Weekend Business
Posted on March 22, 2009This weekend has been busy, but not overly hectic. Lounged for a bit yesterday morning, then decided to sort through the girls' dressers to evaluate the need for new spring clothes and weed out the outgrown, faded and holey clothes that they always manage to wear whenever I am not around to object...
Nope. I don't have a competitive streak
Posted on March 22, 2009Is it perverse that I get a thrill when I get to draft a response that pummels the other side? Really, it doesn't happen all that often. Generally there are not-so-clear cut issues that have to be craftily argued. And while I enjoy the challenge of the craftily argued motion, it is really more fun to pick apart the other side's motion apart and hammer them into the ground...
You can be a carnie!
Posted on March 15, 2009That's what PS said to me as I was standing in the bathroom complaining that I was growing a beard. (Seriously--why didn't anyone tell me that I would start turning into a man once I turned 30?)My kids are growing into real people--with senses of humor that are can be appreciated by someone over the age of 12...
Because y'all are always so helpful with this kind of thing . . .
Posted on March 10, 2009My paralegal's wife is having their first baby tomorrow. What should I get them? (And don't say a gift card--I know that is the obvious answer, but I'd like to go more personal. (And yes, I get the irony of asking complete strangers to help me pick out a personal gift for another complete stranger...
Apparently I looked like crap today
Posted on March 10, 2009Because at lest 4 people asked me what was wrong. The last one informed me that I have ginormous black bags under my eyes. Indeed, I caught a glimpse of myself in a mirror later in the day and it was not pretty.It's true that I haven't been sleeping well...
In case you were wondering . . .
Posted on March 09, 2009both salt and baking soda render nearly instant death to marigolds. I think we've discovered a new eco-friendly weed killer. Although, of course, weeds would never be as easy to kill as marigolds.Hmmm, maybe I need to pot some dandelions and see what happens...
Busy Sunday
Posted on March 08, 2009Woke up this morning and started making a chore list for my new nanny/housekeeper. Because she keeps doing stuff like cleaning out the kids' closets while ignoring things like making the kids pick up their books from the middle of the living room floor and loading the dishwasher...
The lawyers who make a bad name for the rest of us
Posted on February 25, 2009I just read the sleaziest most unprofessional demand letter that I have ever seen. It was dripping with sarcasm (it actually included the term "gee willakers") and personal attacks. My clients were called despicable, lazy, ignorant, stupid, liars and the list goes on...
What does it say about me . . .
Posted on February 22, 2009that the only Oscar-nominated movies that I have seen are the animated ones?
Pictoral evidence of the chaos that is my life.
Posted on February 20, 2009We dropped a particularly large load off at the cleaners this morning and I guess DH didn't bother to look through it to see what he was taking.I can't imagine what the people at the dry cleaners thought--hopefully this happens all the time. It doesn't look like they charged me for the bra,but it was noted on the ticket...
Life stuff
Posted on February 19, 2009So my hearing was more of a pretrial conference than a hearing. The judge wasn't even there. I met with the ADA, and got deferred adjudication, which is all I really wanted. And I made my nanny mad today because I informed her that I was cutting back from 5 days a week to 3 days a week...
There's not a prosecutor
Posted on February 18, 2009I forgot to add the funniest part to my rant in the last post. When I called the court clerk today I asked if I could find out the name of the prosecutor handling the case. She replied, "there isn't a prosecutor. The district attorney handles the case...
What have I gotten myself into now?
Posted on February 18, 2009I have a pretrial hearing in the morning. For my own speeding ticket. Yeah, I should have just 1) paid the darn thing; or 2) hired another lawyer to take care of it (seriously, though, who are the lawyers who go through law school to defend traffic tickets?)...
How a 7 year old runs up a $30 tab for ice cream.
Posted on February 17, 2009Every month or two I deposit money into my kids' lunch account for them to draw from. When it starts to get low I get an email letting me know so that I can deposit more.Today I got an email saying that SS's lunch account was getting low. I had just sent $120 to be divided among the three girls at the first of February...
My little princess
Posted on February 15, 2009PS is a good kid. She is the brainy kid in class who sits quietly and reads her book even when there is chaos all around her. Every teacher she has ever had has told me how well behaved she is and she never, ever gets in trouble at school. (But believe me, home is a totally different matter...
Yay! It's finally the weekend.
Posted on February 14, 2009This week was exhausting. We didn't have much of a weekend last week thanks to the twins' Luau party. Then I was sick for the better part of the week. On Thursday I didn't make it home until after 8 because we received a last minute filing from another party and Big Boss asked me to review it to determine if it was in compliance with the rules...
What to wear?
Posted on February 11, 2009On Friday I have to fly out of town to take depositions preceded by a scene inspection. The scene inspection is on a farm--out in the fields. This presents a fashion dilemma. 1) I need to look like a lawyer; 2) I need to be dressed to hike across potentially muddy fields; and 3) I need shoes that aren't a royal PITA to deal with in the airport security line...
Freaking out just a little bit
Posted on February 09, 2009I just received an explanation of benefits from my insurance company saying I owe some medical provider that I have never heard of over $1K for multiple treatments for PS over the last year. I don't think PS has even been to the doctor in the past year...
You're gonna have towork for this one
Posted on February 07, 2009I am a products defense attorney. Which means I defend corporations, some of which you would instantly recognize. I had a hearing on a motion to compel for one such client last week. Plaintiffs' counsel was visibly agitated that I had dragged him to court for this motion...
Don't call me an f'ing princess
Posted on February 04, 2009Yeah, opposing counsel told me that I was being a princess today. Seriously. And not in a sarcastic way either. I had just hung up and was scowling at the phone when Big Boss walked by and asked, "What's wrong?" So I told him. He laughed, "What's wrong with being called a princess? It's better than being called an asshole, which is what most people call me! I'd love it if someone called me a
What am I doing right now?
Posted on February 03, 2009Going through my old law school notes. Yeah . . . seriously. We have a case on a specific area of law that it well outside the area of law in which I usually practice. But I took the class on this area of law because it is on the bar. I spent most of my class time surfing the internet (3L Spring semester) and knew just enough to get by in class and pass the bar...
What would you do?
Posted on January 31, 2009Big Boss called me yesterday at about 5:30--maybe 20 minutes after he left the office (I almost wonder if he was checking to see if I was still there. It's true that when he stays past 5:30 I usually take off about 5 minutes after he does. Maybe somebody clued him in...
Email from PS . . .
Posted on January 31, 2009I was totally cracking up in my office when I got this. My Sage field trip is tomorrow and none of us know it so I need a THROW AWAY lunch. Could you please buy me one on your way home from work? I am sending this to both mom & dad so you might need to work out an agreement...
Alone
Posted on January 28, 2009Our offices were officially closed today due to inclement weather. (Yeah, that never happens.) But the roads defrosted around noon and I headed in anyway. I was expecting a call from a client, I am insanely busy, and I have to be out of the office all day tomorrow for an evidence examination out of town...
I swear I live in a sitcom--a bad, dark sitcom
Posted on January 27, 2009Work sucked again today. Work is sucking a lot lately--and not related to my screw-up last week (If you don't know what I'm talking about you're out of luck because in a flash of sensibility I pulled that post. If you do know what I'm talking about, I may have made it out to be worse than it really was...
Luau!
Posted on January 25, 2009Back in July I promised the twins that if we kept their birthday low-key I would let them have a big party with all of their friends at their half-birthday. The time has come. I talked them into a Luau party--because I have always wanted to throw one and it seemed like a nice break in the middle of a dreary winter...
Yet another entry in my baby lawyer book...
Posted on January 22, 2009My first malpractice. Yeah, I f'd up royally today. As in, I made a disclosure that I shouldn't have type of fuck up. What comes of it will depend upon the opposing counsel to whom I made the disclosure. But it is potentially a low six-figure fuck up...
