double feature today
Even though I got about 7 1/2 hours of sleep last night, I still woke up tired. I read a chapter of HP#5 while waiting for Tiffany to get out of the bathroom. (She takes a long time.) Trains were crowded this morning. I don't really mind. I listen to The Fray (everyone go out and buy "How to Save a Life." it's excellent.) and have a grand old time.
I was actually occupied the whole day today, except for lunch, when I took a break and read "Sanguinarium." (For those of you out there not obsessed, "Sanguinarium" is a 4th season episode of The X-Files. One of the best sites on the internet is www.insidethex.co.uk. There one can find [sometimes commentates] transcripts of the entire series, including the movie, The Lone Gunmen series, and the Simpsons episode "The Springfield Files." But I digress.) (Stop mocking me. I know you are.)
When I got to work, I was going to work on the tape transcription for Kristi's trial. But I couldn't find the tape. I called Janese and left a message, wondering where it was. In the meantime, I prepped some cases. A little while later, Kelli came in and told me that Kristi needed me to sit in a trial and take notes so that Kristi could go meet with a client. So I sat in a probate hearing, taking notes on testimony. I've never done that before. It was pretty cool, and I felt important. Then Kristi came back and relieved me. I went back to prepping cases. Janese called back and said that the tape was in Yvette's office. So I walked across the street to the office to get the tape. Came back to the courthouse. Finished prepping cases. Then it was lunchtime.
After lunch, I set to work on transcribing the tape. It was slow-going. The tape was pretty poor quality. The petitioner had tape-recorded some phone conversations with the respondent. Then there was some random stuff on it. I'm not sure what some of that stuff was about, but whatever. Just as I finished that, Kimberly emailed me and asked me to come back to the office to help her out. So I went over there. Kimberly, Kristi and I sat in Yvette's office for a while, and the four of us talked. Then I helped Kimberly with some filing. Then I went home. It was a good day. I'm kind of excited to go home and see Chicago on Thursday. Yea home.

I'm glad you had plenty to do today. There are few things worse than having nothing to do for 8 hours or so. Though I think you can find something better to do than read the script of an episode that you probably already had memorized anyway. (Don't worry. I was mocking you before you even mentioned the mocking. And I shall continue to mock. *mockity, mock, mock, mock*)
