I can has tranzcrypt?
Jun. 5th, 2009 01:28 pmI just paid a bill to a stenographic service for my two hellish days of depositions in April, for which they charged me more for their typing services than I charged my client for my own time for being there and rendering actual legal service for the whole ordeal.
Making it okay, though, are the following facts:
(1) The client paid my bill, and theirs, in two days flat; and
(2) This is their very B-lo logo on their website:
Ain't he cute? Other than that, all I can say is, when this court reporter needs a bathroom break? YOU GIVE HIM ONE.

Eleanor has become quite the fan of Joshilyn Jackson, the faboo best-selling Grand Central Publishing author
-seen here with, um, another of them- who I "met" through some long-forgotten blogging koinkidink years ago, but whose blog has become regular reading for the missus as well since she started blogging herself. (It was Joss, I think, who really got her following Lolcats.) Earlier this week, Joss reported that she'd needed to go in for some preventive oral surgery, which left her with a clean bill of mouf healf but stuck on a liquids-only diet and a bottle full of Lortabs. Neither of these proved especially helpful, so Eleanor sent her a comment on an earlier entry this week with a recipe from her own job demo'ing Wegmans freezyproducts:
Fruit smoothie: 1/2 cup frozen blueberries, 1/2 cup pomegranate juice, 3/4 cup vanilla yogurt, 1/2 naval orange, peeled and sectioned. Blend in blender on high for one minute. Can also be done with orange juice instead of pom, strawberries instead of blueberries, and a banana instead of the orange. I use organic yogurt that's had Omega-3s added, so it's heart healthy.
One entry later, Joss reported that she was now off the Lortabs, which were making her exceptionally loopy, and that as far as smoothies were concerned, if she saw Eleanor's recipe at all, she was definitely inclined to depart from the text:
I would make an appallingly bad junky. I do not like drugs, they do not like me back, and I go off of them at the very first given opportunity. I am now eating a respectable amount of Motrin and self medicating with iced caffeine. Last night, my mouth was really bugging me and I could not sleep, so I got into the Irish painkillers. I put chunks of fresh pineapple, strawberries from my co-op box, half a ‘nanner, some Mott’s Tot’s 40% less sugar fruit juice, TONS of ice and 2 oz Stoli citron into the blender and called that dinner.
Slept like a lambkin.
