My judge wants to look this “horse’s ass” up now and see who he is.

some people say things, not to whom it seems to be directed at, but because they want to send a message to someone within earshot… what a moron

A friend who works in a nearby court and knows who this judge is says he may have a Napoleon complex. And then I realized, yeah, it must be tough for a 5’0″ man to be taken seriously by women, so maybe he fought his whole life for power and the result is that now he is a judge and a snot. Cuz really, what secure rational person would’ve given a crap that he came out 2 seconds behind the jury? I went and got him, who cares if it was done by buzzing, by poking my head into chambers, by calling him, by messenger pigeon, by clubbing him over his head and dragging him in by his black robe? No one would’ve thought he’s “late” if he didn’t bring it up and make a big deal out of it just so he could blame someone else.

I’m with Jordan. My blood would have been boiling so hot I would have probably been held in contempt myself!!

I can’t stand those type men who have this constant need to show their “power” and put others (esp women) down.

And the traffic? I can’t even imagine!

It would’ve taken everything I had to add “I’m new here and no one showed me where the buzzer is…” to the jurors!! what a creep…

And I just found out this judge is a snot. The courtroom assistant buzzed the jurors to come into the courtroom, and said we need to buzz the judge also. I didn’t know how to “buzz” the judge (they don’t even have the same type of phones which we use to “ding” our judges in my courthouse) and the external buzzers were just labeled “jury” so I went back to chambers, knocked, waited for him to say “come in,” and I poked my head in and said politely to him, “We’re ready for you out there.” He told me I should’ve buzzed him. I explained I didn’t know where the buzzer is. He said I should’ve asked the courtroom assistant, she’s very helpful. I don’t see what the big deal is whether I buzz him, call him, or knock and tell him in person, the message got relayed. But I just smiled and told him okay. So he came in, apologized to the jury (in the box) in open court, and said, “I’m sorry to keep you waiting, ladies and gentlemen. We have a new clerk and she didn’t know how to buzz me. ha, ha. Therese, can you show her where the buzzer is, please? I didn’t know you were all ready for me, I hope you haven’t been waiting long.” On and on. The jurors and attorneys kinda snickered, like how stupid is this new clerk? The crtrm assistant said pleasantly, kinda laughing, “Of course, your honor”, and I actually rolled my eyes from behind the desk. I’ve never rolled my eyes at a judicial officer before. BTW, she still didn’t show me the “buzzer.” And I DID tell her I didn’t know where the buzzer is so I was just gonna go back and tell him, and she said okay, and LET ME DO IT.

Oh I can so relate. I’ve been sent to other locations with strange xray equipment. We somehow muddle through it but WHEW I’m glad to be back in familiar territory!!
