Great Day Parts 2 and 3 (But it's getting better!)

Oh please let this week end soon.

Wednesday:

I settled a $10M case for 4 figures. (It's not nearly as impressive as it sounds. But it was good to get my client out of a complex, multi-party case that was going to be very expensive to defend.)


I got threatened with a $100M lawsuit. (Guess we hit a nerve with that Complaint!)

I filed a motion for sanctions against yesterday's lawyer for failing to remove his improperly noticed hearing from the Friday's docket. (I forgot about the mailbox rule in my last post, so I didn't even have to rely on the lame technical late fax argument.)

I finally got home from work at 10:00 pm.

Thursday:

Telephone hearing with arbitrator (my first arbitration!)

Worked my tail off to draft a substantive response to the bullshit, late-filed motion, but had it on file by 4:00 (yay e-filing!)

Got another late-filed bullshit motion from the same opposing counsel that completely manipulates two different statutes. Happily learn that I completely anticipated and countered opposing counsel's arguments in the response I had just filed. Feel very good about arguing against this bullshit motion because I read every single case involving one of the statutes when I did my annual survey a few weeks ago, and I fully researched the other statute for another case recently. (Unfortunately there is absolutely no case law construing both of the statutes together.  This would be a great case to take up on appeal.)

Left the office at 5:15 (Woot!), terrible traffic, grabbed kids for a quick dinner, then had to go buy a gift for a baby shower at work tomorrow.

Back home by 8:00, drafted outline of arguments for hearing tomorrow.  Got all my mother's crap together so that I can drop it off because my uncle is driving her home Saturday morning!!!!

Tomorrow:

Hearing, baby shower, drop off mother's crap.
