This Week

Well, last week I guess, since Sunday we start anew. Last week was the first time since starting to practice law that I had what I would classify as a shitty week. No major events but a bunch of minor defeats, unfair happenings, and reactions causing even more unrest made me so relieved when I finally got home on Friday afternoon. Between a client who fired me after I got him everything he wanted and a judge that yelled at me because our receptionist put her on hold, I felt like the universe was aligned against me last week. It was lame. I am hopeful this upcoming week will be better.

Speaking of hope, I am not ok with these commercials for some cars (Dodges and Jeeps, I think?) that offer the promise of $2.99 gasoline for the first 3 years you own your new car. This offer seems utterly void of hope. Like, regardless of the possibility of a whole new direction for this country come November 4 (or January when he takes the oath), Dodge/Jeep want you to buy into the dejected belief that nothing can changed for the better so the only way to get reasonably priced gas is to buy their cars, even though you probably can't afford it. Boo Dodge and Jeep.


And boo to last week. But unlike Dodge and Jeep, I remain hopeful about the future. This upcoming week. And this upcoming four years.
