what are you looking at

dig if you will a picture

the sun came out today in Seattle, clear, cold, crisp.

Icy roads everywhere in the Puget Sound area, except downtown Seattle, which was dry and clear, which works for me because I ride a bike in downtown Seattle. I'll take dry and clear and cold and crisp. thank you. thank you very much.

Today I filed a high profile case in King County Superior Court. A case so big that the press conference started before the documents were even filed. The court opend two hours late today because of the weather and the press conference went on without the essential info. The attorney handed me the documents in his office, then followed me to the court house. I beat him there, by about 9 minutes, but he caught up to me as I stood in line. I approached the clerk to file and asked the attorney if he wanted to do it himself and he said "No I'll watch you". He stood next to me and watched me to ensure that the rubber stamps were of the highest quality, and as soon as the cause number and judge were assigned he made a phone call, I finished stamping out the copies and he took it out of my hands. My question is, Why did it get in my hands in the first place? Perhaps because they don't teach you to sling rubber stamps in law school. Leave that to the pros like me. The clerk thought I was training the guy to be a messenger, she laughed when I whispered to her that he's the attorney. And then five hours later, I got copies of the documents back in my hands to serve on the defendant. And I served 'em, completing the circle. I like circles.

How difficult is the test? How many aspiring suits got their hands and sleves covered in ink? Maybe they really should leave it to the professionals. Carry on Mr. Redlip.

Sadly, they don't offer RS101 (that's rubber stamping, for those of you not paying attention) at law school, but they do offer 3 years of BS101. Most kids seem to love that class, but personally I'd opt for some down and dirty stamping at a courthouse anyday.

Hey Andrea, BS101 teaches you to think you're learning something, and it has a built in timing mechanism that makes you take out the maximum amount of student loans before you realize it's all BS. It's all BS out here, in there, everywhere. BS, I'll drink to that.
