Yesterday. The day that shall be known as "fuck you, and fuck you too" day.
Sooo, I start my morning by driving to bumfuck Oklahoma for a simple friendly suit hearing. I get to the courthouse, and it is completely blocked off and construction is going on. The only entrances are obviously for construction workers. I'm all:
So I call the court clerk, because there is NOTHING on the website about this fuckery. She is all, "Oh yeah, we are moved temporarily."
I'm like, Okay, well, I got here early, but after walking around the courthouse and shit, I have about 5 minutes to get to my hearing. Will you tell the judge I will be late? "Oh, the drive is only like 4 minutes." Okay, honey, but then I have to park, get my shit, FIND the courtroom in this RANDOM ASS BUILDING. It's going to take me longer than 5 minutes.
So, I get there. Judge gets on the bench (about five minutes late, fortunately for me." ANNNNND Plaintiff isn't there. This is just to approve a settlement, Plaintiff is pro se. This is not my case, okay. I am filling in for a partner who didn't want to drive to bumblefuck Oklahoma. So I call the guy. NO ONE TOLD HIM ABOUT THE HEARING.
Anyway, he shows up, about 30 minutes late. We get it all done and filed. Whatever. SOOO, then I get back to work with just enough time to cram some food down, get out a letter from the first hearing, grab my new folder, and drive to bumblerfuck Oklahoma for my second hearing. I am about 2 hours into my drive to bumblerfuck, when I get an email. PLAINTIFF'S COUNSEL IS NOT COMING.
We have rescheduled this hearing not once, not twice, but three FUCKING times around this asshole's schedule. Like, really? REALLY!?! So, I get there and talk to the judge. Apparently Plaintiff is showing up, just not her counsel. Okay, well, homeboy never signed the fucking orders, soooo, I guess his CLIENT WILL. SINCE HE ISN'T COMING. And leaving me alone with his client in front of the judge.
But WAIT! Even though this is just a settlement confirmation hearing, homeboy who didn't fucking show, doesn't want to dismiss this case now.
Noooo, he may want to bring another claim. *cough*bullshit*cough* So, I go BACK in the courtroom to put in a scheduling order. Because we did a Motion for Scheduling Conference already and the hearing date was yesterday, FOR WHICH PLAINTIFF'S COUNSEL DIDN'T SHOW. And then is all, "I have nothing about this in my notes. OH REALLY!?! Because a-I have a copy of the email we sent you with this information b-I have a copy of the docket sent to you c-I have a copy of the email exchanges between me and your assistant about rescheduling it AGAIN to fit YOUR schedule, asswipe.
So, I get that shit done and then drive the two and a half hours home and get home at about 7:00.
"This prick is asking for someone here to bring him to task Somebody give me some dirt on this vacuous mass so we can at last unmask him I'll pull the trigger on it, someone load the gun and cock it While we were all watching, he got Washington in his pocket."
