Nudged?
I got nudged???
Well, There's probably a good reason for not posting. The reason being a week of arraignments, where I get most of my new cases, and the ensuing "prisoner part", where I get all the happy little children who didn't manage to post bail.
All of this is tons of fun when you have a new judge who is well-meaning but not quite sure how to streamline the process.
I spent most of last week trying to get a 16 year old kid out of jail.... complications upon complications. And a new case I got has Newsday trying to get stories out of me. Had a women freak out on me because I told her that I'd rather speak to her (my client) than her friend who's helping her out. Time to brush off the resume.
And to top it off I had the ex call me tonight and question my parenting skills. Never mind that he's not at all involved in parenting.... he wants me to make my 14 yr old daughter listen to him. What 14 yr old ever listened to anyone????
Like I told Rachel, lately my soul has been floating in a tank full of feeder fish, each of them taking teeny bites out.
But I think I've managed to restore myself with these thoughts. I have an awesome daughter who is soooo much better than I was at her age. She's rebelled and gotten involved with the church. And Gil... who's just too good and somehow weathers my rampant psychoses.
*waves to everyone*
