about my chosen profession, I thought I would give you a taste of what a day in the life of a divorce lawyer is really like. Now bear in mind, confidentiality rules prohibit me from talking dirty about any of my cases. Alas, I borrowed this from another source. So while not mine, I think you can get the gist of what I am talking about:
Scene: Pending divorce case, filed in November of 2006. Both parties incomes individually exceed six figures, multiple businesses and properties, no debt relatively speaking, etc. After numerous temporary and amended temporary hearings, pre-trials, depositions, etc., the attorneys have finally reached a written marital settlement agreement.
Relief, right?
Actual conversation going into court on the day of the default hearing, after having informed the Judge the previous week that the parties had reached a stipulation on all issues, and the attorneys simply needed thirty minutes to put it on the record:
Client: I am not going to agree to this settlement.
Attorney: What? Why not?
Client: He is insisting that he gets the Director's Cut of the Lord of The Rings DVD while I just get the regular version.
Attorney: Are you serious?
Client: Dead serious. I am so sick and tired of him getting everything he wants. He has gotten everything he wants from me in the divorce. I am not giving this to him.
Attorney: I am not going in that room and telling the Judge that the agreement has collapsed because you want the Director's cut and so does he.
Client: I am not going to agree unless I get it.
Attorney (now joined by opposing counsel): We will buy the *&%$# Director's Cut DVD ourselves.
Client: I want the one we have; it is special.
Attorney: I am going to quit.
Client: Fine, you can buy me the DVD.
Attorney, five hours later, Barkeep, I'll take another!
And a toast to all of divorce lawyers out there!
Why is it when I have something absolutely brilliant (yes, dear readers, I know that is debatable in your mind) to say, I can't find the time to say it?
And yet, when I finally find the time to say it, the brilliance... well, let's just say it's fleeting.
Befuddling, I tell you.
I am most befuddled right now.
Hiya Folks~

Please write him if you can; he is dreadfully bored over there. From what we have heard, the conditions are pretty awful as well. Email if you are interested in sending a package to him; there is some stuff you should know that will make your life much easier.
Info is also posted on facebook.
My Ipod is outsmarting me again. I finally got the stupid thing out of German (I thought that was an accomplishment), but I can't--for the life of me-- seem to figure out the whole "playlist" feature.
Ipod helpers out there?
Nothing like going from this wonderful, winter weather...
To this.
It's ninety degrees, and I just hopped out of the spool. Thinking of ya'll...this is my postcard from Arizona; I am saving on postage this year.
