Damn I forgot how hot this icon is

Last night for a brief period I had internet - they're upgrading the hotel wireless, and had no block on for a bit. I discovered the fountains have fishies, yay. I had coffee overlooking fishies today.

Last night I hit a good gym - xsport, which had a surprisingly good array of free weight items and only charged a guest rate of $10. I'm on my down week but was worried about my body-chemical-crap if I had odd sleep, odd time, odd food, and no exercise to boot.

6am breakfast is full of suits and guys who just worked out. Most people mean running on a treadmmill or just running when they say work out.

My hotel room has bits of glitter around - I don't even remember drinking, never mind passing out or the strippers.

This trip reminds me I miss flattop grill.

I woke up at 2, 3, 4...did some more prep work, re-did work and re-ordered that work...I'm overprepped for this hearing but for all I know I'll get surprised by something I shouuld have caught. Yay performance anxiety - I think fear of failure works for me as an attorney. Couldn't I have done this months ago? Will I make it today? Should I rely on my memory more and not try to read a damn script when I over-prepare?

I'm panicking not knowing when I get my top ranking (but not most important) witness today, or if I get him, due to jury duty. I'm ready for several fights today on procedural grounds - none of which I'm likely to win and that's ok in each case. I've named this case "Rat in the kitchen" which is great after re-discovering the english beat (the beat) and other similar songs on alt radio baltimore.

Man there's like 3 alt radio stations on the same area of the dial out here. Why oh why does DC radio have no alt choices? You fucking suck DC. Ok, I probably suck for being the only person in USia that doesn't listen to an ipod 20 hours a day.

Yeah I'm in panic mode now. I blame the fucking suit. I want to finish the hearing just to get ouf of this fucking suit. Suits attract glitter.

(no subject)

Hi. I finished the hearing. Now I'm using free network internet before I go to the hotel.
I'm tired. Fried. Frazzled - but I worked the hearing. I think we won, but I think we won because of the case that landed on my desk rather than what I did. I also think opposing counsel was good, but IF I outgunned her it was only because I am an Agency employee with more resources. Maybe I'm better than her, but if I won any battles today it was because I had put in more time and know the Agency, regs, and issues better than she did.

Of course I won't know if I won until Jan - April of next year...

I guess I should eat. I feel like a drink but blowing those calories for a feeling when I'm alone is just odd. I don't have the glitter-spewing company my hotel's predecessor's appeared to.

Head hurts. So nice though, now my only job is to go home. FUg.
