No More Whine!
Oooh, oooh! Many many things have happened since I last blogged, all of them (fairly) positive.
The biggest and best thing is that my business is beginning to take off. I have closings every day, and then I have been getting clients. I figured out that at $300/day over 265 days, I can pull down $79500. Then some days I make more, some days I make less, and then of course I have to pay taxes, and at some point health cover, and so forth, but that's . . . very nice. The closings pay well too for what I am doing. They're generally stress free and if I do two or three a day, my bills are paid and then some. Of course, I'm driving, but anything is better than document review.
Now in terms of my own business, I have been working with a number of clients. I'm not charging a whole lot of money, but it is coming in . . . bam! I do family law, civil litigation, business things . . . I think that things will expand until I have more to pick from and I can say, I don't do this. . . snort.
Or I kinda like general practice. I might actually not mind moving to some small place and being one of a couple of lawyers in the town and having an old fashioned office on the courthouse square.
The best part of this is I am being successful and have choices and am going to use my power for good, mostly.
Thus far, I did that business fraud thing and got those guys their business back . . . which has been interesting, as they resolutely have failed to listen to any of my advice thus far like, y'all should get your business license! Yes, you really do need it!
And I put together and ran the whole stolen dog thing. Yah I know that it ended up in criminal court, what a farce but still.
I still have the Vineyard case. Fascinating, and a great name-maker.
I have a couple of family law type cases . . . a child support enforcement, a hellish divorce, and then a weird 1st amendment deal.
I am working with my foreign Tahitian investor, the first guy having abandoned me.
Now something I am very proud of is that one lady who I have been working with her . . . some relative, she got let go from her job after something like 3 years and 364 days, and they were paying 2 weeks severance for every year, and then they only wanted to give her 6 weeks severance, so I said, give me $100. . . and I will do my best, and so I made one phone call and BAM she got what she wanted, I was so happy! She was too!
Then another good thing I did was Gummi Bear was in a car accident and they wanted- actually, were rather insistent- about repairing his old car. I said it didn't make sense to put that kind of money into an 11 year old car that was giving trouble so long story short, he got $1177 more for the car than he would have had I NOT negotiated with the Insurance company, and he also ended up with a new Charger, 2012, for 19,088, 1700 odd dollars cheaper than the least expensive non-disclosure car.
And also in this custody case - y'all, this doesn't have to make sense to you. All I need is so that when I go back and look at this, it makes sense to ME. Opposing counsel drags in his whole dog and pony show, carts of binders, and I just show up with my one folder. I ended up getting what we wanted! Yay for me!
So now I am on my way to being rich and like one of the 1% I think I should do what rich people are always being accused by liberals of doing, which is Oppressing the Poor. The only poor person I really know is Trey, and I have practiced on him, but he is resolutely unoppressible. He throws fits anyway. I dunno where all these poor people are that are oppressible but let me see can I find any so I can practice.
I know one thing for sure is Mrs. Rick is not oppressible. I made the mistake of agreeing to handle something for her - getting some unclaimed funds- and she now calls me EVERY DAY. Also you take one look at Mrs. Rick and she is not the kind of lady I would mess with. I cannot blame Rick for smoking I think. I would too. She's about to drive me to it. I sent in the paperwork, that's all I can do. Sigh.
And I have a new good joke for you. So Ford is creating a new division, sponsored by Ellen, to replace Mercury. They also want to revive flagging sales of the Taurus, so it's going to get its own division, called CLI . . .
And another one. Everyone's all worked up about Iran getting the nucular bomb, but . . . they cannot even get razors right. They're all like, SCRAPE SCRAPE SCRAPE Achmed what the hell is this! This is a box grater! Fuck it, we'll never get it right, let's just put it in the religion, everyone has to wear big fuck off beards! The solution to this is the . . . nucular goat. Like it's late Friday night in the compound, the goat is looking good! Mohammed goes outside, gets close to the goat, is enjoying himself, and BLAM! problem solved.
