The woman was down with her friends in Las Vegas this past weekend. I’m probably never going to really know what they all did down there but I’ve got a pretty good idea. I’ve got no problems with my speculative abilities, I’m mad at the denizens of Sin City. See, her MacBook and iPod were stolen from her hotel room. That really pisses me off. These were her things. I bought the MacBook for her last year and the iPod for Christmas. What the hell are you thieving bastards doing? You suck!
Received guilty on all seven counts in my most recent trial. It was a tough case with some questionable witnesses but the jury saw through all of the lies the defendant said and convicted him. There were some very messy days but the hard work really paid off in the end. Now it’s back to work on other cases.
I am really busy at work. I don’t believe I’ve been as busy as I am ever before at my current position. I completed a trial just seven working days ago and I’m now on day two of my current trial. Look, don’t get me wrong, I like trials. It’s a really great way to get out of the office and to slough off work on the co-workers (something I believe I’m really good at doing). It also lets me complain, swear in my office, and make generally poor comments about other people without getting into any trouble whatsoever. I view that as a massive bonus. On the flip-side, I am not supposed to be a trial attorney right now and my “real” job is suffering because of the office’s staffing shortages.
It is also really cold outside. I’ve been here for several years now and I cannot remember a string of days as cold as it has been since last week. It was -15 this morning on my drive to work. It was -17 yesterday. It was -10 on Sunday. Hell, we even had ice fog here in town. I’ve never seen ice fog in Anchorage before. When I lived in Fairbanks, we had it all the freaking time in winter but then again it was -40 at least every other week for a day or two each winter. We also had times when it never got hotter (using that term loosely) than -20 for weeks on end so ice fog was an annual occurrence. Now, ice fog is when the moisture from animals, people and buildings is trapped at a low altitude because it is too cold for the heat to rise. Mixed inside that fog (which is a collection of ice crystals at such low temperatures rather than actual water vapor) are all the nasty particulates of city life such as car exhaust, dust, wood smoke, building exhaust gases, and exhaust from coal-burning power stations.
Yummy!
With all of that in mind, can you agree with me that I can be in a crappy mood if I want?
On a side-note, I am really bummed that I do not have the disposable income to get rid of my cell phone and buy an iPhone. I really really really want one.
