‘Tis the Season
The holidays are definitely upon us. I’m still sick, it’s 2 below zero outside not counting the windchill, and I just whipped out a batch of 20 Christmas cards in about fifteen minutes. Hallmark would definitely NOT be impressed. I also need to bring all my co-worker gifts to work tomorrow. It’s quite neat - I spend about $75 on gifts for co-workers and get nothing in return. Yippee.
Ouch. I’m really full of holiday spirit. Or is that hormones and rage? I lost a trial today, so that didn’t put me in a great mood. The Judge finds my client guilty (rightfully so, I might add), and I hear a noise that sounds like a bull panting. It’s my client, flaring his nostrils and looking like he’s about to attack the Judge. What is WRONG with these people? Does the bull breathing thing really work to help you get what you want? I thought it was just an adolescent way of having a temper tantrum, but maybe there’s something to it. Maybe I’ll try the “bull breathing” technique the next time the Judge rules against me. And this kid’s parents. Sheesh! They don’t want to take him home, because there’s something wrong with him, and he doesn’t respect people. This statement was made directly after mother spent a good two minutes reaming me out in very rude terms. I wonder where he learned it from?
