yesterday i...
a spin off of my friend JR's Blog heres what I did yesterday...
1. went to the jail to see some county lovelies and didn't get too annoyed with any of them. afterwards, i met a new client and his big-ol-bossy sister. should be a fun few months!
2. had popcorn for lunch, and didn't burn it. i never want to be "that" person.
3. shredded a bunch of papers, and i still get all panicky if the shredder stops before i get the next batch in. i feel like it's a race: me vs. shredder. shredder usually wins.
4. laughed with DH about random stuff, stuff that wouldn't even make sense on here (that's why we're in love...hehe)
5. created a few cards for this lady's creative team. watch for a posting today with the cards on my scrappy blog!
6. continued to get all super excited about my fun weekend with S and JR and JR's parents and my mom, bro, his gf. can't wait for the boathouse!!!
what did you DO yesterday...what moments stand out as memories today??

Tuesday Jail Tale
You know it will be a quality day when the very first person you see at the jail is just plain bothersome. Annoying.
A few snippets of questions and answers from my interview with Anthony:
(remember, one of the things I say right at the beginning is “I’m not your lawyer, I don’t know about your case and I can’t do anything about your case or other cases you have.”
Me: single, married, divorced, widowed, separated?
A: single. But, I got a fiancé.
Me: how many kids do you have?
A: 2, but I have 4 step children, but they aren’t really mine, so I don’t know.
Me: the stepchildren, they your fiancés?
A: no, some other girls.
Me: what is your fiance’s name?
A: Tonisa, but I don’t really know her last name.
(so, you are marrying someone that you don’t really know the last name, could you like falsely know it?)
Me: Are you court ordered to pay child support?
A: well, see, that’s the thing, you need to file some papers right now to get my child support on hold so that way we can work together to get custody of my kids.
Me: well, see, I’m not your lawyer, so I don’t file any papers for you and we don’t work together on anything.
Me: Where do you work?
A: partial trainer
Me: partial trainer?
A: yup, I train a couple for 200 a month and a guy for 75 a month.
Me: train them in what?
A: you know, partial.
(I just give up at this point)
Me: how long you been doing that
A: since I left accelerated.
Me: well, I don’t know you, I don’t know when that was.
A: oh, yea. I want to say 3 years, maybe 2.5 years, I’ll say 2 years ago.
(tell me the truth, not what you want to say or what you will say.)
Happy Tuesday!

tales from the jail, encore!
the week sure got a little more interesting as far as jail tales are concerned!
1. I meet with a client for a regular office visit. She proceeds to begin coughing and coughing, and not just something in throat, cough. No, a juicy cough. So juicy in fact that she proceeds to wipe whatever junk came up on her pant leg. Then she looks at it, and back at her hand. I offer her a kleenex. She declines and states she is fine. I know my poker face was replaced with a disgusted look. Lysol wiped my desk for darn sure after that!
2. Client is meeting with the community service officer and informs her that he would like to do his hours at a local park to "learn a few things." She tells him this isn't possible because his current address is across town from the park and he has already explained that he has transportation issues. He says his address is subject to change. That he may move to one of the following locations:
a: across town, by the park, with his wife,
b: across town, a little farther from the park, with a lady friend, or
c: to a place of his own that is too small to have anyone live with him.
seriously, where do they come up with this stuff.
i have more, but those will be for tuesday's post, in case, you know, things go all mundane by then!

lights on please
One thing I've noticed about Ohio drivers is this: when it is gray, super rainy, and wipers are on high speed, headlights are not on. I don't know why this is, but I guess I just thought if you have your wipers on, you should prolly have your headlights on too. Even in the morning. Even in the afternoon. Even if it is "light" out, but still your vision is all blurry from the raindrops. Even if you drive a small white car. That way, other cars won't come up on you too fast and have trouble seeing you. And I won't have to witness this and wonder why you didn't have your headlights on. okay?
That, and please don't drive with the wipers on uber-super-cali-fragilistic high speed when it is just barely, teensy-weensy, sprinking out. okay?

tuesday tale from the jail
Not much as been happening in the jail that is too interesting or different than i've already shared....
today i was highly annoyed by the angry, cursing man with super stinky breath. he then proceeded to tell me 3 different addresses, that he was unemployed; yet living at his place of employment, and that he just doesn't know anyone in the area, but sometimes uses his grandmothers address (number 4) to get mail.
basically, he does not get my vote on getting out of jail...since even HE couldn't figure out where he'll go when he gets out.
I finally told him he was very confusing, which prompted more swearing and his ejection from the interview area. score. the other men from his dorm were highly well behaved and polite.
with stinky breath.
