I had an expert's dep yesterday morning... that dragged into yesterday afternoon... and then I had to run over to the courthouse to file some stuff... and wait in line to pay a $6 fee for an alias summons... the line being incredibly long because everybody else was filing one or more new cases (which takes time) and two of the five or six windows were actually open.<BR/><BR/>Well, there was a clerk at a third window, but she was opening and filing stuff that had come in the mail.<BR/><BR/>We have budget cuts in Cook County, you know.<BR/><BR/>And there were still more 'no fee' papers to file -- but the clerk wouldn't take them at the window when I finally got there and I wouldn't present them anyway, lest I be stoned by those waiting behind me.<BR/><BR/>So I got in line at the self-serve no-fee file-stamping machine.<BR/><BR/>By the time I got back to the office this post was all I <I>could</I> do... despite all my other top priorities.<BR/><BR/>But I rallied... sort of.<BR/><BR/>And here I am again.<BR/><BR/>And, Jeni, thanks, a little levity does help. But how did you know I was smirking?<BR/><BR/>And, Ralph... this <I>isn't</I> the real world? Could someone wake me up, then, please?The Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14723009641287783218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19673259.post-85024845003845045902008-01-16T20:12:00.000-06:002008-01-16T20:12:00.000-06:00Honestly, how can everything be so more important ...Honestly, how can everything be so more important than anything else??
