I was gonna post some pics. But the batteries in my camera are dead. Does the life of rechargeable batteries decline? I was surprised that they were dead already. Therefore, no pics for you.
I kinda wanted to add to my previous rant on the evilness of the snooze button. However, I thought better of [...]
Trials are so exhilarating, yet so frustrating. We are ready to go, we have spent so much time and effort sweetening up our file, building up the anticipation and nervousness on the other side. We are ready and willing. Baited breath – freshly minted, but baited. And the court shuts us down. The Judge swings [...]
I am curious, the dating scene has their set schedule for returning calls. In the business world, is there a similar timeline? Do you make it a point to return a call within a certain time period? Do you get pissy if someone does not return your call within that defined respectable period?
I practice a [...]
Something odd is amiss at Big Lawyers, Inc.
Months ago, when I left the firm, a strange behavior was coming to light in one of the secretaries. Several times a week, the late staying crowd would receive a call from her once she had left. And we would be asked to ensure that she had unplugged [...]
We have been asked to perform a good deed. We had two weeks in which to accomplish this request. I loved this idea and I can’t wait to read everyone’s posts!

Attorney: Or like you were kidnapped, held captive [...]
I have officially completed one week of work. My first worky-ness in 2007, for the Man. For a paycheck.
I enjoyed it. I enjoy the challenge of a new task. I met new people. I wore new (to me) clothes.
I did not enjoy getting up early. Or going to bed at an assigned time. [...]
Work has been stressing this week for the dear love of my life. In order to get him fed and see him for more than 2 minutes before he falls asleep, we had a picnic at his office last night.
Today is the last work day before he gets a 5-day break. Sometime soon, we [...]
I started working in the restaurant industry at the tender age of 17. I left the wonderful frozen yogurt industry for the lucrative career path of a Bennigan’s hostess. On my 18th birthday, I was thrilled, I could buy lotto tickets AND wait tables. Wow. A big day in a young girl’s life. I quickly [...]
