Sep. 16th, 2011 07:45 amI'm sorry I'm so boring except for the part where I have regrets. Usually my best writing is based on unhappiness or some sort of pondering dissatisfaction. I'm happily boring - same gf, no drama; work full of win; friends being less crazy or at least not clinging to me like a drowning victim when they flail...I mean life isn't perfect, I had gym setbacks - but I'm still fighting and really there is no real point to mastering the gym etc.; my investments tanked but I have only sunk to an overall near-flatline, while my lifestyle continues to leave me accumulating cash to invest in the first place; I see less of Janna a little because of her grad school, but my hot gf is in grad school.
I mean I could write about work drama:
The day before yesterday our backstabbing little shit and the crazy bitch started a meeting claiming the prior supervisor (who isn't gone but is on detail, somewhat likely not to return) never sent out cost avoidance monthly reports or case listings of the entire branch to all members of the branch - trying to bolster their claims of unfair case assignments with an allegation of secrecy. This bugged me, so I did a quick search in my emails and pulled a list of about 10 such reports sent about once a quarter (though the cost avoidance didn't have any hits for some time) to show that their statements were not accurate...that was my first and last email on the subject, but the following shower of emails was sheer hilarity. Here's a hint - it's ok to be wrong and admit a mistake or inaccuracy, but if you really want to look like shit spend a lot of energy trying to change what you said and re-characterize the data showing what you said wasn't untrue.
I just got a 20 page response to my MSJ in the CA case, and I'm happy to report it's a steaming pile. I'm not only able to use it to bolster my arguments to decide the case without a hearing, but am bordering on asking for sanctions for the annoying attorney's conduct. Nothing makes me happy like tearing a lying fuckwad up in public with a referee to say "Yes, he was right and you suck. Here is a letter to the state bar assoc..."
But this doesn't make for good storytelling.
Last night I coffee'd with a friend to find that by neglecting facebook I was unaware her car was crushed by a tree.
