Priceless

Sometimes, I love my job. Not very often, mind you, but some days everything goes well and I do love what I do. Today was one of those days. As we walked back to chambers my adversary wondered if he was getting too old to deal with matrimonial cases. I laughed and told him that I definitely was! After our conference with the court wherein we outlined all the nonsense that had been happening on our case the judge furious at the clients grabbed her robe and literally flew to the bench. To a packed courtroom the judge handled every issue I had brought to her attention in such an expedited matter that she alleviated any need I had to bring the motions I had already started in my office. That my friend is justice. Now, ordinarily the client should have been thrilled that such an immediate remedy had been given to her from the judge. Nope, not my client. As we exited the courtroom she proceeded to tell me all the things that had not been addressed and complained about at least 10 other matters ignoring what had just been accomplished. All in a days work, as they say.
