you know you're in trouble when...

I was just ordered to haul my butt up to Union County tomorrow morning to appear in opposition to a motion that I:

#1 - did not oppose

#2 - will not be paid for

#3 - have no client to represent

So you know what this means?

I'm going to get my head handed to me tomorrow. I joke all the time that my standing orders in this case are to avoid being arrested. There's a decent shot I'll get held in contempt tomorrow and spend a few hours in the county jail.

Wish me luck! I'm going to need it!

So how the hell does that work out? If they throw you in a cell, call me, I'll come save you!

Sounds like fun!

Do you get paid bonuses for this kind of stuff, or are these the "perks" of your job?

Ms S: Thanks. :) the judge went for beheading though. prolonged and painful. i was probably about 20 seconds shy of being held in contempt though.

Jormen: Sure. It's a barel of laughs today at the office. I really should get hazard pay for this! But you know the beatings are just one of the perks
