Brief Update

The various stuff percolating inside my skull has yet to spill out my ears or nose and onto my keyboard, so instead the LJ gets a brief journalistic update.

I bought airline tickets today so Lauren and I could spend a long weekend in Key Biscayne, Florida near the end of the month. It's amazing how you can save money by being able to show up late for work on Monday.

The guy from the insurance agency called. Before they can give me malpractice insurance, they have to see my letterhead. Thanks to the wonders of desktop publishing, I now have letterhead, which I faxed to him tonight. At least I know that they got my application. In related news, my business cards should arrive tomorrow. I'm also getting the updated list of available matters from VLA in my email, I appear to be wired into that now, which is good.

I hate my volleyball team. We were in second place going into tonight, then we lost all three games to the first-place team. And I wouldn't really mind being beaten by a better team, except we aren't aggressive or competitive, and telling my teammate to play his own damn position is frowned on. I like these people, so I've let them talk me into staying with them before--this is my problem, in microcosm. But no more. Two more matches this season, plus playoffs if Yahweh himself puts on knee pads and joins us on the court, and that's it.

Meanwhile, Lauren's getting sick or something, and my sinuses have been bothering me for a week.

Work is OK, but I've been unfocused. Today I failed to complete some obligatory paperwork, so I'll have to do it first thing tomorrow morning.

At the moment, I'm tired as hell, but have no desire to sleep.
