I've been tortured the last few days because the very back brackets were digging into my cheek and being hurty.
I looked into my mouth shining a powerful flashlight on it, and my cheek looks terrible >_> It has a puncture and a long jagged gash on the right side and an ulcer on the left.

Also, I saw that there's a few millimeters of wire poking out from the brackets. I suspect that they're the reasons it hurts abnormally so. The dentist is a 1.5 hour drive away...

I remember the days when I had that happen.  I always either got some gum and used that, or I tore it out with my bad hands.  Because I was stupid in those days, and had a rather high pain tolerance.  I couldn't tell whether my mouth was more torn up or my hands.

Uh oh, I've been up long enough that I'm starting to lose visual standardization of the font size.

I've finally found the perfect way to power through a full 36 hours and reset my fucked-up sleep schedule. By not eating I have invoked unyielding feelings of hunger that will distract me from any possibility of sleep! It's genius! This is awful!

Today I had a woman call me, because her son got in a fight with three police officers: not felonious assault, but a felony assault nonetheless. She was of the impression that this would be an easy case because he was "just off his meds."

I explain to her what should be the blatantly obvious, you hit a cop you're going to jail for a bit and his only chance is a Not guilty by reason of insanity (NGRI)..... Watch any TV show, people view the insanity defense as bullshit most of the time and quite frankly juries today seem to just be pissed in general and good luck predicting them.

$1,000 to do the case and that is a godsend price by the way, because three felonies on police.... Bitch thinks it's too much.... I can't believe it really, because I know the minimum for something like this is $2000 or $3000, because .... felonies ... on police....  . She calls me an ass and ends it with "We'll call you back." No, she won't.

The biggest of the numerous problems with these new phones is, you can't slam them down to hang up.

It appears the only way I'm going to get through this is by looking at my job as strictly a process without focusing on the result, because .... Jesus, really? This is far more common than you think. I've had to tell people they aren't ordering a fucking hamburger and that what they want means exactly jack shit to the judge and prosecutor, that the entire system is set up to deal with giving criminal defendants exactly what it knows they DON'T want (or did these people think anybody liked getting arrested etc). I actually had one moron say "I don't want probation...." This was in regards to a felony burglary ....

I started to explain to him exactly why a trial would be bad for him on the facts and that 0 jail time with probation only was a pretty good deal, but then I just stopped, because come on .... If he doesn't get that now, then I don't know what would make him get it later after everything else I said. Same deal with the kid I would've gotten a felony case retroactively erased from any record from if only he'd have gone to rehab.

Some days, I ask why I am not allowed to slap these people for their own good. [slap] Go to rehab, it'll get rid of any mention of the case. [slap] Do the probation, you'll never see jail. [sigh] One can dream ... such wonderful dreams....

I feel like there should be some kind of pamphlet with all this information.

[Eric Blank]

It sounds like printing such a pamphlet would just be a huge waste of paper and ink.

I feel like there should be some kind of pamphlet with all this information.

Because the people who would benefit most from it wouldn't read it.

Yes you can. Only works once though.
