Blergh.

I have half a post written from yesterday that I didn't get to finish because I am deeply into writing the motion from HELL.  Ah, for the days of law school when you had a whole semester in which to write a motion.  You could do exhaustive research, take copious notes, draft a detailed and comprehensive outline, and then write a beautiful motion.  In the real world, your boss forgets to tell anybody that there is a briefing schedule until two weeks after our motion was due and the court is threatening to dismiss our appeal for lack of prosecution.  So then we whip out a little legal razzle dazzle and get the motion pushed off a couple of weeks but now it's due now because the legal razzle dazzle failed (although no definite date, just don't want to get another threatening dismissal notice) and since I am the (only) one who writes the damn things I am trying to squash what should take two whole weeks (at least) of all of my time into two days amidst constant interruptions. 

Eventually I will finish this motion and then finish my post and then it's camping and s'mores!!  With no cellular service!!  Yay!!!

Blergh.

Cheers,

  2. I live in kind of a no-man's land where Portland, Lake Oswego, and Tigard and their respective counties all meet. Officially I'm in Southwest Portland but that covers such a huge area that I just tell people I live in the 'burbs. By a strip club and two massage parlors.
