Yes, I've been a bad little blogger...
I'm not posting much.
Commenting even less frequently.
I haven't come up with a good idea for my new collaboration with Otin.
My Theme Thursday post was a total cop out...The truth is I was too tired to fully develop the plot. But thanks for saying you all liked it anyway.
And I'm getting my ass kicked by Jen and Hannah in Mr. C's competition.
Though I suppose that last one is a lesson in knowing your audience. If he had more male followers, I'd totally be in the lead. Then again, if all of you go over there and vote for me, I might be winning too :P Yes, that was a not so subtle hint. I HATE losing, what can I say?
Anyway, we have one week to go until the big case goes to trial. I was at the office at 3:30 yesterday morning and worked until 5 in the afternoon. I don't know how I managed to keep myself awake through dinner and an even larger mystery is how I was able to keep myself upright until about 8:30.
I have 20 briefs that have to be filed on Tuesday. In-house counsel is trying to make himself a witness in the case. My boss has me searching for documents that are in his office. I can't get a damn thing done because everyone is running to me to answer questions, tell them what they need to know about the case, fix their problems and keep all the balls in the air. And the weight of the responsibility that's been heaped on me is crushing me.
But... when I get past the fact that I have so much shit to do that I don't know where to start... when I forget about the fact that I can't close my eyes without dreaming this case... when I have a chance to just breathe...
I suppose this is a tremendous compliment to me and my abilities. He trusts me enough to dump everything on me. He isn't giving me any guidance whatsoever because he knows I can handle whatever problem comes up without his micromanaging everything. He's in awe of the fact that he mentions setting up a mock trial as I'm leaving the office and before he gets in the next morning, every detail is lined up.
7 more days.
Then maybe I can start to get back some semblance of a life.

seven days...at least you see an end in sight. you will do well i am sure.
trying to find the time to finish my next one with otin as well...
Way too busy Jaime! Just reading your post about what you have to do makes me sleepy! Just write me a ggod vampire beginning! :)
Based on what you've been saying since I've known you, you are the person for the job. You're absolutely right that they only heap all this crap on you because you handle it and do so masterfully.
ha! I know what you mean about the audience. If you visit me often you might recall me saying" What the F am I doing" about a hundred times....
lol
I'm sure Mr C will give us all a sloppy smooch come Monday :)
agghhh. I feel your pain. But we'll still be here when your case is over (7 days! woot!)
I went to mr c's to vote for you but I don't know which is yours. If you want me to cheat for you you have to give me crib notes. :)
Brian: every time i suggest doing a story with otin, i get slammed at work. it took us like 2 months to get the last one going
otin: if i write you a vamp story, you'll need to write the sex scene...
blue violet: aww...thanks!
jen: yeah yeah... easy to say as the girl who's kicking my ass!
bambi: i'm not asking you to cheat! i'm asking you to vote for the hottest post over there. ;)
voted!
Jaime I loved your entry, I think all 3 were top notch.
The most important thing is to win that trial!
I hate it when my job gets in the way of my blog! Oh, and sleep is a time stealer, too.
