• And the Winner Is

  I have had an unbelievably good year professional-wise. I have gotten several very favorable newspaper articles about cases of mine. I had a universal remand from the State Supreme Court (pretty much that means that I am right and the State was wrong and nyah nyah). I have had some grant ideas that went over well.

  I got an award at work (basically the employee of the year award) and I just got a letter telling me that I got another award – this time from a group of agencies that I work for. I am supposed to get the aweard at an annual awards breakfast and it’s kind of a big deal.

  Bill was happy for me (we had lunch today since I had the day off and he was home, of course) but he refused to even consider going to the awards breakfast.

  “They’ll be people and hand shaking and speeches and I’m going to have to meet people.”

  “Well, yeah,” I said.

  It’s a goddamn awards ceremony FOR HIS WIFE and all he can think about is that he would have to shake hands or talk to someone.

  Fucking hell.
