Work has been so busy since coming back. We've gone into a full-fledged trial with documents and sharp-tongued arguments flying all over the place. Its a three-way fight and each party is sticking to their guns, no one wants to back down and settle when clearly, we are so winning. But don't quote me on this. I'm not liable for any representations made on this blog and on the off chance that the counsel from the other side are free enough to be blog-hopping and happen on my blog, i will disclaim all liabilty. But yes, in my humble opinion, I think things are looking good for our client.

It has been fun watching the trial unfold. Today our witnesses were being cross-examined and the Boss would jump up every so often to object to the other counsel's questions. Even when the evidence was slow, there was a certain amount of adrenaline in the room and I could feel why I had gotten into this profession. I even got a chance to say a word or two myself which irked the pompous ass to my left to no end.

The down side to trials is that going to one means you end up coming back to the office around 5.30 and starting a regular work day at that point so you're working doubly long hours. And for someone who's jetlagged, I'm well and truly exhausted!

Ah well, thankfully tomorrow is the last day of this tranche, am looking forward to getting some sleep this weekend!
