    TMW the client asks if you are available for a project and then seems reluctant to let you see the project before you agree to it. They want a yes and then they'll let you see it.

    Not suspicious at all.... no... :wtf:

    ETA: Then I get the project, I'm reviewing it, and not minutes later I get another email that the defendant is taking the plea, so no need for the project.

    Attorneys are so weird, wot wot! :whistle: :wotwot:

    Couldn't that get messy losing all motor function?

    theory is you have to know what its like so you aren't cavalier with it .... same reasoning back in the day meant we all had to sit in a room full of tear gas on a riot control course before we deployed to ulster....

    That was the worst. To this day I still don't understand how a single human body can produce that much mucous in so short a time. o_O

    UGH, I'd take a Taser shot again over CS gas in a heartbeat. I HATED the gas chamber with a thousand fiery passions.
    They recorded the first one. I cussed like a sailor. Loudly. For the entire time. Wonder if I still have that video somewhere?

    I've never been tased - they weren't around at the time , but I got shot with a rubber bullet on the same course - that shit hurt, even through a chest protector

    I've never been tased, either. When I was born, the doctor had to smack my behind in the traditional way to get me to bawl. You punk kids have it so much easier, what with all this new technology and everything. :p

    Y'all who have been tear gassed and tased are some serious badasses. Respect.

    I'm tough as hell. One day, one day a honey bee landed on my arm and walked across it, then it flew off. I'm tough as hell.

    TMW you're working and get a coughing fit.
    You hear others having coughing fits.
    You see security and first aid people vomiting.
    You realized some a-hole bear sprayed the area.

    Well, since it was just a re-cert, no one ended up getting Tased. That dummy had one hell of a bad day though.

    TMW you find a thread that should make a good resource..... but when you open it up its full of now banned members having a shit fight

    Closely followed by TMW you decide life is too short to bother sorting the wheat from the bollocks

    and also TMW you realise you've combed through general writing so many times you are begining to recognise threads without opening them ... oh yeah thats the one with the interesting title but no useful info , thats the one with the interesting title but all the links are broken, thats the one who's title doesnt represent its content , and so on

    TMW you end a full day of writing with 1,092 words under your belt and your brain is exhausted.

    ... when you suddenly realise a certain character's goal makes absolutely no sense, and jeopardizes the entire 10,000 words you've written so far.
