Man I have such a hard crash after I testify in court. Four days in a blistering and ferociously emotional hearing followed by hours on the stand. I get such a weird high up there dealing with those asshole soulless attorneys on the other side (my attorneys are, of course, good noble folks who only care about justice and the law) that when it is over I barely know how to exist in the world anymore.

I got to be the champion of the common man against the evil corporations and their big government puppets this time (an unusual position for an unelected government bureaucrat to be in) so I also got the esteem and love of the plebs. That was cool.

Just sitting here at work today thinking 'wow...ok. Not sure what to do with myself.'

Can you describe the context, or did I miss it elsewhere?

I am an expert witness for the Public Utilities Commission of Texas. So just part of the job. I had a huge transmission line hearing this week, a case I had poured hundreds of hours of work into over the past 13 months. It ended, for me anyway, yesterday. So...now I feel weird.

Heh, I know the feeling. Some people get addicted to the rush of litigation.

Have we had this posted yet?



(N.B.: Lemmy died in 28/12/2015. I say close enough to be included. Also, doesn't include Leonard Cohen yet.)

The year is still not over.

I'm more used to it, obviously, but yeah litigation can be a hell of a rush.  I'm kind of useless for a day or so after a huge trial.

Of course then I think that there are fuckers who kill animals like this for sport and I'm not in good mood anymore.

Posting on Languish might be.

Depends.  You can't really pee and hold it in at the same time, it's all or nothing situation.  But I once listened in amazement to a 10-15 second long super-loud never-ending fart, and that struck me as a little excessive.
