Jul. 8th, 2003 03:26 pmI had a horrible moment when I came back from lunch. I was checking through the pile of outstanding briefs on my desk, when my eye was caught by a set of instructions... "counsel is instructed to appear at the N county court on 8th August at 10:30."
I'm not sure why, but for a full minute and a half I was convinced that was today, and that I had committed the ultimate, unforgiveable, professional sin: forgetting a hearing and failing to attend without giving good reason.
That was an hour and a half ago and I can still feel the remnants of the adrenalin coursing through my bloodstream. Perhaps I should have a little lie down.
Went out for a drink with someone I met the other day last night, had a surprisingly good time considering we hardly knew each other.
Current music: really rather good actually. Quite surprisingly so.
