Not Currently Answering the Mail

Posted on December 21, 2011
So...it's been a while (approximately 2 years) since I last posted.In the meantime, I've been busy. I've had a few more JAG jobs and moved a couple of times. Unfortunately, what I *haven't* been doing is checking my LQ@gmail account. Imagine my surprise and embarrassment when I realized that a number of people have been emailing me in the last 2 years and I haven't been answering...

Facebook

Posted on January 28, 2009
Sometimes Facebook makes me laugh - especially when it suggests people I might like to be "friends" with.For example, today my former brother-in-law was one of the people Facebook thought I might know. Ok, so I wouldn't expect Facebook to know I used to be married to his brother, but did he come up because we have several friends in common? Nope...

Ever Have Someone In Your Office

Posted on January 08, 2009
Who is so incompetent that it would actually be easier if he never did ANY work because you spend more time correcting his errors than it would take you to do the project yourself? And sometimes, if you're very lucky, you'll get to make corrections TWICE because he only made some of your corrections the first time around.

Where Do All The Scissors Go?

Posted on August 25, 2008
The kids start school tomorrow, so in true LQ fashion, I was out doing the back-to-school shopping tonight. In my defense, the shopping list depends in part on assigned teachers, and we didn't find that key bit of information out until late.At any rate, I realized that once again, I have to buy scissors for Lil Q...

If someone honestly believes that Merlot should be served chilled, they probably also don't know much about picking out said Merlot. It's likely to give you a headache.

I'll Bet You Thought You Were Rid of Me

But no such luck. I've just been busy with work and/or out of town for the last couple of months. Alleghenyman asks the following question:Can you try to describe social life on base? I'm a little concerned about moving every two years and not making many friends in sleepy places like Arkansas or Dayton OH where I don't know anybody...

You Know You're Really A Lawyer When...

Posted on May 18, 2008
You're amazed when otherwise fair and rational people ask you questions like "How could you ever defend someone who is on trial for Crime X?!!!"It's a purely academic question for me at this point since I'm a prosecutor, but I've been asked this question twice in the last week - and both times I was completely flabbergasted...

What's In A Name?

Posted on May 12, 2008
Ok, folks. I need help.I'm in this class right now. And as part of this class, they split us into groups. (Because sometimes it's easier to do things in groups of, say, 12, instead of eighty-some. That's why.) Anyway, for ease of assignment, each group is currently called by a letter of the alphabet...

How Many?

Lip Sticks, Balms, Glosses, and Elixirs does a girl really need to carry in her purse.Apparently, in my case, no less than EIGHT.*Which goes a long way toward explaining why my purse is always so damned heavy.* Also - three packs of gum, a pedometer, two sets of nail clippers, 6 pens, a pack of Post-it notes, and a rosary.

This isn't really going to change that because I've got the start of a cold coming on and need to get to bed.BUT...a quick question:Have you ever met someone who, from the moment you first shook hands with them, gave off an overwhelming vibe of being a whole bucket o' crazy?Discuss.

I had to contact a client at home this morning to touch base about some changes she wanted made to a document I'd prepared.When I called around 11, it was obvious she'd been sleeping when I called. I offered to call back later, but she insisted on continuing the conversation...

An Anonymous Poster asks the following questions about husbands and pets:My husband (an accountant) would like to continue to have a professional life, how difficult is it for JAG spouses to have civilian careers considering that they also have to pack up and move with you every 2-3 years? I really don't want him to end up dragging him to strange places where he will have to sit at home all day and watch paint dry...

I finally seccumbed...and set up a Facebook account. Which, I have to admit, is just as addictive as Blogger was initially. Plus my whole family seems to be on it. (And THANKS to all of you for not inviting ME, I might add....)If you're one of my friends and haven't already been spammed on the basis of your email address being in my address book, drop me a line and I'll add you to my "friends" list.

Why?

Posted on February 10, 2008
Why do people presume they know my kids and my situation better than I do?It's been about 2 years since Mr. Q and I purchased our current cell phones. Since they weren't exactly "high tech" to begin with, this means they're pretty dated. We've been batting around the idea of switching service providers, but are running into a roadblock with keeping our old cell numbers...

Some Days Work Feels A Lot Like Law School

Posted on February 07, 2008
I'm seriously considering carrying a backpack to work. You know, for all my homework. Tonight I came home with a 7 inch (yes, I measured) stack consisting of 2 binders, 5 documents to be reviewed, and a book. OK, so the book was the FAR and accounts for an inch and a half on its own, but still...

Why Aren't There Any Clever Quotes Involving Hot Chocolate?

Posted on December 10, 2007
I trekked to Fort Wayne to check on the house this past weekend.In addition to lopping off several inches of my hair, I went out to dinner with a distant cousin. After dinner, we went to one of the DeBrand Chocolate shops. I'd been there on previous visits to purchase gifts for family members, or little treats for myself (I HIGHLY recommend the coconut truffles), but I'd never had one of their hot beverages...

JAG-To-Be posted the following question:Deployment seems to be volunteer-centered, so how do JAGs become aware of the opportunities to deploy?
