Sunday seems like a good day for rambling...
I'm not a fan of daylight savings. I don't care that it gets lighter earlier. I'm rarely out during daylight hours anyway! But what concerns me is the loss of another hour of sleep. I CAN'T AFFORD TO LOSE ANOTHER DAMN HOUR OF SLEEP! At least not until the little guy starts sleeping through the night. Rumor has it this will happen one day...
I feel so old saying this...but I just don't understand the point of Twitter. Yeah, I have an account on there. No, I've never used it. Who cares if I'm running down the street to Subway for a quick turkey sub over my lunch break? Or that I'm on my way to pick up the little guy from daycare? Or...well...whatever other meaningless drivel I might post on there.
I'm watching "Minute to Win It" right now. It is a truly bizarre show. Right now a woman is trying to blow 51 cards off a bottle, leaving only a single card. If she can master this truly amazing feat, she wins $100,000. Why can't someone pay me for doing stupid shit like this? Who cares that I'd lose all credibility with my clients... I mean what corporation wouldn't want to be represented by a woman who can blow a bubble through a hula hoop 10 feet across the stage?
I had the worst day in court on Friday. I lost a motion which I had no logical reason to lose. I'm embarrassed to admit that. The judge lost sight of the law and decided to punish my client because one of its officers was, shall we say, less than candid during a deposition about the corporation's assets. SO... this means that a poor woman who is dying of cancer has to submit herself for a deposition within the next 30 days. I had a damn note from her doctor saying that the disease has affected her memory and that participation in litigation would be detrimental to her already failing health. That's fucking justice for you folks.
I'm going to recommend that the company file for bankruptcy. They need to file anyway and it'll have the nice side effect of staying the judge's order. And it will piss my adversary off. I'm all for anything that pisses off this prick.
Do you know stupid people are with Facebook? If you call out sick from work, do NOT post as your FB status that you're hopping a plane for Miami. If you're supposedly in the hospital attending to a sick relative, don't be stupid enough to post pics of you at a baseball game in the Bronx. This all happened with people in my office and yet, even caught in their lies, they don't get in trouble. I get bitched at if I don't turn in a brief on time and these guys outright lie to their boss and nothing happens to them. I hate when things aren't fair...
I haven't been able to eat sugar or fruit since August. I no longer have uncontrollable urges to suck down every sugary substance in a 5 mile radius and I haven't dreamed about apples in months. But today it's killing me. I was practically drooling over the jelly beans at the grocery store. And I'd do just about anything to be able to have a fruit smoothie. *sigh* oh well...
We tried out this new restaurant today for breakfast. It was terrible. Not only was the waitress horrible (how hard is it to bring silverware?), the food sucked. (And it's hard to screw up pancakes...) You can say I'm not a fan. Clearly they haven't worked all the kinks out yet but I'm not sure that I'm willing to give it a second chance. Anyone in this area, I'd recommend avoiding the Iron Skillet. But if you want to try it yourself, don't say I didn't warn you...
That's enough rambling. It's time to put the little guy to bed.

SHEW....I feel better for you having got all that off your chest!! :)
i'm excited about daylight savings time. now i can run after work any day i want to.
as for people and FB...morons. i can't believe some of the shit people post.
hope you have a better week.
I like the DST because it stays light out longer. Of course, it's all a trade off.
I have a Facebook and Twitter account, and don't use either. A lot of people in my family use FB, and that was the reason I started it. I used it briefly for going back and forth with family, and even reconnected with high school and college friends I haven't seen or heard of in over 30 some years. But I never used it for useless posts like "I'm bored" or "heading to the store now". The newness wore out and I haven't used it in months. Then I got a Twitter account, and that was all I did. Still haven't used it, and not sure why I even opened it.
I've been in court a few times myself, but not in your capacity as a lawyer. But suffice it to say that I've seen a few 'off the wall' decisions made by judges that left everyone scratching their heads.
Never tried an Iron Skillet.
What's up with sugar and fruit?
Very random, my love. I like changing the clocks b/c it's light at night, but I hate losing an hour of sleep. Oh well, whatcha gonna do? Hope you have a better week at work... you deserve it after last week!
I like daylight savings time. Michigan has such a short length of time with decent weather that maxing it out with sunlight is a good thing!
Sorry about the crap court loss the other day. :(
i was so out of sorts yesterday springing forward...love the court drama...
I like the extra daylight but will miss the extra hour of sleep. I think its a good trade off though. Looking forward to bike rides in the evenings with Son. Of course, we need the rain to leave first.
I like the extra daylight but it is hard for me to adjust to DST. I've been out of sorts for the last 2 days.
FB is Of The Devil and stupid people get what they deserve.
Love stupid people outing themselve on facebook.
Sorry you had a rough day in court.
You are right about stupid people on facebook...my niece posted via facebook mobile how fast she was driving and wondered who tol on her!! Our IHOP is terrible the pancakes taste like the frozen ones you get in the grocery store! Have a great week!
I am not a Twitter addict either so I am with you on that...and your FB random thoughts cracked me up bc my entire post today is about FB.
Sorry about your bad day in court. Red wine helps. :)
How old is your son? With you on Twitter, I joined but just don't have time to fiddle. I guess it's easier if you have an iPhone but apparently it's good for news travelling fast. It's amazing what people place on Facebook more than a few have been fired for declaring they're taking a sickie. When I'm in a position to hire someone, I always check their online presence first.
You probably react strongly to all the lawyer tv shows, they get the benefit of good writers, but there is substitute for reality is there?
The world has become Twitterized to death.
Secretia
Sometimes I wonder why I have Twitter. A few people I know have deleted their accounts. Also sometimes I wonder why I have Facebook- Can I really post what I am thinking and feeling on there? People get too nosey! I'm sorry your day in court was bad. Hope venting about things made you feel better!
Speaking of Twitter, have you seen that tv ad, I think it's for a phone company. It appears to be a news cast and the anchorman says something like "This just in. A 35 year old man has just announced he won't be going to the paintball game. He has chores to do around the house." There are a few differnet ones Quite funny.
