School starts tomorrow .
Don't pass a school bus with the yellow or red lights on.
" I didn't see the giant yellow bus with flashing lights" isn't a valid excuse.

Anytime I have court first thing in the morning, I always go in really early to make sure I don't run into trouble with traffic or construction. In the winter, I end up hanging out in the solicitors lounge in the courthouse, but in the summer I get to sit out on the waterfront while I review my materials before I go in for the court appearance. Yesterday was absolutely gorgeous.

(Meanwhile, have patience with the admin side of my work as I transition to a new paralegal)

I am amazed on a daily basis that people think their 2 minute Googled answer is better than my advise despite the fact that my advise is based on three university degrees and 15+ years of experience as a litigator....but You Do You, Boo. 😎

When you're back from vacation but you still feel like this...

Took a road trip with the fam jam after a particularly busy winter. It's impressive how stunning all of the government buildings are in Europe compared to Canada, where they are generally square boxes devoid of character.
