Anthony Burgess, right. I hate to sound insufferable, but all I really want out of life these days is to be able to walk without pain. The good thing about being sick is that it lowers your expectations, Ish pointed that out, I believe. I was greatly pleased last week, and I know it was evil of me, but I couldn't help it, I posted a while back about me and my erstwhile partner parting ways, and one of the things that he did that really hurt was go to the client behind my back and get him to fire me off a case that was mine to begin with. I brought Brian in as co-counsel, and when we parted ways, he said he would withdraw, and would send me the paperwork, so what he did was bad in more ways than one. So, I couldn't help but feel vindicated when he had to take a nonsuit the day before trial because the defense attorney succeeded in getting some of his evidence excluded for non-compliance with the rules of discovery. I haven't seen the pleadings, but it can only be due to one of two things, carelessness, and Brian is careless, or games that backfired. There is a hole in the wall at Brian's office where I kicked a chair in frustration because he was trying to play games in another case, and I thought it would backfire. He never got it fixed, left it there to embarrass me. (Small hole, just a small corner-shaped hole in the sheetrock.) So ol' Brian screwed up bad enough to have to start over, which is a terrible waste of money for the client. The relevance of this is that I thought Brian hung the moon. My own spouse seemed terribly flawed in comparison. Turned out, Brian was a habitual manipulator and deceiver, while Chris just tells the truth. It doesn't look as pretty, but it feels better.
