I had a judge call me naive the other day. She then went on to tell me that sometimes I just need to accept that justice cannot be achieved. This from a woman that I had looked up to. Her early career was amazing. She accomplished some truly incredible things. It made me sad to see how cynical she had become. I know she was...

Why do people talk so loud on their cellphones? I'm so tired of seeing people screaming like they have lost their minds only to discover it's just somebody talking on their blue tooth. And what happened to people keeping conversations in public discreet? I know more than I ever want to know about the people I work with. Not to mention the strangers that I...

I can't decide if I am paranoid or not. It seems silly that you would be looking at this. I would hope you have better things to do. But you were certainly hinting at something. Something you think you can use against me. Not that it matters. I am not ashamed. I am not worried.

So if you are reading this, listen closely. You cannot...

Usually I love my job, but today work sucked. And it will probably continue to suck for a while. My clients are lying to me, other lawyers are lying to me, the federal government is lying to me...

Fuck.

I mean, it's not even the lying. People always lie. It's that I can't figure out why people are lying. Or what the truth is. Usually...

For the first time ever somebody at work made me feel old today.

I hate interns.

Other than that I am pretty happy at the moment.
