Aug. 11th, 2011 04:09 pmHello eljay. I feel like being social but I'm tired and don't want to be around people. Unlike my Obama-hating friend from Kroger's, whose yellow-toothed bad breath I failed to mention, I'm not illiterate enough to hop on facebook.
I won my hearing if not the case, and I desperately want to talk about it, but when poor Janna actually would listen to me I found I had no story to tell. I can't tell my coworkers or they'll think I'm a braggart, the people who were there care but I have to show some respect (but not privacy, as the proceedings were MSPB which is considered public, not private like EEO), and even if I had an audience (like Janna, please pity her) I'm finding I have no story to tell.
"My witnesses testified consistently about the events in question and their statements. There were no surprises other than my negligently unprepared deciding official, and my efforts with her are well-known and documented."
"For every flat denial the appellant made, I was a piece of paper to refute her statement - more often than not with her signature on it. I slammed her so bad the AJ asked me to finish, and opposing counsel failed to try any redirect."
"All my prep work paid off in spades. I was able to pull documents out of all my stacks of paper with ease since each was referenced in my hearing sketch with bates #s. I actually had to wait for the AJ to catch up, and opposing counsel didn't try."
"I spent so much time preparing that my general incompetence, inexperience, lack of intelligence, inability to quickly process information or recall facts was greatly masked."
I'm sore from the gym, hooray. Today is a not-work-out-day. Tomorrow is just bench and lat pulls. I used to care about the bench, now it's just that thing I do because it's what I used to care about. Really it's an exercise you do lying down - like it just doesn't count. However, I still haven't free-weight benched 225. More importantly, I carried 4 bags of groceries from the store door to my car, then from my car up four flights of stairs to my apt.
I want to drink, still, and TJs had oatmeal stout again, but I have to report to work tomorrow and unpack in a place I've never seen. I suspect evilRon has stolen half my shit by now.
On the plane I had to wait for a new cushion because someone spilled/dumped a drink on the seat. In this I met the pretty girl beside me, really pretty, who is a year from graduating from G-state with a degree in acctg, whose parents are accts, who is pretty damn normal, who has nice manners, and is old enough if that if I married and had a kid in or shortly after college, would be her age.
Speaking of pretty girls mine / my handler is out of town this weekend, so I get a um...vacation? I like my me-time but after an initial bout of yay-me and stretching my arms as if something was in the way a moment ago, and after a project tackling mood swing, I'll wind up with that vague missing something something feeling.
I'm boring.
