Enrique 0 #1 July 12, 2002 I don't normally lay my dirt on anybody, but this week has been kind of rough and I need to get it out of my head.... If being grounded for the past 4 weeks (and counting) due to an ankle injury wasn't enough, today a very stupid judge managed to make my life miserable. Besides being a skydiver, I work as a lawyer in Mexico. Well, a few weeks back I got into a very nasty argument with a judge that was to decide on a labor case I was litigating in his court. Today I found out that he ruled against my client eventhough I provided all the evidence necessary to easily win the case.NOW THAT REALLY SUCKS! I have never lost a case before .... I have never sprained my ankle before.... is this a trend? Or is life trying to teach me something!? Except for yesterday, I have never before posted on this forum, and I apologize for posting a ton of dirt... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #2 July 12, 2002 Well, look at the bright side...you didn't BREAK your ankle, and you didn't lose the case because you did a bad job, you just had a bad judge. And, there's a first for everything. So, now you can think "been there, done that" for those 2 things, and never live to repeat them again!She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hohonukai 0 #4 July 12, 2002 Welcome! Have my favorite beer (Cerveza) and chalk it up as some of life's lessons. Even if we don't always understand them at first, we always learn something. Actually, drink one for me too! My week's not so good either. Keep your chin up and cheers! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hohonukai 0 #9 July 12, 2002 heeey, wait a minute. QuoteI have never lost a case before .... I have never sprained my ankle before.... Being the skydiver that you are, I think someone has two first's going on. Life might be telling you that you need to drink more beer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Enrique 0 #10 July 12, 2002 Dude, you are right! I will make sure I drink enough beer tonight so as to arrive at least 3 hours late to my office tomorrow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Enrique 0 #14 July 12, 2002 Not in labor cases. The only remedy I have available is a shot-in-the-foot kind of deal, so I'm pretty much stuck. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michele 1 #15 July 12, 2002 Hey, Enrique! Yes, well, you sprained an ankle and are grounded. Yes, well, you lost a case. BUT: The sun rose today, and the world is still turning. You are still a skydiver, and the sky isn't going anywhere - your ankle will heal. And you have other clients to fight for, and you will prevail. Go have a great dinner, a great beer, and don't poke your eye out or anything (being a blind, skydiving lawyer, though, would be rather unique...)!!!!

MarkF 0 #19 July 12, 2002 Sounds to me like you need a bottle of the Queensland Doctor otherwise known as Bundaberg OP or just plain bundy. The OP stands for Over Proof and it's 57.7% alchohol. (Nrrmal bundy is as weak as piss - a mere 37%) You can use the beer you need to buy for your first loss and your first sprained ankle for the beer chasers. Hmmmm bundy 'n beer chasers. I'm off to the grog shop... Ooroo Mark F... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When you get in close to a bugling bull, you just imitate every sound he makes. They get really pissed off and want to kick your ass. I guess you didn't have the option of shooting the judge with an arrow though? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
