It was the best of times, it was the worst of times

Best: I started my new assignment today. GOT HOME AT 5:15pm! And I had time to go to the store on the way home!! This has not happened to me in MONTHS. I had an awesome meal finished when my hubby got home. Wow.Worst: The big game did not turn out as I had hoped...

Thank you, thank you, thank you

Thanks to all who voted for me in the Rodneys. As undeserved as I am, I actually won! And as a PD, I don't win all that much, so this means a lot.

It is ALL OVER!

Posted on January 06, 2008
Woohoo! I am finished with my horrible assignment! Transferring the hell out of this place will be the best thing about my time in the PD's office. Ok, maybe I'm being a bit dramatic. but seriously, the last 5 months here has been the worst bullshit of all time...

Last day to vote!

Posted on January 01, 2008
Hurry on over to PDStuff and vote for the Rodneys! And don't forget to vote for me as best blog by a female PD!! It is the last day to send out your love to all those hard working PD's who somehow find time to blog and entertain us. So vote!

Christmas vow

Posted on December 30, 2007
I am a big Christmas person, but somehow this year was Bullshit Christmas in my world. We didn't have time to get a tree! I didn't bake a single Christmas cookie! I did almost all of my shopping online. If it weren't for the fact that I saw How The Grinch Stole Christmas, It's a Wonderful Life, Christmas Story, and the awesome claymation Rudolph, Christmas would have really been lost...

I spent $60 on lunch yesterday! One of my pals and I took advantage of the light calendar and went to a fancy lunch. I mean FANCY! I even had a glass of wine. At lunch! Wtf???Seriously though, I need to do that stuff way more often.

Justice Thieves

Posted on December 25, 2007
This is a post I started writing a couple of weeks ago. Whoops! Let me preface it by saying that my courtroom is pretty much where justice comes to die...My trial for today got continued over my objection. I announced ready. People said not ready. No dismissal...

Wow!!

For some insane reason or another I have been nominated by the awesome PD site PDStuff for Best Female PD Blog of 2007! Yeah me! The rest of the nominees are way more deserving than me, but I am tickled pink nonetheless. Vote for me starting on Wednesday (yeah, yeah, it is my blog so I can plug myself if I like!)Thanks PDStuff!

"Guilty" Juries

Posted on December 25, 2007
I have decided that I am NEVER talking to another guilty jury again. It is my second loss in a row (I won one count and lost one count in both trials, but who cares as the counts merge for sentencing anyway) and this last jury was the first guilty one that I spoke with...

All apologies

Ok, so the judge calls me into chambers...Although I really did not want to have a discussion with the judge, I did not want her to think a) I was scared to talk to her or b) that I was being a spiteful asshole. I figured if there was something she wanted to clear up with me I was more than happy to hear about it...

Fighting Words

Posted on December 22, 2007
This week I was attacked on the record. My professionalism was questioned. My ethics were questioned. My dedication and responsibility to my clients was questioned.By the judge.My judge accused me, on the record, in front of an courtroom full of my clients of intentionally letting my clients bench warrant so that I could get the clock to start over so that my successor (I am getting transferred in another 2 weeks) would have to try the cases...

Word.
