Woman Defies All Odds, Bores All With Reenactment of Same Old Stunt

Hey, remember when I left my lights on on Saturday night, then locked my keys in the car when I walked away to call for help? Wasn't that a good stunt?

You are not flippin' going to believe this.

When I got to my car tonight, I found that I had left the lights on (again) and the battery was dead (again). Damn. I got out of the car to call Matt, who was parked on a different level of the ramp. Matt drove down to my level to help. We went back to my car, and...discovered that I had locked the keys in it! Again! My God! Is it even possible for someone to be so simultaneously competent and incompetent???? This time, I had not left any doors open and was simply SOL. Matt located a hanger and began fishing around in the door. Geoff drove by with a wave and a big grin. Finally, I had to call Shad, who delivered the extra key and jumper cables. Matt jumped the car and I was good to go. Seriously, is it possible? Twice in the same week I pull the exact same shenanigans? Can anyone be so dumb? Matt assured me that when we open our perfect law firm, I will be attended to by a chauffeur, which will save the firm a great deal of money in the long run.

In my own defense--it was a really long day. I was up until 3 a.m. writing that stupid paper. Then I set my alarm for 5:30 a.m. at which time I returned to school and attempted to revise it. At 8:45, met Matt and Elissa to see 8th Circuit oral arguments in our moot court room. Then had lunch with 8th circuit judges, which was super, super, super-dooper awesome. I sat at a small table with Judge Gruender and he was very nice--we had great conversation. I also had the chance to talk to Judges Diana Murphy and Myron Bright. Straight from lunch I went to clinic, then to PR, then to Great Books seminar follow-up class, then a cameo at Amnesty event, then to vomit-inducing 3-hour law journal authority check session. When Matt & Geoff stuck their heads into the Journal office after their night class, I knew I couldn't take it much longer. I wrapped things up and met them at the bar for a beer with some other classmates. Meanwhile, I heard back about OCI interviews and am happy to report that I have 9 interviews scheduled for next week. Woo hoo! Let the fun begin. Am hoping to get 8 hours of sleep tonight. Must rest up to meet with hearing officer tomorrow a.m. re: speeding ticket. Then seminar thingy at school and book release party at Big Brain in late afternoon. Ta ta!
