I worked all weekend. Chicago, Mississippi, Detroit and back in Chicago. Please make it stop.

The plan to not work this week end? Went right to hell as it's 10:24 CST and I'm working.
And it is not good for this country that Rehnquist is dead. Not good at all.

TOO MUCH WORK. I'm am going to force myself to get away from it this wekend. Maybe.

Far too much shit going on in Itburns Land. Our new Orleans and Gulfport offices seem to no longer exist. Thank God that everyone and their fmalies is evacuated and OK, but this is not a good thing for my free time.

And in the end we find comfort in our old friends:

They slither wile, they pass, the slip away across the universe.
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind,
possessing and caressing me.

before they turn the summer into dust.
If the children don't grow up,...

So apparently the judge in Atlanta was rushed to the hospital Saturday, so the trial is continued. This is:

GOOD:Because I will have some free time in the next three weeks; because I can get caught up on paper work; and because there are some issues that need to be dealt with here in Chicago.

BAD:Because I was looking forward to seeing Barbarella...

So here's the weekend:
After handling some drama on Friday afternoon, I escorted the very beautiful Cat to dinner on Friday. We went out and about all across Chicago and were fabulous looking. Fuck feeling sad because other people are petty and mean, we got dressed up and did the town.
Work, work, work yesterday and then I went to a yuppie friend's birthday at...

I thought, given the fact that I'm 34 and do what I do for a living, that I could no longer be surprised by the depths people will sink out of spite. I was wrong. there is a family that fucked with the wrong widow. They will soon regret it.
