Public Service Announcement Fail

My public service announcement to myself to be nice and to not procrastinate just got stamped with a big fat red FAIL. I prepared multiple copies of a variety of court documents in complex proceedings involving a number of parties. They have taken me ages to prepare. I duly printed them, faithfully checked and collated them and, with careful positioning of the stapler, securely fastened them. I then gave them to the Overlord to sign and they were returned to me not long after, with a decree to re-do about half of them again, because that half had a signature block with a dotted line, and the other half had a signature block without a dotted line, and we should be careful to be Consistent. Yeah, Consistently Frustrating. And never mind that the documents were based on our own firm's precedents. You never noticed it the billion times you looked at the documents before.

So, it's now the afternoon and not only haven't I finished the documents yet, I've just consumed my feelings in the form of a large iced mocha chocolate. With cream.

And I might need to call the paramedics to get the pencils out of my cranium.

  1. Even Mary McKillop would have slipped up in this scenario. I'm sure you get a couple of free passes.
