Random only somewhat law related post

The other day I had to go pick up a file for my boss. Not the most thrilling task but it was friday afternoon so I opted for anything that got me out from behind my desk. As I was driving, I was listening to the radio. Which in and of itself is pretty impressive since it seems like people rarely do that now with satellite and ipod transmitters (which I am totally addicted to). So here is what I concluded from my little journey: I really really fucking hate when they play songs in the middle of the day that have to be extremely edited to be appropriate for radio. For example: Puddle of Mudd, She fucking hates me. Ok it is in the song title. The gratuitous cussing in that song is what makes it great. Next: Buck Cherry Crazy Bitch. THe title should give you a hint there as to the content of the song. One more Nelly Must be the money. Seriously? You have to edit out all the lines about drugs? I understand the concern that children will here this stuff but really kids should be in school at this time so my radio should be uncensored. And they wonder why adults don't listen to the radio anymore. So much for the first amendment (there that was the law related part of the post).

Happy New Year....Late I know

So we have been bad about posting on here. Likely because we work at crazy firms and it just takes too much effort at the end of the day to get back on the computer and type something up.

Such would be the case today except since I am up and bored and TV is sucky, I thought I would post something. There were two things that promptly came to my mind:
  1. My big law firm friend who works in the litigation group bitches because all of a sudden she has 100 things to do. My small firm friend says the same. My very small firm life is the same way. Moral of the story: If you work in litigation, some days you have little some minutes you have tons. If you are getting 6 figures to deal with the 100 things on your desk, don't bitch to me.
  2. Clients call to check on their cases or to hire us. I get this. But sometimes I really don't have any new info. It is not my fault it is taking the court over a year to rule on your peitition. I swear, me calling them is not really going to help. Also, calling me at 530 and going on a tirade about whatever is not a good idea. Cut to the chase or stop talking. And by stop talking I do not mean hang up on me because nothing in the world pisses me off more. Oh and asking if I am the secretary immediately puts you on my annoying list.
That is all for now. I am off to have some wine and go to bed. Tomorrow's challenge: Calendar call. Stay tuned...
