These are fun!

CRAZY Cases this week...

So, those of you classmates that have already heard the wave file don't need to read this first paragraph. I'll paraphrase just for convenience. I had a simple -- or what I thought was simple -- traffic case that should have taken no more than 50 seconds. This kid brings in the neighborhood to vouch for his bubbly personality and in short, ends up getting them all arrested. I've never seen five officers move on a group of people so fast. And I, meanwhile, am sitting up front trying to get the peanut gallary's words down on my machine. It's just not happening. Thank God for backup recorders.

LOL, sorry. I just thought of the movie Independence Day will Will Smith. "We're looking for the best of the best of the best, sir." Well, quite frankly, the best of the best of the best would have had a problem with this case. It was complete and total chaos.

So, that was at the beginning of the week. The next case I had was my very first trial case, but one that didn't host an entire courtroom full of people. I was so excited, I got there an hour and half early. I couldn't contain myself. I surely didn't want to be late, so I figured I was better safe than sorry, so I decided to give myself some extra fluff time. LOL, I guess I kind of went overboard...just a little. It was SO freakin' cool though. I was sitting up front next to the clerk and the judge, all by my lonesome with a desk that was barely big enough to hold my laptop. But dangitt, this was MY case and I was going to rock it! (I know ya'll can see me saying that. LOL) It was a landlord/tenant case. Pretty simple, but I'll be damned if the wrong person won because of a simple technicality. Oh well, I'm just typing away, not my issue. But it sure was fun. No nerves today. Bring on the big stuff. I'm ready!

Minus the chair throwing, this is what it felt like. Did you get every word of that?

Extra Time

So, with all the cancelations, I have been finding a few hours during the week that I'm not used to having. What do you do at noon on Tuesday if you're not at work? I am starting to walk and keep better eating habits. I feel like I'm the only one here in DC that isn't active. LOL. Everyone runs or cycles here. My bike is not with me, so I just decided to find a park up the way and just walk the track...when I'm not editing of course.

I've found that the Eclipse software is quite cool. I love the fact that I don't have to take my hand off the keys to move around the document. Actually, I think it's pretty awesome. So, I will be putting Case up on eBay here soon. Might as well, I guess.

Okay...just wanted to say hi. I'm watching the Super Bowl and rooting against my sister's adopted team, the Patriots. BLAH! I don't like NY much, but I like them more than Mr. Perfect, so I might as well just root against 'em.
