” Okay you win at least partially.   Just for the record I know you staged her in front of an open door on purpose.  You did forget one item of pathos to complete the picture, the beloved tattered teddy bear.” The lawyer had the grace to look sheepish. “The beloved tattered teddy is currently drying out in… [read more]

“What?  You’ve got to be kidding.  Read it again.  There’s a major mistake nesting in that paperwork.”   As an university research librarian, speaking quietly is a keenly honed librarian characteristic.  Yet here I was creating decibel havoc in a lawyer’s office. “It’s stated quite clearly, Ms Payton.  Of course you don’t have to accept.  However as it stands now, the… [read more]
