Wtf

5:25 pm train from NY Penn. today was a day of phone calls. From 9:15 am till 5:00. Straight, unadulterated, wall to wall phone calls. video chats. And conferences. And texts. And nothing got done. I feel as if my soul has been sucked from my lifeless corpse. I am going home. Thurs is wfh

7:10 am train to Penn. brutal chill this morning. Earlier cancelled trains so on some old equipment, and that means less seats. Not sleeping well, but being productive. May work from home tomorrow, depending. Will try to have dinner with great client. Right now tired. This weekend, me and 3

5:50 Pm train from Penn. 5:43 was cancelled. The train is hot and sweaty. Argued the last motion not written by me. Spent all day yesterday trying to make lemonade out of some serious lemons. zz thought I nailed it, but it’s the commercial division, so we conference and settle. Thus, we won.

7:10 am to New York Penn. another day, another motion to argue. Today, a motion to dismiss in NJ. High standard, and we are on the defense. And we get multiple bites at the apple. So, this morning I think. And write. And draft. And rewrite and draft until I have a simple story. Simple wins.

4:50 PM train from NY Penn. early train to attend my daughters NHS induction. Have to prep on that motion tomorrow. New email ai is pretty damn good - keeping things organized. Keep bumping up into 0 inbox. Much was done. Now, I will enjoy being a dad and some spicy pickles.

6:50 am train to Penn. Second daughter has N early morning, so got to the train to find all trains running a small delay. On the local. Terrible weather. Wearing the Drizabone. Dropping the bag and heading to court for a 9:30 am call. In person. Have a lot to get through in the next five days

5:50 pm train from NY Penn. and I thought today was not going to be a productive day. I tempted the collections g-ds. A cap request. An audit report response. A response to a grand jury subpoena. Two serious settlement proposals. Inquiries for services. A few retainer letters. Tonight e-mails.

Hey, MAGA... Welcome Back to Reality!!!

Great point.

NEW: Senate Democrats say they’ve set up portal for whistleblowers to alert “Any Potential Lawlessness Under The Trump Administration”

7:10 am to NY Penn. 27 degrees. Charcoal suit, yellow shirt. Blue tie. Charcoal hat. Listening to a political podcast for the first time since November. Was able to listen to politics over the weekend. Enough time in the corner. Time to work. My mom is surprised that I am an optimist.

7:20 pm from Penn. time to cram for this motion. I do my best work with my back up against the wall. I wish I was up against one of my friend/opposing counsel as opposed to this putz. It’s harder to win against someone who is bad at their job. So, we bang on the standard and keep moving forward

7:10 am to NY Penn. just made the train by the skin of my chin-e chin chin. Court tomorrow. Two big motions. And a potential snow storm. No pressure. Today is a prep and do day. No calls. No interruptions. Just getting things done. Bringing the laptop home out of abundance of caution.

6:27 PM from NY Penn. good day. Opinion sent. Audits moved forward. contract moved through the process and in final review in Dublin. My best email today was a financial planner complaining about a 10% late charge of 50 on 5000. Let that sink in. I’d not be putting my money with that one.

If I don’t get some coffee in me, things are gonna get ugly around here pretty soon.

So naturally, you know what to do…👇 Enjoy. 😎✨

7:10 to NY Penn leaving at 7:19. Brown suit. Brown poet. Long day of an IRS interview for a good client. Opinions must be issued. Contracts need to be reviewed. Responses need to be made. People need to be met. Projects need to be moved. Need to figure the return trip and dinner. Long week.

Call the Democrats and tell them we want AOC and Raskin in charge! FUCK THE CURRENT LEADERSHIP! They are enabling Trump and only gives a damn about their donors! Call PELOSI now! 202-225-4965

It’s like playing chess with a pigeon

FUN FACT: trump CAVED yet again today, this time to Canada, to postpone his tariffs another 30 days. The border security plans Canada is enacting were ALREADY planned while President Biden was in office.

Welcome to the Golden Age of Dipshittery.

Winning biggly

5:50 pm from NY Penn. Well, that was something. Everyone got hit with the stupid stick. Everyone thinks they are special. Everyone thinks they should not have to pay. Everyone forgets that I am in New York. I got the single seat on the train. I’ll be home, comfortable, and I can think.

7:10 am to NY Penn. back from Chewbacchus and eldest daughter in NOLA. Bad choices were had by all. A special thank you to CK and her dad for a nice brunch. Major Chewie. The little guy. Park View guesthouse. Joe the King Cake. And jazz lady. Dark suit. Cigar hat. Brooklyn in the back.

5:50 PM from NYP. It is done. It is filed. Now I square off with opposing counsel a week from tomorrow. Another fight to start tonight. And then there’s the service. I am so thankful for the addition by subtraction. I have a good crew here. Time to rest and keep working. Tomorrow.

Happy Lunar New Year

7:10 am to NYP. Got the brief to 20 pages. Dublin is reviewing. Today, we clean it up, and serve and file. Was up to 1 pm getting it into shape. Cigar grey hat. Dark suit. Down a pint on the coffee. Can’t decide on last night - coward or too tired. Was able to eat with my girls and finish.

5:50 train from NYP. So, I am a coward. Or I understand the better part of valor. The senior litigator was at the event I was supposed to be at. I just went nope and I walked out. I have enough on my plate to not need to engage in drama. Got the 39 pages down to 25. Goal in site! That my eve.

7:10 am to NYP. Had a solid 6 hours plus an hour or so after dinner watching Stargate with my kids. Feel like a certified pre-owned man. Brief needs to be complete today. Event this afternoon/evening for cross border UK. Spoke to the mistress of the sword last night and wished her a good LNY
