I agreed to speak at a career day for a middle school this morning, three half-hour presentations that you share with another presenter.
As speakers are introducing themselves there are cops, firefighters, doctors, lawyers, vets, nurses, physical therapists, real estate brokers… and a modelling agency scout.  The nurse I was sitting next to leans over to me and says, “God, I hope I’m not paired up with the modelling agency.”

The first two presentations I was paired with a modelling agency scout and her intern.  Great.  Of course all the students wanted to know about the world of modelling and getting to travel around the world and be paid thousands each day. 

The third presentation I’m paired up with a deputy fire chief and I think, “Maybe the students will be interested in what I have to say this time.” And about halfway through his 15 minutes he runs out of things to talk about and says, “Well, I had some of the guys from the station bring in a fire engine.  It’s parked out back if you want to go take a look.” FML.

hahaha, ouch.

But hey, if you ever want to speak to my 3rd graders about LAWYERing, you know who to talk to. 

MONDAY

I yelled at a coworker this morning.

I saw him in the hallway, called him a bitch in front of my boss.

I have to sit next to him.

i don’t really want to be an attorney anymore.

^ why not?

I’ve been at the office for 12 hours now with no end in sight and an Ex Parte hearing at 8:30 tomorrow morning where the opposing counsel has already threatened me with sanctions for pursuing this course.

^i hope things went alright.

thanks.
it didn’t, but at least the client agreed to pay the fine and any future sanctions.

i don’t know what those words mean but it doesn’t sound like fun.

So.

Many.

Fights.

Went to the Pacquiao fight with some friends.

Watched a fight in the parking lot between some drunk Koreans (my friends) and some drunk suburban Str. Patrick’s folks.

Got into a fight later near my home, with some more drunk, suburban St. Patricks people.  It was initiated by my “faggy” haircut.  To be honest, I do have a faux hawk.  A girl got punched, not by me, but by a friend, who kept screaming “No mercy.”

Then went to a Korean bar, because well, I have no idea why.  Two fights in the parking lot.

Finally at home, being harassed by some random ass dudes.  My neighbor came out from his apt and hit one guy, and I couldn’t not be neighborly at that point.

No more going out on St. Patty’s in Chi anymore.

^uh, way to go?  did you win or is there any winning in these fights?

There is no winning.

^ That reminds me of a joke about being a winner at Special Olympics.

Love the warm weather but can feel slight allergy coming on.
