Another short post tonight - 5 mnutes or less!
Today's been a bit of an uphill battle. In the morning the blue devils had their hooks (pitchforks?) into me for some reason - just worried about work, I guess. Anyway, it was enough to throw me off my game and that slowed me down with the work I was trying to get through. I felt kind of like one of those big old steam engines, only running with not enough oil. Annoying, and messed up my plan for the day's work. Added to which I got a terse letter from a plaintiff solicitor threatening to enter judgment if I didn't get a defence in pronto. I was more than a little ashamed when my boss brought the said letter to me and asked if the defence had not been done, and I had to concede it hadn't. Not a disaster by any means - God knows I've made far bigger mistakes than that - but it breaks little chips off what I like to think of as my confidence. For some reason I couldn't or wouldn't bring the thought-altering techniques I've learned from SD to bear, so I just had to slug my way though it. On the upside, slugging though the day did still get done a lot of what I needed to get done, and that always helps bring some perspective back, so I'm back to normal much more now.
Tomorrow I have a hearing on, and a bunch of case reviews, but God willing I'll not have to reschedule my appointment with SD again. I'd like to get that process brought to a head.
OK, this is longer than I intended to write. Bedtime.
