Yay, I was able to buy tickets on ticketmaster. Always a game at noon on Friday if you'll be able to get through before they get all bought up and then are available for 3 times the price on stubhub...

Back to work on Monday.

Back to work on Monday.

You know, it is nice to see someone happy about that.

Me, I've been working so many years without a substantial break, I don't even remember what it was like to not be working all the time. 

When I dare take a week off, it's like a big deal that I have to prepare for months in advance, and even so there's always some big issue about it, and someone NEEDS to talk to me during it. I'm just bloody tired - bone tired.

Are you going to be able to retire early with all the scratch you're making, at least?

Possibly - but not, alas, tomorrow.

It's a hard knock life, I guess.

But it does underline the point: even "good" lawyer jobs are terrible.

Meh. It's any professional-style job, really, that has this level of responsibility, and pay.

I don't really know anyone who gets paid this sort of cash who isn't worked the same way.  I don't usually complain about it, I'm just feeling pissy and tired.

Depends on your personality.

I have occasionally been tempted by Wall Street, where I probably have a reasonable shot of getting a job that pays two to three times what I make now.  I know I would be absolutely miserable, though, as would my wife.  So much so that it would not even be worth a two to three year stint just to bank some scratch for the future.

yep. Similar thing with Chicago, which I get a lot of here.

Apparently at his town hall today McCain called for the legalization of weed.

I wonder if he's actually still trying to be President eventually...


Is he 80 yet?
