The Baker’s Dozen Elite Acting Troupe. The anticipation; the desperate need for it to be good news; t...

X: 10/12 in BookThree: Flight Log 2016


While it is true that I did not get the best vibe during my interview… I am hoping that my interview spoke to the Firm. And what I’m hoping they heard was: Here’s a kid that wants to work; that ...

Memories in BookThree: Flight Log 2016

I’m working on an entry in Drafts that attempts to chronologically place some of my stories. I think of it as a kind of “Hello, this is me” introduction piece. Unfortunately, some of the storie...

W: 10/11 in BookThree: Flight Log 2016

(I was trying not to repeat any shows; but she absolutely deserves to be W)
