That's just terrible, Truean. Aside from drunken stupor, what on earth are you going to do?

[Bauglir]

Good luck, friendo. You deserve it (the good luck I mean, not your current situation).

[kaijyuu]

I don't suppose you could just show up in body armor when talking to the defendant?

Yeah I also hope things turn out better for you in the future. I've full confidence in your abilities; let's hope luck holds up it's side of the bargain and you get a better situation.

Having the worst time with religion right now o_O  A friend and I started up a discussion through Facebook about my decision to not believe in God anymore.  He's a strong Christian friend, and as is his duty as my friend and a Christian, he is trying to convert me back.  There's nothing wrong with what he's doing, or how he's doing it.  But it's making me feel awful anyway.  I'm also trying to write a fanfiction that I started a year ago, and I'm stumbling over a part where the main character becomes an acolyte (Ragnarok Online fanfiction, acolytes are the healing class) due to the religious nature involved.

I need a tall glass of video game right about now  o_O

[Truean]

Thank you, I appreciate the concern, truly.

Not entirely sure what I'll do, though Ideally, I'd just go to a different firm that doesn't mind having someone who reads legal encyclopedias for fun in their spare time--one that has someone else to take on the especially heinous crimes. Aside from its heinous nature, it really really helps to specialize in this particular area when you're doing this sort of thing. Not sure how that'll pan out in this market. I don't mind doing the usual, non heinous criminal stuff. This is not usual.

[Hugs Kijyuu, if that's ok] ....

Especially after the last thing he did, he'll be fully shackled, to the table before I enter that room with an armed guard at the door, at least.

Night.

In the world of videogames, Lucia in Wii Sports Resort is still beating my ass.

I'm good at videogames too! I beat Godhand's hard mode! That's ballbustingly hard! I beat Nethack three times! Only complete hermits and crazy people can do that once! Resident Evil 4 and 5 Mercenaries are my favorite minigames of all time, with me getting SS rank on every map with every character! My reflexes are finely honed!

And I'm good at real Table Tennis too! I'm the best student at my school!

Lucia is something else though! Her very existence hearkens back to the day of Nintendo Hard games, except worse! She is beyond supernaturally good, and I'm surprised that a larger mythos hasn't sprung up around her sacrificing the Island-goers for otherworldly Ping Pong skills.

I hate Lucia so much!

Aside from its heinous nature, it really really helps to specialize in this particular area when you're doing this sort of thing.

In my university, there was a branchout in law studies in which students could choose to go for the "civil" route, and the "penal" route (the latter was regarded as having easier subjects). Of course, this did not prevent them from going into a practice opposite of their branch choice afterwards.... an ex (sort of) of mine went for the penal path (because of the aforementioned theoretical ease), and now she has her own buffette and does pretty much anything, for what I've seen from her webpage.

I am really sorry you're being put in this position... and that this is far from the only time your firm has been giving you this crap either! I only speak for myself, but I don't know that I could do what you're doing, so your tenacity is admirable. At least putting up with the firm's crap for as long as you have looks good on a resume... so keep that in mind as you work through this, and start looking toward your future.

If I may ask, is law your true passion, or are there other fields or subjects you're trained/interested in? You might consider this an opportunity to branch out, be that toward different ways of using your current training, or pursuing something else that's more in line with what you'd like to be doing in the long-term.

Good luck, and I wish you strength in getting through this.

I HAVE NO TIME GIVE ME TIME

[Criptfeind]

I'm getting that urge again.  The urge to make a forum RPG that'll never pan out.  Maybe.  Maybe I'll do it.

Send me a PM if you do, I don't really pay attention to FG&RP anymore, but I always like your games, and they serve as inspiration to me sometimes.

*urgh* Need to get more than 3 hours sleep before pulling a 10-hour shift. Thank God it's Saturday so I can mostly fall asleep, at least for the first few hours.

Hopefully you can get him to go for a plea bargain and be done with the whole damned thing relatively quickly.

[Urist Imiknorris]

Hopefully you can get him to go for a plea bargain and be done with the whole damned thing relatively quickly.

He attacked and injured his last lawyer just for suggesting a plea deal.

Good luck on that one.

In my dream last night I went to Maine and was captured by some military and forced into a labor camp.  It was scary.

[JoshuaFH]

Nobody comes out of Maine alive.
