My entire staff is taking over for a busy criminal calendar courtroom today and tomorrow, since that entire staff is on vacation (except the bailiff, who’s here with my bailiff running the guys who are in custody). Mr. W had a lunch shabang that he’d invited me to twice before, and I’d been unsure but I turned it down now that I’m so busy and I may have to work thru lunch. I figured that if I can get enough work done before lunch, I’d join my coworkers for their usual Tuesday lunch out. A retired coworker who drives down weekly for this lunch had emailed everyone to say that she would come out to meet us, and I wrote back that if I’m not too busy, I’d meet them. Before lunch, I got a call from Mr. W asking if I’d be able to join him and his lunch crew. I said no, we were still on the record. But some time went by and I had made some progress, so I walked out to meet my coworkers. They weren’t out there. I called the retired coworker and she said, “You didn’t get my email?” Turned out she’d written me back to cancel lunch due to many people’s unavailability for lunch today, and I didn’t get the email cuz I was so busy in here that I didn’t see it. I didn’t bring my workout bag to go to the gym, either. So I just came back inside to work and blog thru lunch. Yay, fun.
On the brighter side of things, yesterday evening’s run felt good. I’m getting more optimistic about my ability to run the Disneyland half. On the darker side of things, the sun was bright and beaming at 7am this morning, so if it stays like this till the run, I’d be miserable running in direct sunlight.
Yeah, I am having one of those today, too! I had to eat at my desk ’cause my boss stayed in for lunch. And of course, today I didn’t make my lunch due to the fact that everything was spoiled. I didn’t know carrots secret milky liquid when they are going bad. YUCK! Luckily, my co-worker was doing a sandwich run and saved the day!
At least you get to eat. It is FREEZING in here, and I can’t tell whether it’s cuz the AC has kicked in full blast, or because I hadn’t eaten since last nite and my metabolism’s down. I guess I should go find something to eat.
I didn’t mean “yeah,” I meant “ya.” Sorry! I staying in for lunch has taken it’s toll on me.
What??? You have eaten, how do you do that? Run to the vending machine fast
I still haven’t eaten, and now lunch is over and I’m back in my own courtroom to do the afternoon case in my own court. I’m going back up to the criminal court after this to finish off that work. It’s just easier to move me around than to move all the files and crap.
