We are helpless creatures

Posted in Work on August 3, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Our office is small, and more than one person with a sick child at a time can be cause for panic, for the obvious reason that we are extremely dependant on each other. This morning, a planned vacation, and dentist appointment, a broken alarm clock, and a sick child led to the unfavorable situation where [...]

Ahh, Summertime.

The orkin man called me today to tell me that they have a special on mosquito treatments right now. A steal for only $70 a month. When I got to work this morning it was so hot in my office that I almost had to go downstairs to the conference room to drink my coffee. [...]

Dehydration is the enemy

We had a trial yesterday. Trials don’t happen very often in my line of the law, and so when they do it is a big deal. We worked all last week and all Sunday afternoon to be prepared. I was at the courthouse at 8:15 to get someone to show me the multimedia. Trial was [...]

1. Call Bloomingdales from work to order lingere for bachelorette party. Try to be quiet as you ask for Hanky Panky Low Rise Thong. When the girl ask you if you want the ones with lace all over or not, try to ignore that your boss just walked in the room and is looking at [...]

Bill spent all last week telling me that eating starburst jelly beans was going to kill me. I almost choked on one just a second ago. I think if it hasn’t already been partially dissolved I might have been in real trouble. Do you think that is what he meant?

This weather is killing me. Slowly. My soul dies a little for every hour I have to be inside. I can see the trees and the puffy clouds through my pollen coated window. I think about my new little backyard and the new little plants I bought at lowes the other day. They have been calling [...]

Without Coffee, life would be much less bearable

I know I’ve told y’all before how much I love coffee, but I just thought I’d remind you. Lots of huge important things have happened this week, my car hit 180,000 miles, I won my first case, and I had to go back into my house the other day to get my shoes because I’d [...]

I’m going to dry clean your mouth out if you keep talking like that

Posted in Briscoe, Current Affairs, Work on January 15, 2009 | 1 Comment »

Can I tell you how many things I’ve spilled on myself today? No really, I won’t, because it seriously damages my credibility as an adult. Needless to say, I need a good dry cleaner. Britt, do you know of any good dry cleaners near our house? A few months ago I spilled coffee all over [...]
