I was dreamin' when I wrote this, so sue me if I go 2 fast

Yesterday, I argued my first oral argument on a motion for summary judgment in the morning, and I can tell you it was nothing like Moot Court. To say there was an "argument" would be an overstatement. In the afternoon, I defended depositions on my own for the first time. While I was "prepared" for both, I actually just pretended to know what I was doing. As far as I can tell, I didn't screw anything up beyond repair, and most of my objections were appropriate and warranted. Someone at the firm might have an issue with my on-the-record comments about my opposing counsel's hideous tie. His attitude was even worse, but I'd already objected to that.

I can't believe they license us and let us out in the legal world to wreak the havoc that we do. Really...

Several of the people at my firm are currently participating in the "Secret Santa"game. I opted out this year because I didn't feel like walking the Wal-mart aisles looking for $5 gifts. My good friend, T, threw her name into the hat. So she comes into my office the other day and says, "Apparently my Secret Santa does not know that I am Jewish. She got me a Christmas tree ornament." I said, "T, you're playing Secret Santa and you're Jewish. Shut up about the ornament."

I was late to work this morning because I couldn't find the shoes I planned on wearing. I had to change my entire outfit because I could only find one shoe in the closet. When I got home today, I found the other shoe outside on the patio next to one of Milo's dog bones. This has got to stop.

I opened a can of worms this week, and as a result, I am meeting up tomorrow afternoon with a guy I dated in my early twenties. I haven't seen him since 1999. He used to make me laugh like no one else could. Should be interesting.
