It's not that stupid really, but I'm just irritated to be here, after having had a great weekend. I'd much rather be home blogging more about the weekend, but I'm here at the office. Here's my dinner -- a whole wheat chicken burrito. For the record, I scraped off most of the guacamole and sour cream, didn't eat the rice, and only had two bites of the beans.
Earlier today, I thought I was just going to file a joinder to a demurrer. Upon further research, it looks like it's not such a good idea. (The joint demurrer must be overruled if the complaint is good as against any of the defendants jointly demurring. No way I'm chancing that.) So, now, instead of drafting a two-paragraph joinder, I'm drafting a full-blown demurrer. Blech.
There was one bright spot today. The mail brought me this:
This new card gets me to the front of the security line at any state courthouse in Los Angeles County (I was one of the first 1,500 attorneys to apply for this pilot program), so I don't have to wait with all the riff-raff.
Speaking of riff-raff, because there is no one else around, many of the motion-sensor lights are off, and my stupid firm's lame premature Halloween decorations have scared the bejeesus out of me several times tonight already, especially those damn mummy-like things, which are clinging to
four doors here.
It's all so dumb. We're not in second grade, yo. I'm embarrassed that clients will see this shit. Dumb, dumb, dumb! Stop wasting money on these tardo-fernardo decorations and fix my damn printer!
I will post locations on the
party blog very soon. If you haven't RSVPed yet, please do, so I may make reservations accordingly!
But first I need to finish this demurrer. Man, I'd much rather talk about the Wynn than whole wheat burritos and ugly spooktastic crap.
But I like spooktastic crap (and I like new words to add to my ever-expanding vocabulary)!
ReplyDeleteYour eatimg habits are to be admired. I would have eatem the guac ams sour cream first, them the rice, the beams amd the burrito last. I'm so proud of you! I'd also like to add that you're a merdo for that Courthouse VIP pass *smort*. Amd why the hell have you beem workimg so much lately? You truly meed to come joim me im the estate plammimg world my darlimg.
ReplyDeleteWe would rather read about your fun Wynn weekend too! There are so many cute Halloween decorations that an office can do...why do people, business office in particular, insist on using the typical monster decorations? Well, at least they are trying to get ya'll in the spirit! Happy demurrer writing...
ReplyDeletethose decorations would have scared the crap outta me too.
ReplyDeleteon the brighter side, at least the burrito looked sort of yummy :)
yeah, those decorations are scary! I'm not a Halloween fan. You're such a bad-ass with that court access card. :) Hope you got to go home shortly after this post. :(
ReplyDeletei hate when the automatic lights go off. i get creeped out even without spooktastic, minatory decorations everywhere. what a great neologism. heh.
ReplyDeleteokay...i would be so creeped out...things like that scare me to death...i once left universal studios haunted happenings crying like a baby and I was 21 one years old =(
ReplyDeletethose decorations would scare the bejesus outta me too. Especially if I worked as late as you.
ReplyDeleteThat burrito looks so tasty.
Ooooo Demurrers are my specialty - TAKE THAT stupid plaintiff!
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile we are completely decorationless in my office. And will remain so for eternity.
After years of watching Law & Order, I still have no idea what a demurrer is. But boo to demurrer for keeping you at work!!
ReplyDeleteholy crap is it halloween decoration time already? That is probably my least favorite holiday.... boo to that. oh wait i just punned. your dinner looks delish :)
ReplyDeletedoes your new access card get you front row at britney's child custody hearing??
I must be hungry.. I drooled a little over that burrito!
ReplyDeleteWork is shit-tastic. Scraping off the guac and sour cream is also shit-tastic. You are fantastic for sticking with work and your revised eating.
ReplyDeleteomg, for some reason, this entry friggin cracked me up.
ReplyDeletedude, your picture on that card is so cute - i bet they don't often have such happy looking ID photos!
