I went into the judge’s chambers a moment ago to fill my water bottle. He was sitting at his desk, busy opening a package of nuts. As I leaned over the water dispenser, I heard the judge say, “Hello, kiddo.” I said hello, and as I stood to leave, he said, “You came in like the fog over Chicago — on little cat feet. I didn’t even hear you.” Ah, English major judges… <3
the fog on little cat feet. that’s one of my fave analogies!
omg, i didn’t even see the title of ur blog until AFTER i commented. weirdness.
That’s cuz you’re one of my most literary friends!
i also have a weakness for men who call me “kiddo,” i think bc it makes me feel young.
Dwaine calls me kiddo on occasion, even tho he’s younger than me (by just a tad). And my judge calls everyone kiddo, even the secretary who I think may be older than he is.
I liked that he alluded to my little cat feet. *giggle*
Do they have claws?
yes, but the claws are retracted in moments of ninjacat sneakiness.
boo, two of my comments were rejected for shortness. they were:
1) *like*!
and
2) bat!
why am i being punished for conciseness? the world needs more conciseness if u ask me. convinced it would solve 99% of our problems.
I would just say “true,” but I would be rejected for shortness, too.
I don’t understand your second rejected comment.
u don’t understand the comment, or u don’t understand why rejected? i was just noticing that bat commented so i yelled “bat!” LOL
I don’t understand why you are yelling at me. >:/
yelling was wrong word, i meant affectionately beckoning.
I feel like an outsider here-so I’ll be friendly and just give a holla to Bat too! Hi Bat!
C-I hope you have lived through your horrible special circ. case day. After our last one I am careful about which cases I “volunteer” to do the prelim on. Groan. It was such a pain. You know I will be down on your floor next year?
That’s more like it Anny.
Maggie – Bat’s aaaaaaall the way in Indiana, that’s why you haven’t met him.
I live and relive the death penalty case. I’m STILL doing other people’s nuncs trying to clean up their carelessness from 7 years ago. And they’re coming back beginning of next month for more error-spotting and correcting. Blah.
You’re gonna be on our floor? YAY! Where? And are we gonna move pilates then?
“C” I’m not sure what to do about pilates. We will worry about that later. Can’t imagine Ralph and Erin being happy to have us there. :-/
that department works through lunch. yeah, you’re right.
hey now..i’m sure we can work something out for next year 🙂
And Cindy, congrats to you and Mr. W!! I’m so happy for you guys 🙂 You are going to be an amazing mother!
Hi Erin! Thanks for the comment! I didn’t even know you had the address to this blog. =) Welcome!
You didn’t??? I thought we’ve had conversations about it even…?
Uh-oh..I hope I’m not one of those *unauthorizeds* you refer to now and then. I’ve been reading on and off for years–I’m hooked now, girl 🙂
we might’ve had conversations, but I have no recollection of it. I assume I gave you the address then, which means you’re not of the “unauthorizeds.” I didn’t gasp in horror in my head when I got a comment from you, and I don’t see a reason why I wouldn’t tell you this stuff in person anyway (except that we rarely run into each other). So no worries. 🙂
